Little else is known about the upcoming chip and considering how popular mobile gaming has become, it makes sense for Samsung to introduce an SoC with some dedicated gaming features to enhance the mobile gaming experience.
We already have Apple’s A15 Bionic chip powering the iPhone 13 (review) which is an extremely good chip for those looking to game on their smartphone.
MediaTek has announced the Dimensity 9000 while Qualcomm has announced the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. We can expect to see devices powered by the new MediaTek and Qualcomm Chips launching soon.
With devices like the Nintendo Switch cementing the demand for a dedicated portable gaming console, and Valve launching the Steam Deck, it's a no brainer that Qualcomm also showed off the Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 Gaming Platform to power dedicated portable gaming hardware. You can learn more about the Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 Gaming Platform here.
It will be interesting to see how the newly launched chips elevate the mobile gaming experience especially when you consider dedicated portable gaming devices like the Steam Deck and the upcoming successor to the Nintendo Switch.
