Abstract

The present invention relates to a graphics processor comprising a general graphics processor (30) for converting general graphics instructions into a sequence of primitive pixel oriented instructions, a queue memory (30) for storing said primitive pixel oriented instructions generated by said general graphics processor (30) in the order they are generated, and a primitive graphics processor (32) for reading and executing said primitive pixel oriented instructions in said queue memory (34) one after the other for generating pixels in an image buffer (18). <IMAGE>
