Delivers Premium Picture Quality Enabled by
120fps and 1.5K Resolution, and
Embraces Authentic Game Worlds Powered by End-to-End IRX Gaming
Experience
SHANGHAI, Jan. 4, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PXLW), a leading provider
of visual processing solutions, today announced the newly launched
OnePlus Ace 3 smartphone incorporates the Pixelworks X7 Gen 2
visual processor. With the adoption of neural network algorithms,
the visual processor's AI-based distributed computing architecture
delivers highly immersive gaming experiences featuring both 120fps
and 1.5K super resolution with low
power consumption. Also, the first to integrate Pixelworks'
AI-based High Efficiency Super-Resolution (HESR) technology, which
was developed on the Company's dedicated neural network, the X7 Gen
2 visual processor scales resolution through deep learning
techniques to achieve natural and clear picture quality. This
contributes to game characters featuring smoother lines and richer
details, increasing the perceived realism of games. Additionally,
Pixelworks also offers dedicated performance and image quality
tuning services for individual mobile games that are specifically
tailored to content characteristics from the game creators'
perspective, allowing end users to realize the smoothest, high
frame rate and end-to-end IRX gaming experience.
The OnePlus Ace 3 smartphone features the world's first
1.5K Oriental Screen and comes with
flagship-level specs including the Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2
mobile platform from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., LPDDR5X RAM and
UFS 4.0 storage. It also packs a 5,500mAh battery with 100W
charging, ranking the first among its direct competitors in terms
of battery life. As an all-rounder device, OnePlus Ace 3 is geared
up to bring the popularization of the flagship experience to
unprecedented heights. Moreover, it incorporates the Pixelworks X7
Gen 2 visual processor as a key component of OnePlus' Super Frame
Rate and Picture Quality Engine solution, which elevates the
overall gaming performance and picture quality of the
smartphone.
AI-Based Distributed Computing Architecture Delivers an
Extraordinary Gaming Experience with High Frame Rate of 120fps and
1.5K Resolution.
The OnePlus Ace 3 is the first smartphone to incorporate the X7
Gen 2 visual processor, bringing huge advances in frame rate,
picture quality, power consumption and computing power allocation,
which coupled with greatly enhanced rendering capabilities deliver
unparalleled gaming experiences at 120fps frame rate and
1.5K resolution. With the adoption of
Pixelworks' AI-based distributed computing architecture, the
incorporated ultra-low latency MotionEngine® technology
and Super-Resolution technology offload intensive image rendering
from the GPU. This allows the GPU to render at only 1/3 of the
frame rate and 1/4 of the resolution while still achieving 120fps
and 1.5K resolution on the
smartphone's display, enabling end users to enjoy immersive
high-frame-rate gaming with lower power consumption and device
temperature, as well as longer play time. The AI-based distributed
computing architecture has been adapted to various popular mobile
games, including Genshin Impact, QQ Speed, Game for Peace
and Moonlight Blade.
To ensure the authentic representation of colors in different
scenarios, the OnePlus Ace 3 smartphone also adopts Pixelworks'
multi-brightness color calibration solution, which compensates for
the color saturation in different color modes and lighting
conditions. This effectively guarantees that the colors displayed
on the screen under various color modes mirror what the human eye
sees in the real world. Leveraging the 3D LUT method, this
technology conducts advanced color calibration to comprehensibly
and precisely manage numerous display attributes, including hue,
saturation and brightness, making the color displayed on the screen
look as vivid as what the human eye detects in the '3D space'.
End-to-End IRX Gaming Experience Delivers Authentic Game
Visuals Combined with Optimal Display Performance.
Games are regarded as the combination of innovative technologies
and visual arts. Achieving the optimal balance between performance
and picture quality across different visual scenarios requires a
holistic approach and consideration of various dimensions,
including the computing capability of visual processor, rendering
capability of the end device as well as dedicated tunning efforts.
With the implementation of the end-to-end IRX image rendering
accelerating solution and IRX device certification, the OnePlus Ace
3 smartphone allows game creators to maximize the computing
capability of Pixelworks' visual processor and reproduce the
original artistic intent of game content to deliver stunning
visuals. Game players can enable the end-to-end IRX gaming
experience with one click in the game interface. Currently, users
can enjoy this immersive gaming experience on popular titles such
as Crystal of Atlan, One Piece Fighting Path and
Call of Duty: Mobile (Chinese version). The integration and
verification of additional popular mobile games are also
underway.
"Over the past year, the OnePlus Ace 2 smartphone has won the
hearts of many consumers with its impressive performance, and our
collaboration with Pixelworks has set a new industry benchmark in
terms of the gaming experience," said Louis
Li, President of OnePlus China. "This year, we continue our
partnership and innovation with Pixelworks on the OnePlus Ace 3
smartphone, by introducing the AI-based distributed computing
architecture of Pixelworks' X7 Gen 2 visual processor into our
new-generation Super Frame Rate and Picture Quality Engine
solution. Pixelworks and OnePlus worked together to explore how to
better allocate computing power so that various games can achieve a
seamless balance between picture quality and gaming performance. As
the mobile gaming ecosystem continues to mature, the end-to-end IRX
gaming experience will bring consumers a visual experience that
aligns more with the artistic intent of game creators. We believe
that the OnePlus Ace 3 smartphone, with its superior visual
performance, stunning display panel and robust battery life, will
usher in another new wave of mobile gaming experiences!"
"The OnePlus Ace 3 smartphone is the first high-performance
flagship from OnePlus in 2024," said Ting Xiong, President of
Pixelworks China. "Equipped with Pixelworks' X7 Gen 2 visual
processor, this smartphone is primed to provide users with a
