Unlocking the Future of Mobile Visual
Processing with Ecosystem Solution based on Image Rendering
Accelerator and Distributed Computing Architecture
SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 19,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PXLW),
a leading provider of visual processing solutions, today hosted its
first Mobile Visual Computing and launch event in Shenzhen, China. The event focused on four
fundamental elements of visual performance for mobile devices:
technology, product, ecosystem and experience. At the event,
Pixelworks also unveiled its X7 Gen 2 visual processor, which is
uniquely designed for superior mobile gaming. Building on the
success of its X7 product, the Pixelworks X7 Gen 2 processor
continues the use of an innovative distributed computing
architecture that offloads intensive graphics rendering from the
GPU to enable highly immersive gaming and achieve PC-level visual
experiences on mobile devices.
AI-based super resolution dramatically improves image
rendering efficiency of mobile gaming.
The traditional approach to visual processing in mobile devices
relies solely on the application processor to deliver both graphics
rendering and other critical system-level processing. In mobile
gaming, this architecture limits the processing resources available
for improvements in picture quality and increases power
consumption.
Pixelworks' visual computing solution eliminates this
fundamental pain point through its distributed computing
architecture, while also utilizing innovative AI-base
Super-Resolution to boost both the frame rate and resolution of
gaming content. This results in an ultra-smooth mobile gaming
experience with excellent visual quality and optimal power
efficiency.
X7 Gen 2: a new milestone for Pixelworks' mobile gaming
solutions
The incorporation of Pixelworks' new self-developed, AI-based
Super-Resolution technology utilizes neural network algorithms,
which enables the X7 Gen 2 to scale picture quality up to
2K resolution. Ultra-Low Latency
MotionEngine® technology boosts the frame rate of games by up to
4x, delivering superior picture quality for lower-frame-rate games
and enhancing stable performance for high-frame-rate games.
Finally, an advanced picture quality engine further enhances the
color accuracy and details, contributing to a more stunning and
immersive HDR visual experiences for end users. With these combined
features, the X7 Gen 2 delivers a superior cinematic gaming
experience.

From rendering to display, Pixelworks' comprehensive image
rendering accelerator ensures reproduction of the original artistic
intent of game developers (studios).
For game developers, Pixelworks' proprietary Rendering
Accelerator SDK provides the ability to fully leverage the visual
processing algorithmic functions in the processor. This capability
facilitates seamless enhancement of visual quality throughout the
production-to-display lifecycle of mobile games. Pixelworks'
Rendering Accelerator SDK has already been integrated into numerous
mobile games, including One Piece Fighting Path, Crystal of
Atlan, Total Football, Persona 5: The Phantom X, and
Revelation Mobile. The Pixelworks image rendering
accelerator was designed to span the full gaming ecosystem – from
content to display – and this innovative solution continues to gain
widespread recognition among well-known game developers.
IRX gaming experience redefines the performance and picture
quality benchmarks for mobile gaming.
Specific to mobile gaming applications, end users not only
expect game developers and smartphone manufacturers to consistently
provide high picture quality, high-clarity and high-frame-rate
visuals, but also to meet certain performance requirements such as
moderated power consumption and low latency. Achieving all of these
attributes simultaneously requires strong rendering and
characteristic tuning capabilities for the display of games on
mobile devices. Delivering this performance forms the basis of
Pixelworks' IRX gaming experience brand. With the accumulated
technical expertise in image rendering and display technologies as
well as practices from specific tuning services with characteristic
of different games, the IRX brand represents high visual
performance and top-notch display quality for various types of
games on mobile devices. In addition, the IRX gaming experience
brand serves as the gateway that connects the Pixelworks ecosystem
with mobile gamers by promoting a standardized approach to easily
evaluate visual display performance and identify high-quality
mobile gaming experiences – helping consumers to make smarter
choices when purchasing a smartphone.
"As a game developer, the user's gaming experience is always our
top priority." said Dan Xu, Vice
President of Perfect World Games. "To ensure excellent visual
quality of heavy-load games on mobile devices, we have to overcome
the limitation of power consumption to deliver high-quality visual
experiences comparable to playing games on PCs, while minimizing
heat dissipation and the impact on battery life. This has been a
longstanding challenge and persistent pain point for us.
Traditional rendering methods limit the ability to improve the
picture quality of high-load mobile games. Therefore, we are
encouraged by Pixelworks' innovative solution that presents new
possibilities for overcoming the limits of legacy hardware
performance and picture quality for mobile gaming. We look forward
to continuing our cooperation with Pixelworks in the future and
bringing high-quality mobile gaming experiences to a broader array
of devices."
"It is a great pleasure to formally introduce Pixelworks' latest
visual computing solution." said Ting Xiong, President of
Pixelworks China. "The X7 Gen 2 is the latest result of the
Company's technology expertise and continuous R&D focusing on
mobile visual processing optimization. Our goal is to identify pain
points from customers and consumers, then use advanced algorithms
and low power SoC architectures to provide optimal solutions for
specific visual application use cases, empowering our customers to
deliver the best visual experience to consumers. This belief is
fully reflected in the distributed computing architecture and
AI-based Super-Resolution enabled by our new X7 Gen 2 visual
processor. We give game developers powerful rendering accelerator
features to optimize the visual display of games, which provides
consumers with the optimal high-quality visual performance inherent
of the IRX gaming experience."
