In the first half of the year, Imagination signed more than 35 cross-domain license agreements, which covers automotive, data centers, mobile terminals, and DTVs, and more. Imagination has 37% share in the Smartphone Graphics Processing Unit (Corporate Reference Source: TSR), and is the largest GPU vendor in the automotive industry, with approximately 45% of the share and more than 1 billion vehicle shipments. Quarter.

Imagination determines the Data Center (DATACENTRE) and desktop market in the strategic assessment of last year, using its A Series and B-Series GPU products to get huge attraction in higher performance GPU fields. Force and bring considerable income and customer growth in the market. The company is expected to launch more GPU family C series in the fourth quarter of 2021 to maintain fast pace of technology development and launch.

In the automotive field, the company has grown into a leader in China's mainland market HMI (human machine interface) GPU solution, and China's mainland market has created a powerful growth opportunity channel for companies. The company has now entered the automatic driving of automobile segments with its GPU and AI technology.

This proves that in the past three years, we have done in research and development in research and development in the past three years. A large amount of investment has been rewarded. These investments enable us to embed the excellent new image compression technology into our GPU architecture, our GPU architecture has won the significant market share, we will revitalize the Imagination CPU development In order to address complex manufacturing, lifestyle and geopolitical transformation, the status of semiconductors is increasing, and Imagination has suggesting that companies have good technologies and is committed to establishing strategic partnerships, in the industry in the industry. "

RISC-V is an open instruction set architecture (ISA) managed by the RISC-V Foundation, and the RISC-V Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 2015. From the initial 29 members to the current more than 2,000. Unlike ARM, RISC-V does not require licensing expenses, which is a key reason for its rapid growth since its launch.
