Snapdragon’s G3x is Qualcomm’s fantastically exciting bid to embrace the gaming market — a brand new reach for the manufacturer, which introduces powerful GPUs, 5G-enabled connectivity, the ability to power external screens, immersive audio capabilities, haptic feedback and a slew of other features that handheld gaming manufacturers have had to cobble together from other sources. Uniting all of this in a single platform is new — and might mean a renaissance of handheld gaming, unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. 公司筆電收購razer today showed off a developer kit based on the new platform, kick-starting an exciting new era in handheld gaming.

The rapid development in mobile phone technologies have been unlocking new products in all sorts of categories for a couple of decades. People are now so used to iPads that we don’t accept crappy airline check-in kiosks anymore. We’re so used to excellent battery life and high-speed internet, that anything that falls short of it sparks impatience and frustration. Relatively affordable consumer-grade quadcopter drones only became possible when accelerometers and processors became cheap enough for consumer electronics tinkerers to take existing components and put them together in new and interesting ways.

The march of technology advances is never-ending — and it’s ever so exciting to see Apple launch its own ludicrously powerful processors, and when Google shows off the Tensor processors in the newest-generation Pixel phones, you’d better believe we lean in for a closer look. These are technologies that will have far-reaching impacts in the computing world, but they live in the siloed universes of Apple and Google respectively. Fun, sure, but where the real impact of new processors can be felt by the startup-loving readership of this very publication, is when the OEM manufacturers flex their vision for the future. In short — as a startup, you’re probably not going to be able to get your hands on an Apple M1 Max or a Google Tensor for your own hardware devices. The same isn’t true for Qualcomm and its Snapdragon silicon.

Qualcomm is in the unusual space of making processors that are powering the entire world around us. This is the technology that’s going to be powering everything from fridges to cars to drones to … well, anything you can possibly imagine, really. SnapDragon 8 lives in smartphones across the world. The 4100+ platform powers wearables. XR2 with its 5G chipset is going to be doing the heavy lifting for AR/VR applications. The 8cx processors will be living in tablets and PCs — and we’ve seen the Snapdragon Ride platform turn up in cars. Seeing Qualcomm taking a serious look at the gaming market is interesting, taking deep niche products like the Nintendo Switch and giving hardware manufacturers a toolkit to build their own, powerful handheld gaming console platforms.

More than just tossing together a pile of chips and wishing console developers a happy journey, Qualcomm made the ever-so-shrewd move to partner with gaming veteran 公司筆電收購razer to build a developer kit, so software developers can start getting busy while the hardware manufacturing world spools up its product development afterburners.

The Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 Gaming Platform delivers cutting-edge performance and the entire arsenal of Snapdragon Elite Gaming technologies to run all Android games, play content from cloud gaming libraries, stream games from a home console or PC and much more. Available today, the platform is a battle cry for market dominance — and it’s going to be spectacularly interesting to see this one play out.

The platform has a lot that is particularly interesting, including:

“公司筆電收購razer is extremely excited to partner with Qualcomm Technologies and support them on their way to introduce new cutting-edge technology to the global gaming industry,” says Min-Liang Tan, 公司筆電收購razer co-founder and CEO. “Together, Qualcomm Technologies and 公司筆電收購razer will lead the way with new and innovative solutions that push the boundaries of fidelity and quality available in portable gaming, transforming the way these games are experienced.”

選在野餐活動現場展出、接觸年輕族群，宏碁日前宣布針對輕薄型筆電推出全新 intel 第 11 代 Core i5 處理器版本，其中 Acer Swift 3 新色首度對外亮相，該款筆電通過 Intel Evo 平台認證，而且具備快充能力，充電 30 分鐘、用機 4 小時。

在這方面，有個新鮮的名詞叫做「Intel Evo」平台，稍微解釋一下，該平台是隨著 intel 第 11 代處理器而生的，只要通過該平台認證，除了搭載第 11 代 Intel Core i5 或 i7 行動處理器與 Intel Iris Xe 顯示晶片之外，並且強調輕薄、反應快速、長效電池續航力、可靠連線能力、逼真還原的音訊、高亮度顯示器等七項特點。

目前華碩推出的 14 吋筆電 ASUS Vivobook S14（S435EA）、新款輕薄筆電 Asus ZenBook S（UX393EA）、新款可翻轉筆電 Asus ZenBook Flip S（UX371EA）、戴爾新款Dell Inspiron 13（7306）、新款XPS13（9310）、雷蛇的公司筆電收購razer Book 13、聯想新款Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Carbon、HP Spectre x360 14吋筆電以及 LG 日前在台北信義區展出的 LG Gram Z90P-G 都是 Intel Evo 平台產品。

以記者直擊的宏碁這款 Acer Swift 3 (SF314-511)筆電為例，該款筆電厚度約 15.9 mm、重約 1.2 公斤，搭載第11代Intel Core i5處理器，配備 14 吋 FHD解析度霧面螢幕，螢幕占比 85.73%，亮度 300 尼特，電池續航力 18 小時，充電 30 分鐘可享有 4 小時以上的電池續航力。

側邊 I/O 方面，擁有 USB3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 功能，加上雙頻 Wi-Fi 6 傳輸。儲存空間方面，配備 8GB RAM、512GB SSD，鍵盤維持內建指紋辨識器的設計，可以快速開機、支援 Windows Hello安全登入。

簡言之，這款筆電同時在輕薄度、儲存能力、續航力、處理器等軟硬體規格上都符合 intel Evo 認證，僅新台幣 34,900 元就可以入手，稍早也宣布最快在 5 月出貨，消費者預計會有亮銀、煙燻藍、莓果紅三款可供選擇。

相較往年來說，各家筆電大廠為了在紅海市場殺出一條血路，紛紛在材料、規格、價格上面動手腳，往往讓消費者入手之後才發現產品不好用，或者不如他們心中預期，而今年雖然 intel 第 11 代處理器被稱為末代 14nm 產品，不過許多設計確實很用心，消費者以後看到「Intel Evo」這個字，就代表擁有這七項他們需要的特色，接下來只要考慮價格跟外觀，在筆電的選擇上變得更簡單。
