Qualcomm Reveals Several New Snapdragon Gaming Chips
Qualcomm had a bit of a surprise for Gamescom 2023 as they revealed three new Snapdragon gaming chips to help with a ton of features.
During Gamescom 2023, Qualcomm revealed their follow-up to the Snapdragon G3x chip, as well as two other gaming platforms, all designed to be the first designs for their new Snapdragon dedicated gaming chips. Today we got a look at the Snapdragon G3x Gen 2, which is basically designed to help enhance your gaming experience with faster GPU performance, cross-platform options for mobile devices (whether that be iOS, Android, or one of the many gaming handhelds now on the market), easier cloud and remote gaming access, smoother livestreaming capabilities, ray tracing enhancements, and more. Along with two other models that, while slightly less powerful than the big one you see below, still deliver for devices of lower grades who can't handle the power of the G3x.
