Overview

The announcement describes a hardware stroke engine, a hardware ellipse engine, and a mesh-rendering architecture intended to lower on-chip SRAM use. It also describes DECNano 3.0 at a fixed 2:1 compression ratio, compatibility with VeriSilicon’s VGLite API, and support for LVGL, SVG, and PNG. VeriSilicon says several leading customers have adopted the core. That adoption statement was not rechecked against a customer list.

The English Vivante 2.5D GPU family page, reviewed the same day, puts GCNanoOptimaV in its own column. That column lists a hardware stroke engine, display resolution up to 720p, eight tessellation units, one pixel per cycle, the VGLite API, and embedded RTOS and Linux support. It lists up to 4K and sixteen tessellation units. Those XR figures are not recorded for this core. Silicon Platform as a Service remains the separate design-services listing.

Do not apply GCNanoOptimaV-XR resolution or tessellation figures to this core. SiPaaS is a design service, not this GPU.
