Leading Mobile Multimedia IC Developer Becomes First Korean Member in Benchmark Development Program

ESPOO, Finland -- Futuremark Corporation, the industry leading provider of system performance-analysis software and services for PCs, smartphones and a variety of handheld devices, today announced that MtekVision will be the first Korean based member of its handheld benchmark development program.

"We're very pleased to share the benefits of our handheld BDP with MtekVision, a Korean semiconductor company that is driving the future of multimedia on handheld and portable devices," said Petri Talala, Futuremark's Vice President of Mobile Business Unit. "With their recently announced OpenGL ES 1.1 compliant 3D graphics core, the 'Pitta-F10', Futuremark's 3D performance benchmarks will greatly benefit both the development process and the end users of devices that integrate MtekVision's new IP."

MtekVision delivers innovative IC solutions that offer high performance 3D graphics acceleration with low power consumption for mobile and portable devices. Mtekvision's Pitta-F10 IP core offering OpenGL ES 1.1 compliance and a projected 4 million polygon per second throughput at QVGA resolution will launch in late 2006. MtekVision has been providing 3D graphics accelerators and leading edge performance solutions for mobile phones, smart phones, PDAs, MP3 players and voice recorders since 1999, contributing ASIC design, system design, software and product design for over 200 consumer devices.
