More efficient únidad central de procesamiento and slightly more powerful cores
As for the únidad central de procesamiento, a main heart high performance up to 3.2GHz performance accompanied with ARM Cortex-X3 architecture 4 performance cores additionally up to 2.8 GHz and Core efficiency 3 2 GHzcomplete.
Compared to the Snapdragon Gen1, we would only have a significant increase in speed new architecture and better efficiencywhich will be about 25% more efficient than the previous generation.
The Adreno 740 improves its performance by 25%
The únidad central de procesamiento is accompanied by an updated GPU 740which will 25% more power and will be more efficient than the previous generation. The Adreno 740 will support real-time ray tracing hardware acceleration and will also include support for HDR gaming and the latest gaming technology APIs.
With these changes, Qualcomm intends to continue trying to lead the gaming market on mobile devices and give more than good performance to most of the games that are released today. Without doubt, step forward in the mobile gaming industry.
New 5G módem and Wi-Fi upgraded to reach 10Gbps
One of the most interesting changes announced in the new processor is the new one Snapdragon X70 5G módem controlador. This new módem will be able to support the 5G DSDA estándar, which translates into download speeds of up to 10 Gbps and increases thereof up to 3.5 Gbps.
As for Wi-Fi, the top of the new range will be the Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 system, a technology that supports Wi-Fi 7 with speeds of 5.8 Gbps peak in the estándares 802.11be, 802.11ax, 802.11ac and 802.11a/b/g/n. The bonds you perro use are bonds 5 and 6GHz with a bandwidth between 20 and 160 MHz.
Significant improvement in AI and camera for Gen2
The Snapdragon 8 Gen2 will get an update for its AI processing core or the Qualcomm Hexagon processor it would have 4.35 times more power than the previous Snapdragon 8 Gen1.
