Block Diagram

Matrox's Parhelia-512 GPU uses the Parhelia architecture and is made using a 150 nm production process at UMC. With a die size of 174 mm² and a transistor count of 80 million it is a small chip. Parhelia-512 supports DirectX 8.1. For GPU compute applications, OpenCL version N/A can be used. It features 4 pixel shaders and 4 vertex shaders, 16 texture mapping units and 4 ROPs. Due to the lack of unified shaders you will not be able to run recent games at all (which require unified shader/DX10+ support).
