Internal Graphics |
The MediaTek Helio P22 does not have integrated graphics. The Apple A6 has integrated graphics, called iGPU for short. Specifically, the Apple A6 uses the PowerVR SGX543MP3 (3 Cores), which has 48 texture shaders and 6 execution units. The iGPU uses the system's main memory as graphics memory and sits on the processor's die.
