In the smartphone chip market, Qualcomm's Snapdragon series chips are considered to be the best chips, which is obviously no secret. For example, after the release of Qualcomm's new generation of Snapdragon 8, excellent performance, power control, and ultimate 5G experience once became the standard of flagship models of major Android camps. After the launch of the new Snapdragon 8 mobile phone by major mobile phone brands, a chip known as "Small Snapdragon 8" and positioning the mid-range mobile phone market has become the focus of everyone's attention, which is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7.
Like snapdragon 8, Snapdragon 7 uses an industry-leading 4nm process, with 1 large core CPU clock of 2.36GHz, three large cores with a main frequency of 2.2GHz, four small cores with a main frequency of 1.8Ghz, a GPU of Adreno 662, and a chip instruction set of ARMV8 architecture.
In terms of running points, according to the data provided by Geekbench, the single-core running score of oppo Reno8 is 712 points, and the multi-core is 2384 points, which means that OPPO Reno8 will achieve the first launch of Snapdragon 7. However, the running score of OPPO Reno8 is not excluded as the test score of the engineering machine, and after mass production, under the support of the performance adjustment and cooling system of major mobile phone manufacturers, the running score may be even better.
Many netizens may ask, the same is the 7 series chip, Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 7 chip compared with the previous Snapdragon 778, what is the difference?
In terms of process, Snapdragon 778 uses a 6nm process, while Snapdragon 7 uses a 4nm process, and a more advanced process also means that the chip will accommodate more transistors, bringing higher performance and lower power consumption.
In terms of GPUs, the Snapdragon 778 uses the Adreno 642L GPU, the Snapdragon 7 uses the Adreno 662 GPU, and it is worth noting that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 only uses the Adreno 660 GPU. That is to say, although the Snapdragon 7 is lower than the Snapdragon 888 in terms of performance, in terms of coping with image rendering, especially in terms of gaming experience, Snapdragon 7 will undoubtedly bring a more interesting experience to gamers.
It is reported that in addition to the OPPO Reno8 series, honor's 70 series and Huawei's Nova10 series will use this chip. For Huawei, Qualcomm may provide a 4G version of the Snapdragon 7, but in order to solve the problem of 5G connection, Huawei may also launch a special mobile phone case that supports sim card slots, which is also a very good solution. It is reported that oppo Reno8 may be released in May, honor 70, Huawei Nova10 series may be released in June and July.
With the release of the Snapdragon 7 series, it is not difficult for us to see its biggest advantage and solve the actual pain points of users.
First of all, in terms of price, compared with the Snapdragon 8 series chips, Snapdragon 7 has a higher cost performance, and in the context of severe public health security, it can indeed attract many economically nervous consumer groups.
Secondly, the stagnation of 4G network construction, the rapid popularization of 5G networks, many consumers change their mobile phones only because the 4G network speed has slowed down, and Qualcomm itself has a unique advantage in 5G baseband chips, RF front-end, antennas, etc. Although Snapdragon 7 is positioned in the middle end, it can bring users the new Snapdragon 8 flagship level 5G network connectivity, allowing users to completely bid farewell to the problem of screen lag and game dropout.
In addition, the continuous upgrading of mobile phone chips, the CPU has been able to meet almost all the daily needs of the moment, Snapdragon 7 on the basis of Snapdragon 778 on the basis of gpu upgrades, is undoubtedly to meet the mid-range market consumers for a better game experience demand. Coupled with the low power consumption and long endurance brought by the 4nm process process, Snapdragon 7 is likely to be widely popularized in the mid-range market, what do you think?
