VR meets AR in future 10nm chip

Qualcomm has introduced a brand new platform called Snapdragon XR1, dedicated to Extended reality (XR) at the Augmented World Expo (AWE). It already has several customers on board.

Qualcomm describes the XR1 platform as the next generation platform offering mainstream users high-quality XR experiences while letting OEMs develop mainstream devices. This platform is clearly sitting below the flagship Snapdragon 845, that remains the flagship XR choice for premium designs.

The XR1 platform also has special optimizations for Augmented Reality (AR) experiences with Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities offering better interactivity, power consumption and thermal efficiency. Customers like ODG will definitely be interested in something like that.

XR1 integrates heterogeneous compute architecture, including the Kryo ARM-based multicore Central Processing Unit (CPU), vector processor, Adreno Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and Qualcomm AI Engine. Other key features include an advanced XR software service layer, machine learning, the Snapdragon XR Software Development Kit (SDK) and Qualcomm Technologies connectivity and security technologies.
