SCALE TO CLOUD-LEVEL PERFORMANCE WITH MULTI-CORE

B-Series GPUs can scale with multi-core to dual or quad-core configurations. BXT and BXM cores feature multi-primary full-core scaling, combining the power of all of the cores to deliver maximum single-app performance or optionally enabling the cores to run independent applications for greater flexibility. BXE cores offer primary-secondary scaling, an area-optimised solution that presents a single high-performance GPU.

FUNCTIONAL SAFETY

The B-Series includes the ISO 26262-capable BXS cores that can deliver functionally safe graphics and compute into automotive. BXS scales from small cores for mainstream infotainment units to multiple teraflops of compute for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and high-performance autonomy.

BXS GPUs include safety-specific features, such as Tile Region Protection to enable an easier transition to the next generation of functionally safe HMIs.

ADVANCED IMAGE COMPRESSION TECHNOLOGY

Advanced image compression solutions are available for B-Series GPUs that promote SoC efficiency without compromising on the graphics experiences of the end user. For our automotive XS-family cores these solutions include end-to-end CRC-based data integrity protection for the render target data flow.
