OnePlus Ace 3 Pro Equipped with Pixelworks Visual Processor Uplevels the Mobile Gaming Experience
Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PXLW), a leading provider of visual processing solutions, announced today the newly launched OnePlus Ace 3 Pro smartphone incorporates Pixelworks’ X7 Gen 2 visual processor. With the adoption of neural network algorithms, the visual processor’s AI-based distributed computing architecture offloads significant rendering pressure from the application processor, while enhancing the smartphone’s overall rendering capability and display quality. Notably, as OnePlus’ latest IRX-certified smartphone, the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro is primed to deliver an exceptional visual gaming experience for multiple IRX-certified games. The IRX rending acceleration ecosystem brings together the perspective of game content creators with the built-in advantages of the Pixelworks visual processor, resulting in superior allocation of rendering power as well as dedicated tuning for optimal visual display performance across different game scenarios.
The OnePlus Ace 3 Pro features the OnePlus’ newly unveiled Glacier Battery technology, which is specially designed for high performance smartphones. This advanced technology brings a unique paring of 6100mAh battery and 100W fast charging to the industry. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., OnePlus Ace 3 Pro has an overall AnTuTu score of 2,326,659 points. The smartphone not only possesses unparalleled battery life, but also boasts ace performance. In terms of gaming experience, the incorporated Pixelworks visual processor serves as a crucial element of OnePlus’ Super Frame Rate and Picture Quality Engine, continuously enhancing the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro’s rendering efficiency and display quality to deliver comprehensive optimization of gaming visuals and performance.
AI-based Distributed Rendering Architecture Intelligently Optimizes Allocation of Computing Power, Enabling Simultaneous 120fps and 1.5K Super Resolution
The Pixelworks X7 Gen 2 visual processor, featuring AI distributed rendering architecture, integrates ultra-low latency MotionEngine® technology and high efficiency AI-based super resolution. This allows the smartphone’s application processor to render at as low as 1/4 of the game’s frame rate and only 1/4 of the image resolution, while still achieving highly immersive visuals with content displayed at up to 120fps and 1.5K resolution. By optimizing the allocation of computing power, the solution delivers a cooler and longer gaming experience due to lower system power consumption. The ultra-low latency MotionEngine® technology enhances the frame rate of game content, effectively reducing screen jitter caused by mismatches between the native frame rate and the screen refresh rate, and improving the smoothness and stability of motion pictures. Built on Pixelworks’ internally developed efficient neural network engine, the AI-based super resolution technology intelligently scales the image resolution of games leveraging trained deep learning to achieve more natural and clear picture quality. This results in displayed character lines appearing smoother and with more complete details. Within a game assistant’s Super Frame Rate and Picture Quality interface, users can choose different optimization modes according to their preferences to enjoy a more immersive and lifelike gaming experience.
