Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Rumored To Support ‘GPU Interpolation Technology,’ Hinting At Frame Generation Arriving To The SoC, Boosting Gaming Performance
Frame Generation technology arrived exclusively with NVIDIA’s RTX 4000 series of GPUs, and shortly after, AMD introduced its own version. Now, it appears that the same technology could be supported by mobile chipsets, starting with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, with one tipster claiming that the Adreno 830 GPU will arrive with interpolation technology. Assuming the rumor is true, it will put the upcoming SoC in a whole new league above the competition, with even Apple’s A18 and A18 Pro possibly failing to one-up its rival.

Top-end flagships sporting the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 are rumored to be incredibly expensive, but Digital Chat Station includes another reason why the price might be worth it. In his latest post on Weibo, the tipster mentions that the Adreno 830 GPU will support interpolation technology, which is just another fancy word for Frame Generation. For those who do not know, this feature increases a game’s performance by adding artificial frames, giving the impression that users are experiencing higher framerates on their devices.

Unfortunately, implementing Frame Generation in games has some drawbacks, including increased input lag and visual shimmering, both of which can ultimately ruin the experience. However, the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima can be played with NVIDIA’s DLSS upscaling and AMD’s FSR 3 Frame Generation enabled simultaneously, and without the dreaded input lag, so there is some positivity, assuming the developers are willing to put in the effort.
Additionally, the tipster mentions that Frame Generation will trickle down to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, giving users the opportunity to experience higher gaming performance on
