AI-generated Summary:

A new leak suggests the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, featuring an Adreno 830 GPU, will support frame interpolation, allowing games like Genshin Impact to run at 1080p 120 FPS. Frame interpolation, similar to Nvidia's DLSS and AMD's FSR, increases framerates by adding artificial frames but can cause input lag and visual artifacts. This feature might also be available on older Snapdragon models via firmware updates, potentially enabling AAA PC/console games on Android.

My take:

Fascinating that this feature could be supported on mobile, but I'm personally not convinced that there are many mobile gamers pushing the hardware. Most mobile gamers are very casual, and even Apple has trouble getting consumers to take AAA games on mobile seriously.

Yes, there aren't many intensive mobile games. But the games that push the hardware have a very large playerbase ie. Genshin impact, Fortnite. So for mobile games this will be a valuable feature if it is implemented well. This won't help with PC games on mobile because frame gen needs games to reach a certain FPS threshold before being useful. It can't make a 15 FPS game playable. All PC gaming on Android benchmarks I have seen focus on older games, not new AAA.

There are new AAA games on Android? I know there are a bunch of upcomming "PC emulator" Apps but that shouldn't count.
