Apple reportedly developing its own GPU

According to a report by Fudzilla Apple is already several years working on the development of graphics chips. This may be surprising, but it would not be surprising.Apple is now once a hardware and software company, has in the past already many devices and programs designed and produced. Have the capacity, the Group has certain.

The A-series chips previously PowerVR GPUs from Imagination Technologies are used.From the perspective of Apple, it would make sense to move away from dependence on an external graphics supplier and to rely on in-house developments.

However, such a project would take his time, especially if you start from zero. Should the rumor be true, it is likely that the first Apple iPhone GPU can wait a while in coming. Not unlike Apple has taken in developing its A chips. The first iPhone models were still equipped with processors from other manufacturers come since iPhone 4 Apple's own A-Chip (the iPhone 4, it was the A4 chip) used. We can imagine quite possible that Apple equips the graphics unit of its A-chips in the future with its own GPU and so the graphics performance of the device is further improved.

In recent years, Apple has already hired several developers who have the necessary know-how GPU. So Apple hired in 2013, for example, dozens of AMD employees.
