Qualcomm's Snapdragon chip has always occupied a dominant position in the mobile phone industry, and the reason for this result is also very simple, and the performance advantage makes terminal manufacturers more convinced. The release of the new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform has further consolidated the status of Qualcomm Snapdragon chips, and the performance advantages of the new generation of chip upgrades are more obvious, so what is the performance of the upgrade? The first is to abandon the ARMV8 architecture used for many years, upgraded to the latest ARMV9 architecture, by 1 3.0Ghz cortex-X2 super core, 3 cortex-A710 large core, 4 cortex-A510 small core, CPU performance is 20% higher than the previous generation, GPU performance in the measured environment can reach more than 50%, the parameter configuration is directly full. Thanks to the maturity of technology, the power consumption of the new generation of Snapdragon 8 platform is also excellent, far lower than that of the previous generation.
However, this is still an appetizer, and the upgrade of technical ability outside the performance is a hard dish. The new generation of Snapdragon 8 platform lost the long-used 14-bit dual/triple ISP design, adopted a new 3 18-bit ISP designs, upgraded the ability to process photos to a staggering 4096 times, coupled with the blessing of the seventh-generation AI engine, so that ISP and AI integration is more perfect, so that the flagship model equipped with the new Snapdragon 8 has a higher level in image capabilities.
Many people can not understand the strength of 18bit ISP, compared to 14bit ISP, it has higher accuracy, can carry more data, the most perceptible point is that the color details are richer, the color transition is softer and smoother. At the same time, the wider the ISP bit, the greater the amount of data in a single parallel, and the image after AI fusion has a brighter effect. Let's put it this way! Traditional mobile phones can capture 6 photos and composite one when taking photos, so as to obtain a higher brightness of the film effect. The 18-bit ISP has a "super multi-frame engine", which has the processing power to capture 30 photos at a time to synthesize 1 photo, and the level of photos taken is higher.
It is worth mentioning that the 18bit ISP also supports 18bit RAW file export, which is for users who like to take pictures, under the more professional shooting ability, there is also a larger post-processing space, equipped with a new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform models, can become the first choice of users who like to take pictures.
In addition to taking pictures, the ability to shoot video, under the upgrade of the 18-bit ISP, also has a better level, such as the ability to capture pixels from the previous 2.7 billion to 3.2 billion, a single lens can capture 30 108 million pixels per second, 3 lenses each lens can capture 30 36 million pixels per second, providing more creative space for many small partners who like to shoot videos. In addition, the processing power has an 8K level, corresponding to the 8K video upload supported by the B station, and the upgrade is indeed very timely.
Of course, mobile phone photography is not comparable to professional camera photography, but the addition of AI has effectively changed the horizontal gap between the two. With the blessing of AI technology, Qualcomm has cooperated with Leica to bring Leica Letitz style to the new Snapdragon 8 platform, bringing more possibilities for creation.
It is not difficult to find that the image strength of the new Snapdragon 8 platform is indeed very set, which also leaves a full optimization space for future terminal manufacturers, so that everyone becomes more stable after being equipped, and there is also the style of Leica, which can indeed bring consumers a more professional photography experience, which is worth affirming.
