Previously, it was reported that due to the poor yield and high power consumption of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 foundry of Samsung, it was difficult to solve the problem, and the next generation of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus was handed over to TSMC. However, at present, some well-informed people have exposed that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus has increased energy consumption due to design problems, and even if it is handed over to TSMC to adopt advanced processes, it cannot be circumvented, or it can be solved by frequency reduction.
It is reported that the Core of the Cortex X2, a flagship chip of the Qualcomm Enhanced Edition flagship chip Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus, which is expected to be released in the second half of this year, is quite energy-consuming, and the high-frequency power consumption is particularly serious.
Previously, the outside world thought that the reason why the Snapdragon SoC consumes power is because the Samsung process is not good. However, the facts show that the high energy consumption of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 series may be related to the core design of qualcomm Arm. If you can't find a solution, you have to downselect the Cortex X2 core of the next generation of Snapdragon's flagship SoC. As a result, the performance difference from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is not much.
There may not be much improvement in performance frequency, but Qualcomm's release of a new generation of 5G modem Snapdragon X70, its biggest feature is to support 10Gbps 5G peak download speed, but also bring advanced experiences such as Qualcomm 5G AI suite, Qualcomm 5G ultra-low latency suite and quad carrier aggregation. The Snapdragon X70 is likely to be integrated into the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus, making it the strongest 5G chip. Therefore, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus is still worth looking forward to.
