The Snapdragon G1 is the most affordable of the three SoCs announced and is destined to be used on fanless handheld gaming devices. At the heart of this chip is an 8-core Kryo CPU, which works in tandem with the Adreno A11 GPU for graphics. It can drive 1080p displays with a max supported refresh rate of 60 Hz. Wireless support is limited to Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0. Qualcomm clarifies that these chips are not built for outright performance and focus more on ensuring lag-free connectivity and longer battery life. Devices that use these chips will mostly be used to stream PC and console games.
Slightly up the price (and performance) ladder is the Qualcomm G2 chip, which also gets an 8-core Kryo CPU and a more powerful Adreno A21 GPU, which should ensure a sizable performance improvement over G-based systems. This SoC also adds faster connectivity options (Wi-Fi 6/6E) and optional 5G support enabled by the onboard Snapdragon X62 5G Modem-RF System. Qualcomm envisions Snapdragon G2-based systems will power mobile and cloud-gaming handhelds.
The Snapdragon G3 Gen 2, the most powerful among the three offers a 30% performance boost over its predecessor. It continues to be powered by an 8-core Kryo CPU, aided by the Adreno A32 GPU, which gives a 2x performance improvement. Built for enthusiast-grade handhelds, the Snapdragon G3 Gen 2 also offers Wi-Fi 7 and 5G support. It’s also capable of hardware-accelerated ray tracing.
It is unclear how long it would be before the first handhelds powered by these newly introduced chips would reach consumers’ hands.
