A new media report states that Samsung is working on a new software technology that will boost GPU performance on its smartphones. The technology has been registered with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (UIPO) under the name of Neuro Game Booster technology. While the patent registration hasn't mentioned how the technology works, it seems that Samsung will be relying on neural networks that Android and the next-generation chipsets will offer.
However, this isn't the first time such a kind of technology has come to our knowledge. In the past, Huawei came up with its GPU Turbo technology on select Huawei and Honor smartphones. Huawei's technology worked on a different principle, wherein the GPU stored the rendered frames in the cache memory for a while. The CPU would then re-use the pre-rendered frames to reduce the stress on the GPU and cut down on processing time. This was particularly helpful if the same scene is repeated in a particular game.
The GPU Turbo technology delivered higher frame rates in demanding games, making the overall gameplay experience smoother. In the case of Samsung's technology, it remains to be seen what kind of underlying technology is used to boost GPU performance. The next generation chips and modern software will let Samsung exploit artificial intelligence to possibly reduce the stress on the GPU and offer higher frame rates. The effects of the technology won't be evident on the high-end models, but midrange models could be able to benefit from the technology with less-powerful internals. As of now, it's now known whether Samsung will deliver this technology to its existing lineup of Galaxy smartphones. The flagship models such as the Note 9 and S9 have a high chance of getting the Neuro Game Booster Technology. However, the current crop of Galaxy A series and J series smartphones could highly benefit from such technology in place. It also remains to be seen whether the game boost technology will only be limited to its Exynos chips or trickle down to the models sporting Qualcomm chipsets.
