Core Logic releases integrated solution for 3D UI development


   
-  Increased processing speed and price competitiveness focusing on 3D graphics and adopting EDRAM
-  Greater power efficiency suitable for various mobile devices
-  New design tool maximizing convenience in UI development
-  Easy upgrade of 2D UI to 3D


Seoul, Korea - June 2, 2009 - Korea¡¯s leading fabless semiconductor manufacturer Core Logic (048870,
www.corelogic.co.kr) introduced today (June 2nd) its new integrated solution NuEye which runs 3D graphic based User Interface. NuEye allows easier UI development and design which has become a hot issue in the mobile phone and devices market.

Core Logic¡¯s NuEye focuses on performance and function in consideration of 3D UI development and user environment. This new chip supports 100 megapixels and can produce five million polygons per second. In addition, it is compatible perfectly with Open Gl-ES 1.1 which is the standard for mobile 3D engines. Processing speed and price competitiveness has been raised with the use of EDRAM (Embedded DRAM),  as adopting Powergating technology and the 65nm process enables Core Logic to achieve low-power design satisfying the power efficiency needs of the mobile devices market. Moreover, compressed texture functions increases memory usage efficiency, as well as Non-Power-of-2 texture which allows the reuse of existing UI images.

NuEye comes with NuEye Studio which is a design tool that enables easy production of 3D UI content on the chipset and the XML based NuEye Engine. Now, 2D graphic designers who are rather familiar with Flash or Photoshop can also easily develop 3D graphic UI. Especially, with NuEye Studio, complicated coding tasks can be eliminated and designers can check their UI design in real-time which helps reduce development time as well as production costs. In addition, NuEye Studio can convert 2D UI designs into 3D easily. This allows developers to expand their UI design scope and variety in types of UI.

¡°The development of User Interface that satisfies the tastes of consumers is an important issue in the mobile devices market. Core Logic¡¯s NuEye is an integrated solution that provides various tools to increase convenience in UI development. It has been designed to reduce production time and costs, and will satisfy the needs of customers in areas such as power efficiency. We expect it to gain great market attention,¡± said Core Logic CEO Kwang-Pyuk Suh in his statement regarding the launch of NuEye.
