We look forward to extending our partnership with Qualcomm Technologies to redefine the smartphone experience and deliver cutting-edge technology to millions of users around the world.
Zaid AsgharVice President of Product Management at Qualcomm Technologies Inc, says:
We are excited to work with OPPO to bring an optimized ray tracing experience to mobile games says
He then continued, declaring:
The collaboration between Qualcomm Technologies and OPPO in this area allows game developers to take full advantage of the quality of desktop-grade ray tracing. To provide maximum visual fidelity, aliasing-free shadows, reflections in curved surfaces, and great overall lighting. To unlock a next level mobile gaming experience, in real time and with an optimal frame rate. The collaboration spans the entire rendering process and represents a significant step in advancing the mobile gaming ecosystem. We look forward to deepening our collaboration with OPPO to further explore all the possibilities for mobile innovation with the premium Snapdragon platforms.
OPPO and Qualcomm Technologies deliver advances in mobile graphics processing and AI through technology optimization
OPPO is the first smartphone maker to provide an open-source ray tracing solution for mobile devices. The company has partnered with Qualcomm Technologies to develop software enhancements based on the next generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform. These optimizations allow OPPO’s ray tracing technology to be applied to complex game scenes on mobile devices. Visitors to the Snapdragon Summit 2022 they were able to test the ray tracing technology live. Making OPPO the only smartphone manufacturer present at the Snapdragon Summit to show the use of this technology on devices equipped with the new processor.
On a device equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, in fact, with multiple ray tracing effects activated, the best mobile games can run at a constant speed of 60 FPS. While providing soft and realistic shadows and reflections for a very high visual quality of the game. Compared with the previous generation of software, the rendering efficiency of ray tracing has increased by a factor of 5 and reduced the CPU workload by 90%. These advances will enable the mobile gaming industry to move away from its reliance on software simulation for ray tracing effects. They will also allow you to bring advanced, ultra-realistic lighting into complex and large-scale game scenes.
Ray tracing
OPPO was the first smartphone maker to develop the technology ray tracing on mobile devices via software. Since 2020, OPPO has built an open ecosystem around this technology. It brings together creators, game developers and game software development platforms with PhysRay SDK (the first open-source ray tracing solution on mobile released by OPPO). To better meet the diverse needs of developers, OPPO has been continuously optimizing the program PhysRay. This has improved the compatibility between different hardware and software configurations. In fact, the open, cost-effective, adaptive and balanced ray tracing solution serves as an indispensable bridge between hardware and software in the implementation on mobile devices.
OPPO. Google e Qualcomm technologies
OPPO has also been working with Qualcomm Technologies and Google to improve the future capabilities of artificial intelligence on mobile devices. OPPO’s implementation made it possible to reduce by 27% the strength of the target detection algorithm (ATR) and the 40% computing latency. This is thanks to the optimizations of the artificial intelligence algorithms based on the specific characteristics of the chip. Together, these improvements will enable more energy-efficient and hardware-compatible AI models in less time.
Inspiration Ahead
Guided by the brand proposition “Inspiration Ahead“, OPPO collaborates with Qualcomm Technologies to bring more innovative technologies to mobile devices. The efforts of OPPO and Qualcomm Technologies in the field of ray tracing technology and artificial intelligence are part of a long-standing collaboration between the two companies. The flagship Snapdragon mobile platforms, for example, are featured in several OPPO smartphones. These have brought the 5G mobile experience to more users across the globe. Also, the flagship OPPO Find X5 Pro it was one of the first to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Delivering unprecedented experiences in connectivity, AI, gaming, video, audio and security. Previously, OPPO has released several other processor-equipped smartphones Snapdragon 5Gincluding the Find X3 series and the Reno6 series.
Thanks to its “Inspiration Ahead” brand proposition, OPPO will continue to collaborate openly with industry leaders. How Qualcomm Technologiesto provide ever better experiences to users around the world.
