Qualcomm has claimed that the brand-new Snapdragon G-series processors are designed to match the feature and performance requirements of specialized gaming devices.
According to Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.'s senior director of product management, Mithun Chandrasekhar, specialized handheld gaming devices are the ideal way to play mobile games.

The Platform features an eight-core Kryo Central Processing Unit (CPU) coupled with an Adreno A32 Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), which the firm claims will give over 30% better performance for CPU and up to 2x faster GPU performance than its predecessor.
