References to a driver bundle that supports the next-generation POWERVR SGX543 GPU have been found in iOS 4.3 by MacRumors. Current iDevices use the POWERVR SGX535 GPU.
The new POWERVR SGX543 delivers real-world performance of 35 million polygons/sec and 1 Gpixels/sec fillrate at 200MHz, capable of driving HD screens with ultra smooth high definition 3D graphics. Even in a single-core solution POWERVR SGX543's performance is unprecedented in any GPU, demonstrating Imagination's pace of innovation and ability to drive the consumer experience in graphics to levels unheard of only a few years ago in anything less than high end specialist platforms.
MacRuors notes that the SGX543 also "offers support for the Apple-backed OpenCL specification that allows applications to harness untapped potential of both CPUs and GPUs for processing purposes."
