# On the model B beta boards, 128 MiB is allocated by default to the GPU.<ref> [http://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/oicyr/i_have_a_raspberry_pi_beta_board_ama/c3hj3n0 I have a raspberry pi beta board ama] </ref> The Nokia 701 also uses 128MiB for the Broadcom VideoCore IV.<ref> [http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/general-discussion/nokia-701-has-a-similar-broadcom-gpu Nokia 701 has a similar Broadcom gpu] </ref> The minimum amount of memory that can be allocated to the GPU is 32 MiB, but with a corresponding loss of multimedia performance, per page 6 of the datasheet.
# Level 2 Cache is 128 KiB, used primarily by the GPU, not the CPU, per page 6 of the datasheet.
# MPEG-4 decode, but not MPEG-2 (which is widely used for over-the-air TV broadcast). The GPU supports MPEG-2 decode, but the software to access it is not provided to save on licensing costs.
# OpenGL ES 2.0, but not OpenGL 2.0
