Including 512 ALU cores, the GPU delivers up to 800GFLOPS (FP32) or 1.6TFLOPS (FP16) graphics and compute performance at 800MHz (16nm FinFET+). As an idea of how it stacks up against the competition, a Kepler-based GeForce GT 730M from NVIDIA delivers about 550 GFLOPS (FP32) at a comparable frequency.
Unique advantages of PowerVR GT7900 include a superior FP16 ALU and fillrate performance for low power computing at high resolution, support for OpenGL ES 3.1 + AEP (Android Extension Pack), including hardware tessellation (some competitors offer software-only support) and ASTC LDR and HDR texture compression standards, multi-domain hardware virtualisation at the GPU + CPU level (all competing solutions are CPU-only) supporting multiple operating systems running in parallel on a single platform.
Superior performance efficiency is complemented by PowerGearing: a mechanism that defines power islands which can be dynamically controlled to reduce thermal throttling.
