AMD: the first to be OpenGL ES 2.0 certified Posted on 12/06/2008 at 19:45 by Nicolas
AMD has announced being the first to have obtained certification from the Khronos Group for its solutions supporting version 2.0 of OpenGL ES (Embedded Systems). This is rather good news because circuits developed by ATI, which use unified shader type architecture, already enabled the company to sign with ST, Freescale and Qualcomm amongst others. Some of these have also adopted OpenVG 1.0 circuits (a 2D vector graphics norm) sold by AMD’s graphic division.
Tests were carried out on the Z430 development kit. You may recall that a Z460 was announced last February at the last Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and that ATI has also offered an OpenGL ES 2.0 emulator for roughly 10 months now. Note that Nvidia is likewise interested in this API as it is now supported by theAPX 2500.
