Smartphone Graphics to Rival PlayStation 4, Xbox One in 2017: ARM

Every year we see smartphone companies boast about the processing and graphics capabilities of their device. And rightly so - the modern smartphone is immensely powerful, and comparable to desktop PCs from just a few years ago. Whether it's gaming, or its affinity to mimic your desktop computer, we have come a long way. And in less than two years, it is claimed that the smartphone will have graphics as good as seen on Microsoft's Xbox One and the Sony's PlayStation 4 gaming consoles.

And the claims are being made by no-one but the people responsible for designing most of the processors and graphics chips we see in mobile devices - ARM Holdings. At the Casual Connect conference this week, Nizar Romdan, ARM Ecosystem Director boldly claimed that the chips from his company will generate graphics on par with Microsoft's and Sony's current-generation consoles.

"Mobile hardware is already powerful," Romdan told VentureBeat, pointing out that smartphone offerings today are already better than the kind of graphics the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 shipped with. "If you take today's high-end smartphone or tablet, the performance is already better than Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It's catching up quickly with Xbox One and PlayStation 4," Romdan said, adding that he expects this to happen by the end of 2017.
