Davvero ottime notizie per il futuro di Qualcomm e delle GPU Adreno. Vi avevamo già parlato in un nostro editoriale/approfondimento di come, in questo 2013, le CPU Snapdragon siano decisamente avvantaggiate rispetto alla concorrenza rischiando addirittura di creare una vera e propria piattaforma di sviluppo solida su Android basata sull'Andreno 320. A riconfermare l'ottimo lavoro del chip maker Americano ci pensano gli sviluppatori di Unity 3D che al GDC 2013, confermano di aver lavorato per ottimizzare il proprio motore grafico su CPU Snapdragon con Adreno GPU. Dunque sarà molto più facile per gli sviluppatori adesso creare titoli multi piattaforma senza dover adattare in modo complesso il codice di un titolo da un'os ad un altro. Di seguito il comunicato completo:
Unity Technologies Collaborates With Qualcomm to Optimize Unity Development Platform for a Wide Variety of Qualcomm Snapdragon Processor-Based Devices
Unity Technologies to Also Make Available a Robust Portfolio of Exciting New Games Optimized For Certain Qualcomm Snapdragon Processor-Based Devices
SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- March 25, 2013 -- Unity Technologies, provider of the Unity multi-platform engine and development tools, and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM), announced today that Unity Technologies will be optimizing its multi-platform engine in the coming months in collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies. These modifications will help improve the performance of Unity-authored games and applications running on mobile devices powered by a wide variety of Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ processors from Qualcomm Technologies. As a result, developers will have a unique opportunity to create and deploy dynamic gaming experiences with high-end visuals on various Snapdragon processor-based devices. As part of this collaboration, Unity Technologies also will be making available enhanced and optimized mobile games for certain Snapdragon processor-based devices. Snapdragon users can look forward to new, Unity-based games later this year.
To date, Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, with integrated Adreno™ GPUs, can be found in more than 770 commercially available or announced products, with another 450 product designs in the pipeline. Available in a range of features and configurations, Qualcomm Snapdragon processors enable great gaming experiences across a large spectrum of devices, from entry-level smartphones to high-end smartphones and tablets. As a result, this collaboration will help empower Unity Technologies’ global community of more than 1.5 million registered developers to create better mobile gaming experiences with advanced graphics for many Snapdragon-based Android and Windows devices across the world.
“Qualcomm Technologies is passionate about mobile gaming, so we’re very excited to be working with an industry leader in game engine and tool technologies such as Unity Technologies, said Raj Talluri, senior vice-president of product management at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “This collaboration will allow the two companies to optimize the strength of Unity’s powerful rendering engine with the integrated OpenGL ES 3.0 compliant Adreno GPUs and high performance multi-core CPUs of the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. As a result, this will help bring exceptional gaming experiences to consumers.

Commenti
credo tu stia confondendo il mercato piccolo e stagnante (nostro) con quello enorme ed in espansione rapida (cina e altre nazioni emergenti come india e brasile), mtk nel 2012 ha venduto 110 milioni di smartphone e 400 milioni di feature phone.
aspetta gli hanno appena annunciati vedrai che qualche dispositivo uscirà fra poco poi per adesso di mediatek non ne vedo in giro a parte i cinafonini
la fascia alta, la fascia medio e bassa al momento sta andando saldamente in mano a mtk - snapdragon play e snapdragon 400/200 non sembrano riuscire a penetrare.
Sarebbe quasi un bene per android e per gli sviluppatori..
qualcomm potrebbe aggiudicarsi il monopolio sulla piattaforma android quest'anno.
