Imagination Partners Drive Mobile and Embedded Graphics to New Level

Series5XT SGX543MP and SGX544MP Powered SoCs Debuting; First Device Announced With Next Generation POWERVR(TM) Series6 Graphics

MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS - BARCELONA, Spain, February 15, 2011 - Imagination Technologies, a leading multimedia and communications
technologies company, is enabling mobile and embedded graphics performance to
reach new levels with high performance single and multiprocessor POWERVR SGX
solutions now appearing in the latest generation of SoCs. Next-generation
POWERVR technology, codenamed 'Rogue', is in advanced development and is
already licensed by multiple tier one lead partners.

Imagination CEO Hossein Yassaie says: "Having evaluated the options the
overall mobile and embedded market is increasingly committing to POWERVR as
the de facto graphics standard, a fact reflected by the growing commitment of
the primary players to our roadmap. POWERVR has established itself across
smartphones, tablets, mobile computing and games consoles, attracting an
extensive community of POWERVR developers and powering iconic and much-loved
products."

POWERVR delivers not only a clear technology advantage and exceptional
roadmap, driven by one of the largest teams of graphics engineers in the
world, but also an extensive ecosystem of third party developers which has
created hundreds of thousands of apps optimised for POWERVR enabled devices
to date.

Chips based on Imagination's POWERVR Series5XT MP (multi-processor)
graphics cores will be demonstrated at MWC 2011 by Renesas and have been
announced by Sony as part of the forthcoming NGP handheld games console and
Texas Instruments as part of the recently announced OMAP5 family of devices.

Says Jon Peddie, Jon Peddie Research: "Imagination is at the top of their
game. The company has been expanding through acquisitions, capturing new
customers, and developing new technology. And significantly, what is good for
Imagination is good for the industry as a whole, pushing devices to new
levels of graphics and multimedia capability and allowing applications, tools
and cross-platform consistency to thrive and innovate."

POWERVR Series5XT arrives in products

More than 10 SoCs utilizing Imagination's latest multi-processor POWERVR
SGX MP cores are currently in design or in silicon.

Texas Instruments' OMAP5430 and OMAP5432 use multi-core POWERVR SGX544MP
graphics accelerators to drive 3D gaming and 3D user interfaces.

Renesas SH-Mobile APE5R features Imagination Technologies' POWERVR
SGX543MP graphics.

Sony Computer Entertainment's next generation portable entertainment
system (codename: NGP) features SGX543MP4 graphics acceleration.

Clock for clock POWERVRVR SGX, which has been shipping in significant
volume for several years, outperforms competitive solutions, many of which
have yet to ship in any volume. SGX MP opens up a wider performance gap
reinforcing POWERVR as the market leader for performance per mm2 and
performance per mW.

Imagination's unique and extensively patented Tile-Based Deferred
Rendering (TBDR) architecture for graphics, together with use of advanced
architectural techniques such as hardware multi-threading and substantial
investment in production-ready drivers across all mobile and embedded
operating systems has resulted in Imagination leading the market for
performance per mm2 and performance per mW for all of its on-chip multimedia
and communications solutions.

Next-generation in advanced development

Imagination's next generation POWERVR Series6 architecture, codenamed
'Rogue', has now being licensed by multiple lead partners. 'Rogue' delivers
unrivalled GFLOPS per mm2 and per mW for all APIs.

ST-Ericsson has announced that its new Nova application processors will
include Imagination's next-generation POWERVR Series6 'Rogue' architecture.

Series6 GPUs will be fully compatible with Series5 and Series5XT GPUs,
ensuring a smooth migration path for developers upgrading applications
optimized for Series5 to the new architecture.

POWERVR Series5XT GPU IP cores are available for licensing for all
partners now; POWERVR Series6 is being licensed to lead partners at this
time.

Multiple other strategic partners have also licensed POWERVR Series5XT
and Series6 cores and will be disclosed when they are ready to do so.
