Announced in late September last yearNew Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor, and was first used in the Quest 3 virtual vision headset launched by Meta. Before the start of CES 2024, Qualcomm once again announced the launch of the new Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 processor, claiming that it can correspond to virtual vision with a resolution of up to 4.3K per eye, and Samsung and Google will be the first to introduce and apply this processor.
Compared to the previous generation's virtual vision with up to 3K resolution per eye, the new Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 processor significantly supports clearer virtual visuals and can be equipped with up to 12 camera lenses, up to 10 of which can be used for perspective, spatial positioning, and body tracking. It can also present full-color perspective images with a latency of less than 12 milliseconds.
In addition, the new Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 processor can also support 90fps stable picture display performance. At the same time, the CPU operating clock is increased by 20% compared to the previous generation, and the performance is increased by 50%. The GPU display operating clock is increased by 15%, and the display performance is increased by 2.5 times. It can also be placed in a lighter and thinner virtual vision headset.
The computing power of artificial intelligence has increased by 8 times, which is more conducive to the automatic generation of images and other content in virtual visual environments, or making the operation of virtual visual head-mounted devices more efficient in power consumption.
Qualcomm is currently collaborating with Samsung and Google on a new virtual vision application device, and has confirmed that it will use the new Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 processor, but the specific product release time will have to wait and see.
