This year, Qualcomm announced that it will be the first to be truly competitive with the latest Intel and AMD chips thanks to the company’s new Oryon CPU architecture, which is based on technology developed by Nubia (a company Qualcomm acquired more than three years ago). Laptop processor released.
Qualcomm currently offers Oryon on smartphones and tablets. new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite The processor is expected to significantly improve the performance and efficiency of mobile devices.
Qualcomm’s new chips feature a new architecture for both the Prime and Performance CPU cores. Snapdragon 8 Elite has two Prime CPU cores that support speeds up to 4.32 GHz and six performance cores with speeds up to 3.53 GHz. The company also promises improved graphics and AI performance.
Compared to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, Qualcomm says the new Snapdragon 8 Elite offers the following benefits:
- CPU enhancement
- 45% increase in single-core performance
- 45% increase in multi-core performance
- 44% power savings
- GPU enhancement
- 40% improvement in overall graphics
- Ray tracing improved by 35%
- 40% power savings
- NPU enhancements
- 45% faster NPU
- 45% more performance per watt
Overall, Qualcomm says the new chip delivers significant performance improvements while using approximately 27% less power than Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Other features include Qualcomm Snapdragon X80 modem RF system with 5G connectivity with download speeds up to 10 Gbps and upload speeds up to 3.5 Gbps, FastConnect 7900 wireless with “AI-enhanced WiFi 7” and integrated ultra-wideband support System included. , support for 24-bit, 96 kHz lossless audio, and support for 33% faster throughput.
The new chips are based on the same architecture as Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon Please note that it is designed for PCs with cooling systems. So don’t expect much from a phone with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. all Devices with Snapdragon X chips have the same speed, or at least not the same speed. But the lines between smartphone, laptop, and desktop chips are constantly blurring.
That said, Qualcomm says the chip will support a wide range of powerful features, including phones with 4K displays (60 Hz) or 240 Hz displays (QHD+ resolution), up to 320 megapixel photo capture (or up to 4K video capture) We promise to support you. 120 fps) and AI-enhanced photo features, including “Unlimited Segmentation,” which “recognizes and enhances almost everything in the frame, including faces, hair, clothing, objects, backgrounds, and more.”
Some of the first devices powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip will be announced “in the coming weeks,” including models from companies like Samsung, Asus, Honor, iQOO, OnePlus, Oppo, RealMe, Vivo, and Xiaomi. It’s planned.
