Pixels™, from rock groups to clothing, to pinpoints of light, they have been an intrinsic part of our life, vocabulary, and concept since the 1800s. Alas no longer may we use it with abandon, it is now the property of Google™. The term “Pixel™” can be found throughout our industry and many others. A “pixel™” is the smallest element of … Read more
The term Pixel is really quite old and very well defined.
San Jose based Pixelworks is announcing the i6 processor, its sixth generation mobile visual processor, and the first with low-power AI tech (built on the Company’s mobile display datasets). AI comes into place to adaptively optimize picture quality. The i6 processor, says the company, uses AI to intelligently upscale the dynamic range of video and gaming content while concurrently optimizing … Read more
After months of leaks, rumors, and speculation, Intel formally and officially released the details of its 11-generation processor, code-named Tiger Lake. The processor leverages Intel’s SuperFin 10 nm process and introduces Intel’s first integrated Iris Xe GPU claiming 2× the performance over the previous generation — 2× is a lot. The CPU and other processors as well as the communications … Read more

Varying FPS rates caution motion artifacts. The Pixelworks thinks they have a solution, which they are calling TrueCut Motion Grading—think of it as color grading but for motion.
Semiconductor Industry Association Moore’s observation about memory density doubling every one and a half years or so was in retrospect somewhat obvious. Nonetheless, it laid the foundation for futurists and forecasters to predict technological miracles that are still forthcoming. I remember Jensen Huang saying in the early days of Nvidia, “Moore’s Law is our friend.” He was right then, … Read more
(Source: EPFL) Ecole Polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)scientists, working in association with Canon, have developed a camera that can take 3D images with record-breaking speed and resolution. MegaX is extremely fast and can take up to 24,000 images per second. It also has three other important advantages: a very large dynamic range can produce 3D representations and can perform in-depth … Read more
Smartphones have held the high ground in acuity and PPI for a few years now, exceeding PCs and TVs by a factor of 1.5× or more, even as the screen size has increased. However, PPI is one part of the equation, dynamic range and tone mapping are another, and frame rate is yet another. In recent years, smartphone display technology—notably … Read more
