Thanks for another great deep dive! The history of the Mali GPUs and how ARM came to having a GPU department and developing low-power GPU IP for mobile devices is fascinating all in itself. It started with ARM's acquisition of Falanx, located in Trondheim, Norway. Hence all those names from Norse mythology for the various generations.
It's IMHO really impressive that, at least in the smartphone space, current generation fully featured Malis (Immortalis) are very competitive with Qualcomm's current gen Adreno GPUs.
