Powerful Display Capability and Meticulous
Visual Quality Enhancement Fully Capture the Best of Virtual and
Real Worlds
SHANGHAI, Aug. 28,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PXLW),
a leading provider of visual processing solutions, and realme, one
of the fastest growing smartphone brands, today announced the newly
launched realme GT5 smartphone incorporates the Pixelworks X7
visual processor. By leveraging Pixelworks' core technologies,
including advanced ultra-low latency MotionEngine®(MEMC)
technology, low power super-resolution and always-on HDR, the GT5
smartphone enhances picture quality in a more comprehensive manner
and provides more comfortable visual experiences for mobile gaming
and videos. Additionally, as the first realme smartphone to be
IRX certificated, the realme GT5 is uniquely primed to deliver
in-depth visual quality improvements for multiple popular games by
integrating both game content characteristics and device
performance capabilities, resulting in a more immersive and vivid
gaming experience for consumers.
Built on the Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 mobile platform from Qualcomm
Technologies, Inc., the realme GT5 smartphone offers up to 24GB of
RAM and 1TB of storage. The smartphone comes in two battery
variants, with one 4600mAh battery supporting 240W fast charging,
and the other 5240mAh variant offering 150W fast charging. The
device also features a 6.74-inch flat display with narrow bezels,
which supports a 144Hz refresh rate and 2160Hz PWM dimming. To
achieve true display excellence, the realme GT5 smartphone
incorporates Pixelworks X7 visual processor that optimizes the
picture quality for game and video content, unleashing the full
display potential of the screen to create exceptional visual
experiences for users.
Combination of High Frame Rate, High Resolution and High
Contrast Enhance Immersion for Mobile Gaming
Driven by advanced algorithms and innovative architecture,
Pixelworks' MotionEngine technology supports ultra-low latency
frame interpolation that can boost the frame rate of original
content to as high as 144fps for over 100 games – exceeding the
native frame rate of gaming content and maximizing the display
capability of the device's high refresh rate screen. Distributed
processing leveraging the Pixelworks X7 visual processor offloads
the GPU workload by reducing rendering pressure and lowers overall
system power consumption when MEMC mode is on, which in turn
prevents overheating of mobile devices. The low power
super-resolution function employs advanced algorithms to boost
content from low to 1.5K resolution
and generate graphics with clearer texture and richer details.
Additionally, always-on HDR technology improves the color
saturation and contrast of images, producing a more immersive and
authentic display to human eyes. Among the 100+ compatible game
titles, many allow gamers to enable MEMC, low power
super-resolution and always-on HDR modes simultaneously in order to
experience the original artistic intent of game creators; these
titles include Glory of the King, Game for Peace, Genshin
Impact, League of Legends, Cross Fire, QQ Speed, Sky: Children of
Light, and Moonlight Blade. In addition, Crystal of
Atlan, Total Football and One Piece Fighting
Path also integrate Pixelworks' Rendering Accelerator SDK.
Coupled with Pixelworks' X7 visual processor, the Rendering
Accelerator works as a bridge to boost low frame rate games to
higher frame rate up to 4x the original content and deliver the
optimized gaming on mobile devices.
Mainstream Video Apps Deliver Cinematic Visual Experience
Featuring Pixelworks' HFR and HDR Technology
In addition to elevating the frame rates of mobile games,
Pixelworks' MotionEngine technology boosts the content frame
rate in mainstream video Apps up to 120fps, which meaningfully
mitigates video judder resulting from frame rate mismatch between
the content and the display, thus providing increased visual
smoothness and stability. Based on low-power AI display functions,
always-on HDR technology also utilizes scene detection to
intelligently adjust display parameters under a variety of lighting
conditions, resulting in the optimal HDR quality of each frame
together with increased eye comfort. These technologies have been
adapted for compatibility with several video Apps, including
Tencent Video, iQIYI, YOUKU, YouTube
and Netflix.
Multi-Brightness Color Calibration Enables Display of More
Vivid Colors
This solution ensures the display's gamma value is always 2.2
(best standard tested by image and video processing professionals)
across different color modes to achieve the most life-like,
on-screen viewing experience for the human eyes. Pixelworks
technology adapts the gamma curve to compensate for brightness as
well as color saturation in real-time to guarantee the most
comfortable and true-to-life visual experience according to changes
in ambient light, whether dim or bright. In addition, Pixelworks'
visual processing technology leverages the 3D LUT method to conduct
advanced color calibration by comprehensively and precisely
managing numerous display attributes, including hue, saturation and
brightness, making the color displayed on the screen look as vivid
as what human eyes detect in the '3D space'.
"We are pleased to continue our cooperation with Pixelworks on
the realme GT5 smartphone." said Chase
Xu, Vice President of realme. "The spirit of 'Dare to Leap'
is the primary force that drives us to seek innovation and changes.
This mantra led the realme GT2 Explorer Master Edition to become
the first smartphone ever to incorporate Pixelworks' X7 visual
processor with many innovative features last year. Now, we have
upgraded the core configuration of the realme GT5 smartphone and
deepened our collaboration with the incorporated Pixelworks X7
visual processor, achieving even more mature and detailed picture
quality enhancement and performance tuning for a number of top
games. We hope this next-level performance will bring visual
experiences to consumers that they have never before imagined."
"Congratulations on the launch of the realme GT5 smartphone!"
said Ting Xiong, President of Pixelworks China. "As an emerging
brand favored by many young consumers, realme never stops outdoing
itself in terms of product performance, design, quality and
customer service. In addition to enabling 144hz high frame gaming
experiences for over 100 game titles, the realme GT5 smartphone
also strives for excellence in picture quality optimization and
creates transcending visual experiences by leveraging powerful
hardware capabilities. We hope that our cooperation continues to
deepen, and the integration of realme products and Pixelworks'
display technologies can yield more surprises that provide
consumers with more cinematic visual experiences."
