===Series4 (STMicro)=== PowerVR achieved great success in the mobile graphics market with its low power '''PowerVR MBX'''. MBX, and its SGX successors, were licensed a number of the top mobile semiconductor manufacturers in their mobile [[System on a chip|SoC]] chipsets, including [[Intel]], [[Texas Instruments]], [[Samsung]], [[NEC]], [[NXP Semiconductors]], [[Freescale]], [[Renesas]], [[SiRF]], [[Marvell Technology|Marvell]], and Sunplus.<ref>{{cite web |title=Imagination Technologies {{!}} Imagination Technologies Extends Its Lead In Mobile Graphics PowerVR SGX |url=https://www.realwire.com/releases/imagination-technologies-extends-its-lead-in-mobile-graphics-powervr-sgx |website=RealWire |access-date=4 May 2023 |date=10 February 2008}}</ref> These mobile chipsets with MBX IP in turn were used in several high-end cellphones and smartphones, including the original [[iPhone]] and [[iPod Touch]] (with Samsung S5L8900), [[Nokia N95]] and [[Motorola RIZR Z8]] (with TI [[OMAP]] 2420), and the [[Sony Ericsson]] [[Sony Ericsson P1|P1]] and [[Sony Ericsson M600|M600]] ([[Nexperia (processor)#Nexperia PNX4008 SoC|NXP Nexperia PNX4008]]). It was also used in some [[Personal digital assistant|PDA]]s such as the [[Axim X50 series|Dell Axim X50V]] and [[Dell Axim#X51 family|X51V]] featuring the [[Intel 2700G]] co-processor, as well as in set-top boxes featuring the MBX Lite-powered Intel CE 2110. There were two variants: MBX and MBX Lite. Both had the same feature set, where the MBX was optimized for speed and MBX Lite was optimized for low power consumption. The MBX could also be paired up with options to include either a full or lite [[Floating-point unit|FPU]], and/or full or lite VGP (Vector Graphics Processor). {|class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;" |- !rowspan=2|Model !rowspan=2|Year !rowspan=2|Die Size (mm<sup>2</sup>){{efn|name=fn1|Official Imgtec data}} !rowspan=2|Core config !colspan=2|[[Fillrate]] (@ 200 MHz) !rowspan=2|Bus width ([[bit]]) !colspan=2|[[Application Programming Interface|API]] (version) |- !MTriangles/s{{efn|name=fn1}} ![[Pixel|MPixel/s]]{{efn|name=fn1}} ![[DirectX]] ![[OpenGL]] |- |MBX Lite |Feb 2001 |4@130 nm? |0/1/1/1 |1.0 |100 |64 |7.0, VS 1.1 |1.1 |- |MBX |Feb 2001 |8@130 nm? |0/1/1/1 |1.68 |150 |64 |7.0, VS 1.1 |1.1 |}
