Expanded Frame Rate Capability and Enriched
Visual Effect Options Offer Compelling yet Affordable Visual
Quality Upgrades
SHANGHAI, Dec. 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ:
PXLW), a leading provider of visual processing solutions, announced
that the newly released iQOO Z9 Turbo L smartphone is equipped with
Pixelworks' X5 Turbo visual processor. The integration
solution provides targeted frame rate optimization for multiple
popular mobile games, extending the play time for
high-frame-rate gaming while utilizing lower power. Additionally,
the solution enables multiple gaming filter modes for display
enhancement, further enriching the visual experience for players.
The smartphone also supports high-frame-rate modes for several
video apps, which elevate the immersive video experience
for consumers.
Powered by the Snapdragon® 8s Gen 3 mobile platform
from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., the iQOO Z9 Turbo L features a
6,400mAh ultra-thin BlueCell battery with support for 80W fast
charging. In terms of display, the device sports a 6.78-inch
1.5K OLED screen with a refresh rate
of up to 144Hz. With the adoption of Pixelworks' X5 Turbo visual
processor featuring distributed rendering architecture, the
smartphone is able to better allocate processing resources to
deliver extended play time of high-frame-rate games, enriched
picture quality of low-frame-rate games and a more immersive video
experience.
Specific to the gaming experience, the smartphone supports both
frame rate improvement and power-saving modes. For games with high
native frame rate, the Pixelworks X5 Turbo visual processor reduces
unnecessary power consumption by offloading intensive rendering
from the GPU, contributing to extended play time while maintaining
optimal visual quality. For games with a lower native frame rate,
the X5 Turbo dynamically boosts displayed frame rate of games to
match the higher refresh rate capabilities of the smartphone's
display, enabling a smoother and more immersive experience at low
power. Further enriching the visual enjoyment for mobile gaming ,
Pixelworks' solution enables the smartphone with a variety of
gaming filter modes, including a set of seven general purpose
filter modes—customized, low-light enhancement, snow blindness
prevention, old retro, vivid, soft and bright —as well as dedicated
filter modes tailored to match the original artistic style for
specific mobile games. Users can select filters based on visual
preference to maximize the immersiveness of their gaming
experience.
With respect to video experience, the smartphone leverages the
Pixelworks visual processor's content-adaptive motion processing to
effectively reduce motion judder caused by the mismatch between
contents' native frame rate and the refresh rate of the display.
This ensures that even low-frame-rate video content is delivered
with excellent and stable visual quality on high refresh rate
displays. Currently, this feature supports video frame rate
interpolation from 24fps/25fps/30fps up to 60fps, and is compatible
with several popular video apps, including iQIYI, Tencent Video, Youku, and Bilibili.
"As a device with flagship performance targeting the mid-range
market, the iQOO Z9 Turbo L consistently strives for excellence in
both product strength and user experience," said Yaojing Yang,
Senior Director of Gaming Experience Planning Center, iQOO. "We are
pleased to continue our collaboration with Pixelworks in enhancing
the visual performance and user experience. By integrating the
Pixelworks X5 Turbo visual processor with a distributed rendering
architecture, the smartphone is able to fully utilize its rendering
capability to deliver smoother and more immersive gaming and video
experiences. We look forward to extending this high-quality visual
experience to a broader range of applications in the future,
allowing more consumers to enjoy high-value and performance
products that are competitively priced."
"Congratulations on the launch of the iQOO Z9 Turbo L
smartphone! Earlier this year, we collaborated with iQOO on the
iQOO Z9 Turbo, and we were impressed by iQOO's high standards of
product quality and emphasis on delivering superior user
experiences. The popularity of that model has validated iQOO's
unique market insight," said Ting Xiong, co-GM and President of
Sales and Marketing of Pixelworks China. "It's an honor to power
the iQOO Z9 Turbo L with our content-oriented visual optimization
solutions that enable a flagship-level gaming and video experience
at an affordable price. We look forward to deepening our
collaboration across future products and technology to bring
consumers even more groundbreaking visual experiences."
