OPPO's Fengchi Game Engine: Reshaping Mobile Gaming, Ushering in a New Era

In 2024, OPPO boasts over 600 million global active users, meaning one in ten people worldwide uses an OPPO device. To better serve this vast global user base, OPPO continuously invests in high-frequency user scenarios and has established a world-class R&D system. OPPO's Chief Product Officer, Liu Zuohu, stated that following advancements in imaging and AI, gaming experience will become another key area of investment, strategically positioned as a performance-focused direction. OPPO is committed to delivering the industry's best gaming experience. To achieve this, OPPO has established six game development centers, bringing together over 1,000 talented engineers focused solely on enhancing gaming experiences. These engineers maintain deep collaborations with top industry partners to drive advancements in gaming technology. OnePlus, OPPO's performance-focused brand, will globally debut OPPO's newest gaming technology, perfectly embodying the philosophy of "OPPO for gaming experience, and OnePlus showcasing OPPO's gaming experience."

After three years of dedicated research and development, OPPO has finally launched its chip-level gaming technology: the "Fengchi Game Engine." This groundbreaking technology will revolutionize the gaming experience, giving players a significant competitive advantage, almost like having a game "cheat" enabled. Fengchi Game Engine is OPPO's proprietary chip-level technology that completely restructures the Android underlying kernel. It precisely balances the chip's performance supply with the game's performance demands, resulting in significant performance and gaming experience upgrades.

The technological achievements are substantial. For the Android underlying kernel, Fengchi Game Engine provides over 25,000 lines of original code; for the game rendering pipeline reconstruction, it contributes over 34,000 lines of original code; and a total of 254 patents have been applied for based on the Fengchi Game Engine's cumulative game optimizations. This technology offers a bottom-up understanding of games from the chip perspective, recognizing game behavior from the chip's lower layers, achieving an unprecedented reduction in single-frame power consumption in the mobile gaming field.

Fengchi Game Engine maximizes the reduction of key task CPU instructions by 22.74%, significantly lowering CPU load and power consumption, and dramatically improving game performance. This means that under the same single-frame rendering instructions, Fengchi Game Engine's inherent load is far lower than industry standards. With Fengchi Game Engine, the single-frame power consumption of Honor of Kings is reduced by 6.74%, and the single-frame power consumption of Genshin Impact in the Fontaine exploration and battle scenes is reduced by 5.19%.

Furthermore, Fengchi Game Engine reconstructs the chip's GPU rendering pipeline, increasing GPU single-frame rendering efficiency by 80%. Based on the Fengchi Game Engine, OnePlus has created the industry's first native 120fps ultra-smooth experience. Compared to the commonly used independent display ultra-frame rate technology, OnePlus's native 120fps ultra-frame rate technology is fundamentally different: it's truly native 120fps, with no added latency. By deeply mining the accurately generated information of the game, it generates better frame effects, presenting more extreme visuals, and the 120fps is verifiable.

OPPO Game Center's head, Tan Hao, stated that the Fengchi Game Engine is a novel chip-level gaming technology, the industry's first chip kernel technology specifically designed for games. By completely restructuring the underlying chip kernel, it delivers a new level of CPU game performance release and achieves industry-leading sustained smooth experience. Through the reconstruction of the GPU rendering pipeline, it brings an unprecedented ultra-frame rate and ultra-visual experience. More importantly, we directly write the Fengchi Game Engine into the chip's underlying layer at the factory, truly achieving "maximum combat power" and sustained smoothness.

OnePlus and Qualcomm have maintained a close and deep cooperation in the field of gaming technology, continuously jointly optimizing performance, power consumption, image quality, and touch control to improve game frame rate stability and energy efficiency, bringing an unprecedented mobile gaming experience to players. Qualcomm's Product Technology Director, Yao Yifei, said: "With the release of the Fengchi Game Engine, we will work together to bring consumers a new gaming experience comparable to PC games and stunning visual effects. We will join hands to propel Android gaming into a new era.

As the designated mobile phone for the Peacekeeper Elite professional league, OnePlus and Peacekeeper Elite continuously strive to provide players with a better gaming experience. OnePlus's new Fengchi Game Engine supports Peacekeeper Elite's latest 120fps mode, ensuring smooth operation even under high game load, providing players with an extremely smooth experience. Tencent Interactive Entertainment Photon Studio's Huang Xinlong said: "We work closely with the OnePlus team. Relying on the Fengchi Game Engine technology, we will jointly create a more fluid and stable esports experience, bringing more possibilities to professional arenas and all players."

OnePlus places great importance on game engine development and was the first mobile phone manufacturer to engage in deep technical cooperation with the Unity game engine, fundamentally providing players with a stable and enjoyable gaming experience. Unity China's CEO, Zhang Junbo, stated: "OnePlus's newly released Fengchi Game Engine shows us a new future for gaming experiences. In the future, the Unity game engine will further interact with the Fengchi Game Engine to bring everyone a better experience."

The Fengchi Game Engine will be globally debuted on the OnePlus Ace 5 series, setting a new industry standard for mobile gaming and potentially delivering the strongest mobile gaming experience. The OnePlus Ace 5 Pro will have the Fengchi Game Engine factory-installed into the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2's underlying layer, setting a series of new records for gaming performance, reaching the peak of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2s capabilities. The OnePlus Ace 5 Pro will also globally debut "Genshin Impact" at 120fps and 1080p, with native ultra-frame rate and ultra-visual quality simultaneously enabled. The powerful performance of the OnePlus Ace 5 series goes far beyond this; stay tuned for more exciting details next week.
