Imagination: your route to success At Imagination, we create and license market-leading processor solutions for graphics, vision & AI processing, and multi-standard communications.

2 Imagination: your route to success At Imagination, we create and license market-leading processor solutions for graphics, vision & AI processing, and multi-standard communications. They are PowerVR graphics, PowerVR vision & AI and Ensigma connectivity. Imagination is chosen as a partner by many leading innovators in electronics. We achieved that position because we are passionate about innovation and have the drive to deliver technologies that solve key problems in new, more efficient ways. Our technologies offer strong differentiation compared to competing solutions....we have a passion for innovation and the drive to develop technologies that enrich users lives. Our technologies are instrumental in key segments such as: mobile; consumer; automotive; IoT; AR/VR; security; AI; and other markets. We offer features that enable success: whether the latest APIs for graphics and compute; support for a wide range of neural networks; or special features of our architectures such as our low-power and low-bandwidth TBDR graphics processing, or our secure and safe hardware virtualization. Our business model means we only succeed if our customers succeed. We receive a royalty payment when companies create products in volume using our technologies. If our customers do not ship in volume, we don t make a profit. This means we are motivated to work in partnership with our customers and to deliver the support and services they need to reach their target market, on time and in volume.

6 PowerVR Consisting of a comprehensive range of multimedia IP, from GPUs for graphics and GPU compute, to imaging and vision, PowerVR s technology takes data from sensors or CPUs to screen, delivering stunning images for entertainment, user interfaces and much more. These IP cores combine to create optimized IP platforms that can incorporate customer IP to create highly differentiated, state-of-the-art solutions for all forms of visual experiences from the latest games to smart IoT cameras. Create highly differentiated, stateof-the-art solutions for all forms of visual experiences from the latest games to smart IoT cameras PowerVR graphics The PowerVR graphics processor (GPU) family leads the market in technological capability, roadmap breadth and ecosystem, setting the benchmark for mobile and embedded GPUs. PowerVR is the leading graphics technology because it is based on a sophisticated and unique architecture. PowerVR s efficiency through tile-based deferred rendering (TBDR) ensures the lowest possible bandwidth usage and the lowest amount of processing cycles per task, and all of this leads to high performance efficiency and the lowest power consumption per frame, outperforming other solutions. OEMs using chips with PowerVR inside can translate this advantage into products that provide the most amazing visual experiences with the longest possible battery life. PowerVR vision and imaging Smart vision systems and neural networks need new types of dedicated processing that can push performance to new levels while ensuring the greatest efficiencies. PowerVR Vision and artificial intelligence (AI) cores bring new processing capabilities to evolving and emerging markets including mobile, automotive, home entertainment, AR/VR and smart surveillance. PowerVR Raptor image signal processor (ISP) cores are low-power, highly-configurable, designed for SoC integration. The PowerVR Series2NX Neural Network Accelerator (NNA) enables high-performance computation of neural networks at very low power consumption in minimal silicon area.

Ensigma Ensigma delivers a family of highly scalable wireless communication platforms that offer exceptional performance as well as outstanding silicon efficiency.

7 Ensigma Ensigma delivers a family of highly scalable wireless communication platforms that offer exceptional performance as well as outstanding silicon efficiency. This is vital, as today s consumers expect to be connected wherever they go with whatever device they use. The Ensigma wireless connectivity family is a collection of ultra-low power sensor and cloud connectivity IP processors, designed specifically to enable the integration of low-power communications in SoCs, such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, targeting wearables, IoT and other connected devices that require exceptional battery life and low price points. Ensigma Architectures Algorithms High Performance Connectivity Broadcast Lower Power Connectivity High Performance Lower Power The Ensigma architecture can also enable high-performance on-chip wireless communications with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, as well as global DTV, digital radio, and FM receiver capabilities. As well as connectivity IP we deliver comprehensive RF and software solutions All of our Ensigma cores address the evergrowing challenge of proliferating broadcast and connectivity standards by supporting all of them on a single engine, and enabling them to be integrated onto SoCs for the lowest possible system cost. By moving away from using separate wireless combo chips and integrating connectivity onto the main application processor, Ensigma users can reduce power consumption, silicon footprint and bill-of-materials.

These design imperatives permeate everything we do. We are also experts in virtualization for safety and security, which is increasingly important in heterogeneous SoCs.

8 The Imagination difference Our technology has unique advantages that make it highly desirable. Our reputation is built on innovation. Our focus on low power consumption, the smallest silicon area, and the highest efficiency are three key reasons our technology is the choice of leading chip companies. These design imperatives permeate everything we do. We are also experts in virtualization for safety and security, which is increasingly important in heterogeneous SoCs. We are known for our smart solutions to difficult challenges, such as: the tilebased deferred rendering (TBDR) of PowerVR graphics; the disruptive approach of our PowerVR vision & AI cores; and the configurable data-parallel heart of our Ensigma communications cores. These differentiators help our customers stand out in crowded markets and deliver better solutions to their customers. Find out more about how Imagination might be the right strategic partner for you at We build win-win partnerships that enable our customers to differentiate their products using our IP, and together create unique products and successful businesses.
