As the top chip supplier in the Android mobile phone camp, Qualcomm's new flagship mobile platform released every year has attracted the attention of many netizens. On December 1, Qualcomm announced a new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform at the Snapdragon Technology Summit, which once again triggered netizens' expectations for the new height of 5G mobile phones.
The "Snapdragon 8" mobile platform released this time still has another evolution in 5G communications, with built-in Qualcomm's 4th generation 5G modem Snapdragon X65, which has the ability to compatible with 5G signals in the millimeter wave and Sub-6GHz bands, can achieve network speeds of up to 10Gbps (10 Gigabit), and also supports the latest 3GPP R16 specification. Relying on the latest X65 modem, it is still called "a ride" in terms of network communication capabilities.
As for the performance and game performance that everyone is more concerned about, Snapdragon 8 is still worth reassuring, the performance of the CPU part is increased by 20%, the energy efficiency is increased by 30%; the GPU part, the graphics rendering speed of the new Adreno has been improved by 30% compared with the previous generation, and the energy efficiency has increased by 25%, and the performance is still in the first echelon of performance in terms of hardware itself.
Of course, in addition to the hardware upgrade, Snapdragon 8 also brings new Snapdragon Elite Gaming features, combined with a new generation of Adreno image motion engine, which can achieve twice the frame rate at nearly the same power consumption, and also supports variable resolution rendering advanced version (VRS Pro) and other terminal game-level features to create a more realistic picture rendering effect.
In addition, in terms of Snapdragon's always significant shooting capabilities, the Snapdragon 8 is also the first integrated 18-bit ISP for mobile devices, with the ability to process 3.2 billion pixels per second, and it can support 8K HDR video recording, 10bit shooting and HDR10+ shooting. With the blessing of these excellent image processing capabilities, I believe that Snapdragon 8 can help the flagship models of various manufacturers reach a new peak of imagery.
Ai performance is undoubtedly a very important, but often overlooked, piece of the process when it comes to optimizing the experience. In this regard, Snapdragon 8 has also upgraded the Qualcomm AI engine to the 7th generation, and the speed and shared memory of the tensor accelerator have also been doubled by the previous generation, which can better empower natural language learning, imaging, gaming, security and other aspects, in other words, Snapdragon 8 can become smarter and smoother.
Combining these highlights, Snapdragon 8 is undoubtedly still a mobile platform product worth looking forward to, and platform products such as Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3, Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 and Snapdragon 7c+ Gen 3 released at the same Snapdragon Technology Summit are also full of highlights, and it can be said that this Snapdragon Technology Summit is still full of surprises for us. It can be seen that Snapdragon continues to meet the expectations of users for advanced mobile technology, and what kind of surprise experience there will be in the future of products equipped with these mobile platforms, we may wish to look forward to it together.
