You might remember that a few months ago we treated you to a special preview teasing our next generation display processor, then codenamed ‘Cetus’. We talked about exactly what a display processor adds to the overall graphics pipeline, and to the Mali Multimedia Suite of Graphics, Video and Display but mostly, about the huge leaps our technology has taken in this field. Well, there was a whole heap of interest way back when, so try to contain yourselves as we announce today that Cetus has officially been launched as the Mali-D71 display processor! We can now reveal that the brand-new architecture on which it was built is named ‘Komeda’, and provides the framework for incredible display technologies supporting the very latest and most complex use cases.

We talked a lot last time about the in depth technical innovations powering the massive gains compared to the previous generation and the technical changes in the architecture which allowed this. This time around then, we’re going to look at the specific performance improvements achieved, and what they enable for the end user.

So what’s new?
