Industry insider Ice Universe claims Oppo is working on a new form of "gaming technology" that will enable it to squeeze more performance out of existing chips. Named 'Venom' the methodology behind how this technology will work isn't exactly clear but the purported performance gains sound very promising.
Venom allegedly has a likely chance of being present on the upcoming next iteration of OnePlus Ace, which is a pretty solid smartphone from 2022. How Venom works -- as far as I can understand -- is not really by making any changes to the hardware. Instead, it'll most likely be software improvements that reportedly make processors more energy efficient.
Obviously, being more energy efficient means being able to run longer and at higher clock speeds without overheating as much. Though this is currently being marketed to the gaming community it does bring attention to the fact that we need to start thinking smarter to keep making better processors.
