In the past few days, there is a domestic mobile phone on the Internet that is quite hot, he is OnePlus Ace3 Pro, the biggest feature of the machine is that it supports the game native120 frames, the official claims that this is the only Android phone that supports this technology at present, and this is indeed the case, since OnePlus has a good effect, other manufacturers will naturally not let go of similar technology, but it is impossible to develop it by itself, so Qualcomm made a move, and there is breaking news that Qualcomm intends to launch its own GPU frame insertion technology on Snapdragon 8 Gen4, The mobile gaming experience will be significantly upgraded based on this.
In fact, just from the name, frame insertion is not a new technology, now many mobile phones support, that is, through independent display chips to make up for the lack of frame rate, to improve the smoothness of the picture can indeed play a certain role, but the shortcomings are also real, because the workload of picture rendering is increased, the power consumption of the device also increases, the heating will become more serious and fast, if the hardware performance is a little lower, it will cause Caton, and there will be a delay in operation, so whether to support frame insertion, Some mobile phone manufacturers are still more cautious.
But if the native high frame rate is different, there is no need to increase the burden of GPU rendering, basically it can achieve 0 latency, and the experience will be much better, so OnePlus Ace 3 Pro supports native 120 frames to attract so many people's attention, and Qualcomm as a chip supplier, if it can solve the problem from the source, it can save mobile phone manufacturers a lot of trouble, of course, this is not to encourage mobile phone manufacturers not to develop themselves, but from a practical point of view, some technologies do not necessarily have to be self-developed, Moreover, it is impossible for a mobile phone to be completely self-developed, even the head manufacturers such as Samsung, Apple, and Huawei can't do it, and other sub-first-tier manufacturers can't do it.
This time, Qualcomm wants to launch the first GPU interpolation frame technology on the Snapdragon 8 Gen4, which is very different from the frame interpolation technology supported by many mobile phones, the most important difference is that the latency is greatly reduced, and the use experience is comparable to the native high frame rate, which is definitely a technical solution for Android mobile phone manufacturers, even if it is a game with high requirements for the mobile phone running load, it can also have high-definition image quality +120fps high frame performance.
And not only Snapdragon 8 Gen4 support, 8 Gen3 and 8s Gen3 also support, which means that Snapdragon chips have long supported this technology from the source, and the reason why it has not been released may be because the technology is immature or the relevant tests have not yet been completed, of course, there may also be chip marketing strategy considerations, which will add an important selling point to Snapdragon 8 Gen4, so that many mobile phone manufacturers can use it with more confidence.
It is estimated that after 8 Gen4 is exclusive for a period of time, and according to the hint of the whistleblower, this exclusive time may be relatively long, when to release the restrictions on 8 Gen3 and 8s Gen3, it really depends on Qualcomm's mood, as for 8 Gen2 and whether the earlier chips are also supported, the whistleblower did not have any explanation, I personally think it should not be supported, the biggest reason is estimated to be that the chip performance is not up to standard, and several head manufacturers have determined that they will be the first to use 8 Gen4, This means that the game performance of Android's top flagship will be greatly improved this year.
For users who like to play mobile games, this year's top flagships can indeed look forward to it.
