Abstract
A graphics processing unit (GPU), configured to perform tile-based rendering using prefetched graphics data, includes a tiler configured to perform binning on a current frame and obtain a first binning bitstream of a first tile among a plurality of tiles of the current frame, a binning correlator configured to determine whether the first tile and a second tile of a previous frame are similar to each other by using the first binning bitstream and a second binning bitstream of the second tile, where the second tile has a same tile ID as the first tile, a prefetcher configured to prefetch second graphics data used to render the second tile by using the tile ID, when it is determined that the first tile and the second tile are similar to each other, and at least one processor configured to render the current frame using the prefetched second graphics data.
