- Qualcomm has announced the series of Snapdragon G games processors
- They are mainly markets for mobile games and in the cloud
- The most powerful alignment is capable of drawing to rays and 1440p at 144hz
Qualcomm has announced its new processors of the Snapdragon G series for the portable market.
Announced in an official blog post, the Snapdragon G series is composed of three different platforms: the Snapdragon G3 Gen 3, Snapdragon G2 Gen 2 and the Snapdragon G1 Gen 2.
The company states that its last chips are “designed with players in mind” to “offer a graphic performance sustained in hand and dedicated devices.” It promises “high fidelity graphics” with “incredible ergonomics” for those who want their mobile games at their best.
As the name conventions can avoid, it is said that the Snapdragon G3 Gen 3 is the most powerful of the alignment, made for the “most demanding multiplatform game titles”, while the Snapdragon G2 Gen 2 is marketed mainly for “cloud games in the main ecosystems.”
This is backed by the technical specifications of Snapdragon G3 Gen 3, which have an eight-core Kyro Kyro Kyro Kyro, Adreno A32 graphics (including the ray tracking functionality), Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3 and support for 1440p to 144Hz.
The Snapdragon G2 Gen 2 is equally powerful, with the same eight -core Qualcomm Kyro CPU, but presents 22 Adreno Graphics 22, with the same connectivity standards and output options.
Things only become more conventional when analyzing what the Snapdragon G1 gen 2
Similarly, it has weaker Adreno A12 graphics, and is only compatible with Full HD (1080p) to 120Hz with Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.1. It is sure to say that this could be the chip found in cloud games devices that do not require the same power level.
Some of its partners that run the new chips include Ayane, OnexSugar and Retroid Pocket, among others, since the hardware is mainly oriented to the performance of the Android games and the cloud instead of the native representation. However, given the main chip skill, that could change depending on who adopts silicon.
A step forward for mobile games hardware
Qualcomm has had great success during the last year since its Snapdragon X Elite line, promoting some of the best laptops and the best ultrabooks, famous for its agile performance and its long battery life compared to traditional alternatives X86. The company now seems in a position to face some of the largest rivals processors, such as the AMD Z1 and Z2 chips that you will find in some of the best playing computers.
We may not see a similar level of compatibility and performance with Windows or Stemos machines, but for what they are, the Snapdragon G series could be a viable alternative. Some laptops that hit the market have already impressed with the Snapdragon G3 gen 3 chip, such as the Ayane Pocket S2, which is said to raise Android games without the usual traps of getting hot (through PCMAG).
Just when Windows On ARM has evolved since it was launched and was iterated as the Big X86 Alternative, the Snapdragon G series could be what can push more hand players to the arms of the cloud -based machines and Android if the battery lives, exhibits and ergonomics can overcome what the PC can do by the hand of the current generation.
The competition is always a good thing, since it pushes companies to continue innovating and improving technology instead of stagnation, something that the portable scene has been in danger for years. Is the Snapdragon G series enough to scare AMD and Intel? It is not clear yet, but we have seen Qualcomm Muscle in its territory with its laptops, so why could they not be the next hand?
