The Thomson EF936x series is a type of Graphic Display Processor (GDP) by Thomson-EFCIS .[ 1] The chip could draw at 1 million pixels per second, which was relatively advanced for the time of its release (1982 or earlier).
There are various versions of the chip (EF9364 ,[ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6] [ 7] EF9365 ,[ 8] [ 9] [ 10] EF9366 ,[ 11] [ 12] [ 10] EF9367 ,[ 13] [ 14] [ 15] SFF96364 ,[ 16] [ 17] [ 18] EF9369 [ 19] [ 20] [ 21] ),[ 22] with slightly different capabilities.
In 1982 Commodore released a "High Resolution Graphics" board for the PET based on the EF9365 and EF9366 chips, allowing it to display 512 × 512 or 512 × 256 resolution graphics.[ 23] [ 24] [ 25] The EF9366 was also used on the SMP-E353 graphic card for the Siemens SICOMP [de ] computer series and on the NDR-Klein-Computer introduced in 1984.[ 26]
Version EF9369 was used on computers such as the Thomson MO5NR [ 27] , MO6 [ 28] , TO8 ,[ 29] TO9 [ 30] and TO9+ ,[ 31] and from 1985 to 1989 on the DAI Personal Computer .
