Huawei will deliver its GPU Turbo tech to older phones, from flagship to mid-range

13 June 2018
GPU Turbo promises a 60% boost in performance and a 30% reduction in power. It debuted with the Honor Play and Honor 9i.

Sort by:

Maybe, huawei boost up the GPU core by overclocking it. but this will drain the battery to much and made so much heat. lowering the resolution and "game mode" the device is much better solution but if the just do that, its not GPU Turbo hahaha

      If not a joke, those figures are probably achieved by a drop in quality and/or resolution... that's the only way I know one can chop off that much with a smooth summer update, like their smart resolution thing, but for games.

        60% performance up and 30% efficiency up? :DDD you really need to be so green to beleive it, nice try Huawei, did you learn it from Lienovo?

            Anonymous, 15 Jun 2018Undervolting can do just thatPfft, but not by large amounts like that. Huawei most likely messed up some code, resulting in massively reduced performance and now they are fixing their bug and marketing it as feature

                  i do hope this gets rolled out soon and hopefully, this is not some "fake" update that don't really boost performance in real life..

                      Cafe, 14 Jun 2018It is perfectly possible if you develop new drivers. You do... moreDrivers can give you a 5% boost, maybe 10% if they are great.

                      60% is just not possible unless your original drivers were the biggest crap of all crap to begin with.

                                    cyber, 14 Jun 2018not possible to boost performance and get lower power usage... moreSo how do modern engines produce more power and yet are more fuel efficient.

                                    It's not just about pushing the GPU to run faster, it's about making it more efficient in how it runs things. Same as how updating your graphics card drivers can increase performance.

                                      Hi
                                      How about nova 2 plus ?
                                      Can we get this update for nova 2 plus ?

                                        Yet another username, 14 Jun 2018Oh really? So why is my Huawei Mate 9 still on Android 7. 0... moreI think it is region specific as others have reported getting oreo Updates on that model. I also think that Hauwei will ship oreo along with this update, so look out out for it later this year.
