Ahead of the Consumer Electronics Show starting today in Las Vegas, Qualcomm announced the latest-and-greatest in Extended Reality (XR) silicon platforms. The XR2+ Gen 2, which iterates on the recently announced XR2 Gen 2 platform, brings increased GPU performance compared to its predecessor along with more AI horsepower and support for a 4.3K x 4.3K per eye display rendered at 90 frames per second. Of note, and acknowledging that the full specs for the Apple Vision Pro have not been made public, this is being read as Qualcomm’s go at enabling competition in the high-end virtual and mixed reality market category.
