The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip will support a special gaming feature for the Samsung Galaxy S25 series

There's still quite a while before Samsung launches the Galaxy S25 series early next year. However, on forums and technology magazines around the world, there have been many rumors about the Korean giant's next flagship product series in the high-end smartphone segment.

There are rumors that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra could be the thinnest Ultra phone since the launch of the Note20 Ultra. In addition, some sources also confirmed that because the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor is expected to have a high price, Samsung is planning to launch the Galaxy S25 series using MediaTek processors in certain markets. optimize production costs.

Assuming this rumor is true, users in markets running MediaTek chips may be a little disappointed to know that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip is expected to support some special, specialized gaming features. on the Samsung Galaxy S25 series.

That is the revelation of famous technology blogger Digital Chat Station. Specifically, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor powering the Galaxy S25 series can bring AI gaming features to Samsung's flagship smartphone. In particular, Digital Chat Station specifically claims that Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 can support a feature similar to NVIDIA's DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), giving users a gaming experience with unprecedented graphics quality. ever had.

In theory, DLSS is a technology created by combining final rendered frames and intermediate buffers taken from the game's display system. The necessary data will be processed and prepared by the Graphics Card in advance, then entered into the training process on the NVIDIA Saturn V DGX supercomputer cluster. This process will accumulate frames, thereby creating a more perfect frame. Simply put, DLSS allows you to run games at sharper resolutions, with higher frame rates, automatically and for free.

Of course, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 graphics chip will not be able to support DLSS. But by using an AI-based image enhancement algorithm that works in a similar way, mobile gaming performance will be improved in many ways. Digital Chat Station claims that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor with 'GPU interpolation technology' could allow the Genshin Impact game to run at 1080p 120FPS. Currently, the Galaxy S24 is equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor that can run Genshin Impact at 60FPS.

Furthermore, the source further revealed that if the game quality is not up to standard, the AI ​​algorithm will directly intervene to make the graphics clearer and sharper by adding details that it believes are needed. Have. AI will also make graphics look smoother, which will enhance the overall gaming experience.

Samsung's custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 "For Galaxy" version could feature an even faster CPU and graphics, allowing for a smoother gaming experience. We also cannot rule out the possibility that PC-level AAA games can be played on high-end Android smartphones thanks to the power of AI.
