The new chip supports 4.3K spatial computing at 90 frames per second, offering improved graphics processing for more realistic and detailed mixed reality (MR) and virtual reality (VR) environments. In comparison to the previous generation chip, the Plus variant features a higher frequency graphics processing unit (GPU) that provides enhanced XR experiences.
According to Qualcomm, the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen2 boasts a 15% higher GPU frequency and a 20% higher CPU frequency compared to the non-plus version.
