Patent ID: 7629982

Claim:
An integrated circuit comprising: a first-in-first-out memory to receive a first source data primitive covering at least one pixel including a first pixel; a frame buffer interface to read a first number of subsamples of the first pixel from an external graphics memory; a filter to receive the first number of subsamples of the first pixel and to filter the first number of subsamples of the first pixel to a second number of subsamples of the first pixel, the second number of subsamples less than the first number of subsamples; and a blender to receive the second number of subsamples of the first pixel and a second number of subsamples of the first source data primitive, and to blend the second number of subsamples of the first pixel with the second number of subsamples of the first source data primitive to generate a second number of updated subsamples, the frame buffer interface to further receive the second number of updated subsamples and store the second number of updated subsamples in the external graphics memory.
