Qualcomm and Gameloft Enter Into Strategic Relationship for HD Mobile Games
SAN FRANCISCO, March 1, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
- Collaboration to Offer Optimal Mobile Gaming Experience on Advanced
Hardware
Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) today announced it has signed an
agreement with Gameloft, an industry leader in developing and publishing
digital and online video games, to deliver an enhanced mobile gaming
experience for top Gameloft game titles, such as "SpiderMan Total Mayhem HD,"
"Real Football 2011 HD," "GT Racing: Motor Academy HD" and "Modern Combat 2:
Black Pegasus." As an industry leader in mobile processors for tablets and
smartphones, Qualcomm has collaborated with Gameloft to optimize Gameloft's
premier HD mobile games for Qualcomm's current and future generation
Snapdragon(R) processors, such as the MSM(R)8x55 and dual-core MSM8x60.
Gameloft has successfully worked with Qualcomm to leverage the Adreno(R)
GPU for games such as "Assassin's Creed Altair's Chronicles." With this new
agreement, Qualcomm and Gameloft will look to expand this relationship across
the growing Snapdragon family of processors to optimize Gameloft's premier
games for Android-based devices, starting with the above mentioned four
titles and potentially expanding to others over the course of the year.
Qualcomm's Snapdragon dual-core CPU processors include two asynchronous CPU
cores that will run at up to 1.5 GHz per core, embedded Adreno 220 GPU and
advanced multimedia capabilities, including a high performance DSP for
Dolby5.1, SRS and other surround sound technologies, Adobe(R) Flash 10
hardware acceleration, video accelerators for full HD 1080p encode and decode
and support to display the games on large screen TVs using standards
interfaces such as HDMI.
"We are pleased to be working closely with Gameloft to pre-optimize their
impressive portfolio of mobile games for Snapdragon processors," said Raj
Talluri, vice president of product management for Qualcomm. "The combination
of Snapdragon's dynamic Adreno GPU technology along with the game development
expertise of Gameloft will bring some of the most exciting game franchises to
tablets and smartphones this year."
"We are happy to work with Qualcomm to bring a great gaming experience to
tablets and smartphones powered by Snapdragon processors," said Baudouin
Corman, vice president of Gameloft Publishing Americas. "These powerful
devices also will help enable the development of immersive games such as
'Asphalt 6: Adrenaline HD,' 'N.O.V.A. - Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance' and
others. Gameloft is committed to delivering the best HD games to the Android
platform and we are pleased to work with Qualcomm to take it to the next
level."
