Toshiba develops LSI capable of 3D drawing similar to home game machines with mobile phone



It is said that Toshiba has commercialized a new product "TC 35711 XBG" of image processing LSI (high density integrated circuit) for 3D games for mobile phones.

"TC35711XBG" realizes 3D drawing ability of 100 mega polygons per second which is the world's fastest for mobile phone LSI, and it is processing performance that is comparable to that of home-use stationary game machines.

Details are as follows.
The processing speed of 100 Mega polygon per second for Toshiba's world's fastest mobile phone LSI "TC 35711 XBG" seems to be about 38 times that of conventional products.

This new product can solve the current situation that the processing capacity of the conventional image processing LSI mounted on the mobile phone is lower than that of the stationary game and it is the restriction of software development, and the latest 3D programming technology " Programmable shader "as a result, it is also possible to express realistic 3D images reproducing reflection images of glossy surfaces and dazzling backlighting. Sample shipment seems to be after October.

The 3D rendering ability of 100 mega polygons,Described in WikipediaIt is more than 75 million polygons (75 mega polygons) per second which is the 3D rendering ability of PlayStation 2. This might be amazing.

In other words, will cell phones equipped with outrageous 3D drawing functions after winter this year and full-scale 3D games come out?
