SHANGHAI, January 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PXLW), a leading provider of visual processing solutions, announced today that the globally launched OnePlus 12 utilizes the independent Pixelworks X7 visual processor to deliver users an unparalleled IRX gaming experience. The Pixelworks IRX gaming experience is a new level of gaming experience that goes beyond the capabilities of traditional rendering solutions on mobile devices, offering smooth movements, high-quality visual effects, and maintaining proper temperature while gaming on a smartphone. Collaboration with OnePlus allows for an unprecedented level of rendering and visual quality, making the gaming experience on OnePlus 12 more realistic, engaging, and incredibly smooth.
OnePlus 12 is powered by the Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3 mobile platform from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. It features a 2K ProXDR display with a 120Hz refresh rate and can achieve a maximum brightness of 4,500 nits. In terms of gaming experiences, the utilization of Pixelworks MotionEngine® ultra-low latency motion technology, low-power super-resolution, and multi-plane color calibration provides OnePlus 12 users with smoother and more stable visual experiences, along with 120fps and exceptional clarity.
The distributed rendering architecture provides unparalleled smoothness at 120fps and excellent clarity at 2K super resolution. Through the use of Pixelworks’ distributed rendering architecture, MotionEngine® ultra-low latency motion technology, and super-resolution technology, the X7 visual processor offloads the GPU from intensive image rendering. As a result, the GPU can render at a lower frame rate and resolution, while the remaining calculations are handled by the Pixelworks processor, enabling content to be displayed at 120fps and 2K resolution. The result is an immersive gaming experience with high refresh rates and precise details, while reducing power consumption and device temperature, and extending gameplay time. The efficient utilization of this distributed rendering architecture is applicable to popular mobile games such as King of Glory, Game for Peace, League of Legends, Genshin Impact, QQ Speed, and Crossfire.
To ensure authentic color representation in various viewing scenes, OnePlus 12 also utilizes Pixelworks’ multi-plane color calibration technology, which compensates for color saturation in different color modes and lighting conditions. By utilizing the 3D LUT method, this technology enables advanced color calibration to precisely manage different display characteristics such as hue, saturation, and brightness, making the color displayed on the screen look as vibrant as what the human eye sees in reality.
The IRX Gaming Experience is the art of balancing performance, power consumption, and image quality in smartphone gaming. Games are seen as a combination of innovative technologies and visual art. Achieving an optimal balance between performance, power consumption, and image quality in different visual scenes requires a multidimensional approach and dedicated efforts in calibration. Unlike traditional mobile solutions that solely rely on the rendering capabilities of the application processor, Pixelworks introduces the innovative and easily integrated IRX rendering acceleration solution. In addition to offloading image rendering from the application processor, it leverages advanced rendering capabilities and image quality optimization expertise built into the Pixelworks X7 visual processor, enabling OnePlus 12 to deliver immersive gaming experiences with ultra-high frame rates, exceptional image quality, and relatively low system power consumption. Users have the opportunity to enjoy this artistic balance of performance, power consumption, and image quality provided by the Pixelworks IRX gaming experience on an increasing number of top mobile games.
“We are pleased to collaborate with Pixelworks to introduce the independent X7 visual processor into OnePlus 12,” said Kinder Liu, CEO of OnePlus. “Celebrating OnePlus’ 10th anniversary, OnePlus 12 will be the flagship smartphone of the year, outstanding in every aspect. When it comes to gaming experience, immersion is a key factor in the ultimate user experience. That’s why we partnered with Pixelworks to bring distributed rendering architecture and IRX gaming experience to OnePlus 12. With its powerful rendering capabilities and smooth gaming experiences, we believe OnePlus 12 will impress the market with its unmatched performance and extraordinary image quality. We look forward to further enhancing the quality of mobile gaming with Pixelworks for our users.”
“Remaining true to the bold slogan of Never Settle, OnePlus consistently creates premium devices and software that deliver the highest level of usable experience,” said Ting Xiong, President of Pixelworks China. “We are thrilled to collaborate with OnePlus to provide users worldwide with fully immersive visualizations through best-in-class displays. As a certified IRX device, OnePlus 12 embodies the advantages of Pixelworks’ professional visual processing technologies, leading gaming performance on smartphones, and hardware-based visual quality calibration. We appreciate OnePlus’ openness to new technologies and solutions and its commitment to delivering the best comprehensive experience to users. We hope our two companies will continue to push the boundaries of visual experiences for consumers through innovative visual processing solutions and high-quality displays.”
