Being fully programmable and with their massive parallelism, the 96 cores of StemCell Mediaprocessors can easily handle the onerous computational requirements of this new CODEC and support higher resolutions that are beyond today's display systems.
By doubling the number of StemCell Mediaprocessors compared to the previous ZMS-20, the ZMS-40 delivers twice the peak media performance, while running the larger array at lower clock speeds to achieve the same performance leads to greater energy efficiency and a reduction in power consumption of up to 50 percent.
