Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 Chip
Qualcomm’s latest computing chip, the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2, is poised to be integrated into the upcoming mixed and virtual reality headsets by industry giants Samsung Electronics and Google. The cutting-edge chip is specifically designed to efficiently process data from up to twelve cameras seamlessly integrated within the headsets.
This announcement comes amidst heightened competition in the mixed-reality headset market, with Apple’s Vision Pro headset set to debut soon. TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts the imminent release of Apple’s Vision Pro headset, priced at $3,500 and featuring a custom-designed chip similar to some Apple laptops, potentially hitting the market later this month or in early February.
While Qualcomm collaborates with Google and Samsung on this venture, specific details about the products featuring the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chip have not been disclosed. This collaboration underscores a strategic move in positioning themselves within the dynamic landscape of mixed and virtual reality technologies.
