Internal Graphics
The Apple A6X has integrated graphics, called iGPU for short. Specifically, the Apple A6X uses the PowerVR SGX554MP4 (4 Cores), which has 128 texture shaders and 16 execution units. The iGPU uses the system's main memory as graphics memory and sits on the processor's die.
A photo or video codec that is accelerated in hardware can greatly accelerate the working speed of a processor and extend the battery life of notebooks or smartphones when playing videos.
