Playtron has announced the release of its new operating system, Playstone OS, which is meant to work with SuiPlay’s game handheld⁴. This is a big deal for the gaming business. There was a meeting in Paris for the Web3 group called Sui Basecamp where this statement was made.
Playstone OS is the latest version of this work² and is the result of Playtron’s large investment in custom silicon. It has the best speed and energy economy in its class, and SuiPlay users will be able to get it later this year².
The Playstone OS brings together Playtron’s experience in silicon and SuiPlay’s game handheld². They give you instances that run up to 30% faster than the fastest general-purpose game handhelds on the market right now². They also work up to 50% faster and use up to 60% less power than similar small game devices from the current generation².
On newer game handhelds², Playtron has already started putting services like BigTable, Spanner, BigQuery, Blobstore, Pub/Sub, Google Earth Engine, and the YouTube Ads platform to use. These and other services are going to be added to and built up on SuiPlay soon².
The operating system that Playstone OS is based on is Linux². It makes a huge difference in how fast web and app servers, containerized apps, open-source databases, in-memory caches, data analytics engines, video processing, CPU-based AI training and inference, and other processes can do their jobs².
With the release of Playstone OS, Playtron joins the competitive field of custom hardware. Competitors Amazon and Microsoft² have already taken similar steps. Playtron says that SuiPlay users will be able to bring their current game workloads to SuiPlay without any changes² because Playstone OS is built on an open base.
Later this year², technical documents will be released. It will include information on testing and layout. Let’s wait for Playtron’s Playstone OS to be released to more people, but it’s already clear that AI is the way of the future for small game devices.
