Newly Introduced Frame Generation Visualization Benchmark Boosts Gaming Optimization

SHANGHAI, April 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PXLW), a leading provider of visual processing solutions, today 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 today’s 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.

“Since inception, PerfDog has remained committed to advancing testing technologies for developers across industries.” said Wensheng Cao, founder of Tencent WeTest PerfDog. “In today’s world of rapid technology development, our collaboration with Pixelworks represents a convergence of technical excellence and AI-powered innovation. This cross-domain partnership not only establishes a new industry benchmark for performance but also paves the way for future data dimension expansion in our product ecosystem.”

Commenting on the joint development, Jun Fang, Vice President of Pixelworks and General Manager of Mobile Business Unit, stated, “We were thrilled to collaborate with PerfDog in exploring new gaming performance frontiers. Leveraging our more than two decades of visual processing expertise and early AI technology implementation across mobile and gaming scenarios, Pixelworks was proud to contribute to the joint development of the industry’s first Frame Generation index. This cooperation with PerfDog opens expanded opportunities for further gaming quality enhancements, and activates deeper data utilization to propel industry-wide performance ecosystems forward.”

Published

2 hours ago

May 3, 2026

SYDNEY, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today Booking.com released its 11th annual research report into consumer attitudes and understanding of the social and environmental impact of travel. With insights from 32,500 travellers across 35 markets globally, including 1,000 from Australia, this year’s research highlights a generational paradox.

While 83% of Australian travellers say that more sustainable travel is important to them, older generations demonstrate greater commitment through concrete actions, despite younger generations often expressing stronger sustainability intentions.

Older generations demonstrate greater commitment through concrete sustainable actions, with almost two–thirds of Boomers across Asia Pacific (63%) saying they will shop more at local, independent stores on their trips, three–quarters (75%) planning to reduce general waste, and 63% intending to reduce energy consumption, higher than Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z.However, younger travellers are leading in cultural and conservation management; more than a quarter of Gen Z (27%) and Millennials (26%) participated in a tour or activity that contributed to the health or conservation of the local ecosystem or wildlife.Extreme weather is actively reshaping travel choices. Nearly three-quarters of Australian travellers said they consider extreme weather risk when choosing both destination (72%), and timing (75%), and 27% reported having cancelled or changed trip plans in the past twelve months due to extreme weather or natural disaster.Australian travellers are shifting when and where they travel, seeking reliable climates and comfort. 43% say they plan to avoid overcrowded tourist destinations, 42% plan to travel outside of peak season, and 26% will seek out destinations with cooler temperatures.In 2025, travellers booked more than 100 million room nights on Booking.com at accommodation partners with a third-party sustainability certification, including at 363 third-party certified Australian properties.
