TIL hardware planes (the "dedicated hardware" you refer to?) != the GPU.
I presume these are inside the GPU die, though? Probably near the display controller logic?
- kllrnohj 7y agoWhether or not it's inside the GPU die would depend on if the display controller is part of the GPU die or not. On a mobile SoC everything tends to be on the one die anyway so... sure. On a discreet desktop GPU I have absolutely no idea. They might not even bother having one at all? The mobile ones though are pretty good, though. They can do like ~6 composition layers with alpha blending, cropping, rotation, and apply a color matrix for display calibration. All in the dedicated HWC silicon, GPU can be powered off (or doing something else like rendering a game)
