In January of this year, ARM announced that ST Microelectronics had licensed the ARM Mali-400 MP. Later in June, ARM announced compliance of the Mali-400 with OpenGL ES 2.0. Infact it is conformant with OpenGL ES 2.0 and OpenVG 1.0.
This video shows a Mali-200 (275Mhz), in action:
More videos are available at the ARM website.
The 400 should cope with HD resolution graphics with 4 cores. However, manufacturers like ST Microelectronics would be free to use less cores as the Mail-400 is configurable. Nonetheless, its an exciting time. With OpenVG and OpenGL ES, Mali offers the potential 3D and vector graphics on HD set top boxes in 2010.
