MediaTek it is changing course and the flgship processors it is producing are aiming for quality. From Dimensity 1200 the Taiwanese giant has introduced the technology of the ray tracing. We will see below what is in detail. But having said that, it seems that the giant is aiming, thanks to the collaboration with two other companies, to introduce the functionality also on other devices. Let's go see the details of the news.
Smartphones with MediaTek processor, only on SoC Dimensity, will be able to enjoy the ray tracing functionality for video games: here is the partnership with AMD and Tencent
MediaTek, supported by ARM e Tencent, issued the first developer toolkit to bring RTX functionality to smartphones. It is expected that the brand's chips will soon also receive hardware support for the technology, which will take the quality of mobile graphics to a new level.
For the first time, MediaTek announced support for ray tracing in its chips in January 2021 by releasing the processor. Dimensity 1200 with the graphics accelerator Mali-G77 MC9. Developers already have a software tool for real-time ray tracing technology at their disposal. The chip maker said the partnership with ARM and Tencent Games will bring cutting-edge graphics technology to the Dimensity series of mobile platforms.
Geraint Norm, senior director of ecosystem and design at ARM, said
Future Mali GPUs will get significantly improved performance of ray tracing technology on mobile devices through hardware acceleration. The collaboration of the three companies in this area will make it easier for developers to explore the benefits of technology by ensuring that content can be ported to cross-platform devices in different ecosystems, dramatically improving gameplay.
MediaTek also added that it continues to engage in research and development in the field of graphics, expanding the capabilities of the proprietary engine. MediaTek HyperEngine. The company's goal is to help game developers and gadget makers deliver realistic game graphics to users. There exit date for the first mobile games with the RTX On switch has yet to be announced.
