Pixelworks, PerfDog Partner for Mobile Game Performance Testing

Newly Introduced Frame Generation Visualization Benchmark Boosts Gaming Optimization

Pixelworks, Inc., a leading provider of visual processing solutions, announced its strategic collaboration with PerfDog, the performance testing tool of Tencent WeTest Quality Open Platform. Recent cooperation between the two parties included the joint development and groundbreaking introduction of the “Frame Generation” index, a multi-dimensional data framework for gaming performance evaluation. This new benchmarking index stands to redefine mobile game testing standards in the AI era. Coupled with its integration into the industry debut of PerfDog 11.1, the Frame Generation index seamlessly provides developers with richer and more precise testing data on smartphones equipped with Pixelworks’ hardware rendering accelerators.

Recognized for its excellent performance analysis capabilities across all platforms, including both Android and iOS, PerfDog continuously enhances App and gaming performance throughout the product optimization process. As part of the upgrade to its latest 11.1 version, the PerfDog technical team collaborated with Pixelworks to develop the Frame Generation. Leveraging Pixelworks’ rendering acceleration solution and AI capabilities, the Frame Generation compensates for frequently unavailable performance testing data while delivering professional guidance for gaming performance optimization.

In the current era of rapid development of mobile games, high frame rates have become pivotal for both developers and players. Smartphone manufacturers also seek to enhance the end user experience by increasing the frame rate of mobile games utilizing various approaches, the most effective of which is by incorporating a dedicated hardware rendering accelerator. However, due to technical challenges associated with accurately and consistently measuring game performance with rendering acceleration activated, traditional mobile game performance testing is typically conducted based purely on the average frame rate and frame stability of a game. As a result, a majority of existing testing standards prevent the industry from benefiting from a more precise and complete optimization of mobile gaming performance.

To address this industry challenge, Pixelworks and PerfDog closely focused on the developer requirements and collaborated to introduce the industry’s first hardware-accelerated frame rate evaluation standard. As a result, PerfDog 11.1 enables real-time visualization of post-acceleration frame rate data generated utilizing Pixelworks’ rendering solutions. For developers and OEMs, these insights streamline standard performance optimization by precisely identifying rendering bottlenecks. For game players and reviewers, this new index reliably measures and demonstrates system stability and visual smoothness, enabling intuitive performance assessment.
