![From Handhelds to Slots: Tungsten510 SMARC's Role in Gaming Evolution](https://d2g2p0i8cc2bmh.cloudfront.net/2024-07/Tungsten510%20Use%20Case%20Cover%20Image.png)
Use Case 1: Handheld Gaming Tablet
In today’s arcades and casinos, large, clunky machines are being replaced by smaller, more powerful handheld tablets that let users play anywhere within the venue premises without being confined to the physical location of machines. These handheld devices and gaming kiosks bring a portable experience while still bringing an exceptional clarity and detail. Building a handheld with the Tungsten510 SMARC as its core enables a powerful entertainment platform. Its Arm Mali-G57 MC2 GPU supports vibrant high-definition graphics, to give the user a visual experience that pull players into the game. For instance, blackjack, running on this module, showcases crisp, clear cards and a fluid, responsive interface that mimics the feel of a real casino game.
Beyond just the visuals, thanks to the Tungsten510 SMARC’s dual-core 2.0GHz Cortex-A78 and quad-core 2.0GHz Cortex-A55 processor, these gaming devices are only powerful, but also efficient, balancing performance with battery life. This means gamers can enjoy extended play sessions on handheld devices without compromising on speed or performance. With its dedicated AI Accelerator, the system enhances the gaming experience by not only adjusting difficulty levels, but also providing personalized recommendations for similar games, ensuring a unique tailored session that keeps players engaged and continuously exploring new gaming adventures. Coupled with support for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3, these devices offer a seamless connected experience, allowing for updates, downloads and online play with minimal latency. The Tungsten510 SMARC turns handheld gaming into portable powerhouses, delivering immersive gaming with smart, AI-driven features.
Use Case 2: Next-Generation Slot Machines
Have you ever been drawn to a slot machine, looking at its dazzling lights and sounds, and thought it needs more? The future of casino gaming is rapidly changing to draw in a bigger and broader set of audiences. To do this, these machines need to continue to become more vivid and engaging than current models. Picture yourself approaching a slot machine that doesn’t feature one, but two ultra-clear 4K screens. Thanks to the Tungsten510 SMARC Arm Mali-G57 MC2 GPU and its 4K video encoder and decoder, the top screen can show vibrant, dynamic visuals while on the lower screen, an interactive touchscreen invites you to dive into gameplay with tactile responses. This experience, powered by the high-performance MediaTek Genio 510 processor enables cutting-edge gameplay that shines over previous models. Similarly, it’s not only about the visuals, but the audio too. The Tungsten510’s Tensilica HiFi 5 Audio DSP helps bring this experience to life so that you can hear every coin clink, every reel spin, and engaging music alongside the digital gameplay.
But what truly distinguishes these next-generation slot machines is not just their current capabilities, but what they promise for the future. Built on the scalable, future-proof foundation of the SMARC standard, these machines can easily be upgraded. As gaming technology evolves, these machines can substitute their SMARC module with another, one utilizing the latest processor or wireless standards. If you're integrating the latest Ezurio SMARC SOM, we provide a trusted path forward for OEMS to easily keep their legacy products up to date and on the cutting edge.
