AMUSEMENT & ARCADES

The arcade and amusement market has proven itself to be a valuable early technology driver for the graphics industry. Early generations of POWERVR graphics technology targeted this market, and achieved a high level of success. The high-quality games developed for this industry in the late 1990s helped shape expectations for the much wider market for graphics technologies we see today. As a result, the latest fifth-generation POWERVR graphics technology is built on a long history of demanding and complex applications content.

POWERVR continues to power many arcade 'action' games today, as well as games of chance such as pachinko, video poker and video slot machines. Due to our strong history in this segment, we maintain a number of long-term partnerships with companies such as Sega Sammy, IGT and Aristocrat and their chip suppliers, as well as key content developers who have become members of the POWERVR Insider ecosystem and are now advocates of Imagination.
