New iPhone hardware, software a boon for gamers

The new iPhone 5S's performance upgrades and 64-bit processing chip will make the smartphone more responsive and faster. And mobile game developers are excited about the possibilities they see opening up with that newfound power.
Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president for marketing, said the new A7 chip has tested up to twice as fast as the iPhone 5's processor. It is also the first 64-bit chip in a smartphone -- an announcement that caused some developers to smile.

Perhaps it was no coincidence that during the Cupertino event on Tuesday, a mobile game was the first demonstration after the iPhone 5S was announced.
"Infinity Blade III," developed by ChAIR Entertainment and the final entry in the series, will launch on September 18 and was designed with the new A7 chip in mind.
Technical director Geremy Mustard said the new power in the iPhone 5S has allowed his team to craft the ultimate "Infinity Blade" experience.
"With the unmatched power of the iPhone 5S and its A7 chip, we can now combine full-screen rendering effects, tons of polygons, and advanced gameplay processing in one smooth package," he said. "And we are able to do all that with almost instantaneous load times, keeping gamers immersed in the experience instead of staring at a loading screen."
Creative director Donald Mustard believes mobile gaming will get another giant push forward with the phone's new technology, calling it "true next-gen gaming" on a device that fits in your pocket.
"The iPhone 5S allows us to have a huge, extremely detailed dragon spewing billowing flames that engulf the entire screen, while the hero, clad in armor that reflects the environment, swipes to defeat the beast," he explained.for more ..cnn(http://edition.cnn.com/2013/09/11/tech/gaming-gadgets/iphone-5s-gaming/index.html)
