Building on its recent Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 platform, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. has unveiled the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chip architecture that delivers 4.3K spatial computing at 90 frames per second (fps) for more realistic mixed reality (MR) and virtual reality (VR) experiences. The single-chip architecture is designed to deliver crisper and more detailed visuals in thinner and more comfortable headsets.
In addition to the 4K resolution (4.3K × 4.3K per eye), the “+” platform delivers 15% higher GPU and 20% higher CPU frequency, compared to the previous generation, with faster frequency rates and less jitter for crisper visuals. It also supports 12 or more concurrent cameras and on-device AI to track the user’s head, hands, eyes and controllers for higher precision navigation. It also includes an upgraded Spectra ISP and 12-ms full color video see-through.
Like the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 platform, the + platform offers 2.5× higher GPU performance, up to 50% greater GPU power efficiency and an 8× improvement in AI performance. It also supports Wi-Fi 7, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 and 5.2 wireless connectivity. The Snapdragon XR2+ will power Samsung’s Galaxy and Google XR devices.
