Qualcomm has announced a new line of chips called Qualcomm Snapdragon G-series. These chips are designed for handheld game devices. The company has released three chips: Snapdragon G1 Gen 1, Snapdragon G2 Gen 1, and Snapdragon G3x Gen 2.
The company’s three new processors are made to work with different types of form factors and meet different game needs. They have different amounts of power and do different things.
The Qualcomm Kryo octa-core CPU and Areno A11 graphics chip make this the most basic model in the line. The company says it is made for handheld game devices without fans and is mostly meant to power devices for cloud streaming.
As of now, there is no information about when devices with these chips will hit the market. However, the company has said that AyaNeo, Thundercomm, and other brands are already working together to make handheld game devices with Snapdragon G-series platforms.
It has a Qualcomm Kryo octa-core CPU and a gaming-optimized Adreno A21 GPU, as well as a Snapdragon X62 5G Modem-RF System and Qualcomm FastConnect 6700 Mobile connection System for 5G and Wi-Fi 6/6E connection. This chip is between the G3x Gen 2 and the G1x Gen 1, and it is said to be able to handle full-featured mobile and cloud games.
This is the company’s best product, and it replaces the Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 chip that runs the Razer Edge 5G. It is said to have CPU performance that is 30 percent faster and GPU performance that is twice as fast as its predecessor. The Qualcomm Kryo CPU and Adreno A32 GPU are built into the chipset.
It also allows ray tracing that is sped up by the hardware, as well as game super-resolution and tethering for XR glasses. It works with premium Bluetooth music with low latency and the Snapdragon Sound Technology Suite. There is also 5G sub-6 and mWaveray tracking, as well as Wi-Fi 7 High-Band Simultaneous (HBS).
