The Mali-T604 will bring support for DirectX, OpenCL, and will appear in an system-on-a-chip together with an ARM Cortex-A15 “Eagle” CPU. The idea behind the chip design is aimed at general purpose computing. We are looking at “up to 5x performance improvement over current Mali graphics processors” and that the “scalable, multicore Mali-T604 GPU raises the performance bar for visual computing in the consumer electronics space, including mobiles, tablets, DTVs and automotive infotainment.” This is of course all according to ARM.
We should be seeing the T604 architecture come to market by Samsung first. Samsung has used ARM designs in its platforms and its Hummingbird CPU, powered at 1 GHz, is an ARM-based chip that the company is using in its Galaxy S series smartphone and Galaxy Tab Android tablet.
