<p>Apple's powerful iPhone 7 GPU is based on Imagination Technologies' PowerVR GT7600 architecture, and a possible successor could come next year.</p><p>Imagination will release the Series8XT family of GPUs, which could provide the underlying technology for graphics in the iPhone 8. It will succeed the Series7XT family of GPUs, which is the base architecture for the PowerVR GT7600 in the iPhone 7.</p><p>Analyst firm Linley Group said the iPhone 7 GPU is the fastest among all mobile processors when operating at peak speed. The Series8XT will be even faster, and perhaps more power efficient. The iPhone 7 GPU can overheat quickly if it runs at peak speed for a long time.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3150888/mobile/imagination-gpu-tech-next-year-could-power-apple-iphone-8-graphics.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
