Realtime Hardware Accelerated Ray Tracing on Snapdragon 8 Gen 2

Newly revealed at Snapdragon Summit 2022, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 features new graphics technology that will make mobile games look spectacular – it’s called Ray Tracing. 
 
Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is the first Snapdragon mobile platform to support Realtime Hardware Accelerated Ray Tracing.  Ray tracing on Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 aims to directly mimic the behavior of light in the real world, bringing life-like lighting effects, shadows, and illumination to your games. 
 
Our Snapdragon Studios team created this amazing graphics demo of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Adreno GPU rending  in Unreal Engine 5 with Ray Tracing – it’s all rendered in real-time on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 smartphone.

The real-time hardware-accelerated Ray Tracing pipeline in Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 has custom optimizations just for the Adreno GPU.  This delivers spectacular performance and also incredible battery life.  This is the first Ray Tracing GPU at sub-5 watts – so you can game and get all day battery life. 

Thanks to Ray Tracing in Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, mobile games will look even more spectacular. Smartphones and games with Ray Tracing will start to arrive in 2023.
