A focus on better and more efficient performance for artificial intelligence-related tasks is the focus of the next flagship chip fromQUALCOMM. A new modem designed to wring the best performance out of 5G networks is part of that. The numbers keep going up, so it supports wi- fi 7
The Gen 2 has a single prime core based on Arm Cortex-X3 at 3.2 GHz. There are three efficiency cores at 2.0 GHz, which are 200 and 300MHz faster than last year's hardware. The previous generation was 35 percent faster than the current one. The graphics card is up to 25 percent faster and 45 percent more efficient. The Gen 1 process is used to build the entire chip.
According to the company, it has made improvements all the way up to 4.35x faster. The company claims it can translate a language into multiple languages in real time.
The camera feature used to be called "always-on", but has been changed to "always-sense".
The 8 Gen 2 is the first system on a chip to support it, and it was added just when we were starting to get on board with the 6th edition. At Mobile World Congress earlier this year, the X70 modem was announced, with its own artificial intelligence processor to help boost 5G coverage and speed. You can use both 5G networks at the same time with the X70. Bars are in more places.
Dynamic spatial audio allows sound to move with you as you move your head. It is a new addition to the platform and is already offered by a number of companies. You will need compatible headphones to do head tracking. Hardware-based real-time ray tracing for more realistic light and reflections is supported by the Chipset for gaming.
The ability to use real-time semantic classification for photos and videos has been added to the Spectra image signal processor. This helps to identify different types of subjects in an image. It helps the camera distinguish between things like faces, hair, and skies and makes color adjustments to each individually as the image is captured. It is possible to predict what a final image will look like in the viewfinder before software image processing does its job. The new image sensor from Sony and the one from SAMSUNG will be supported by the second generation of the chip.
The "always-on" camera feature introduced with the Gen 1 has been renamed to a less intrusive "always sense" and supports things like hiding notifications when someone else looks at your phone screen.
Sound moves with you as you move your head.
The usual suspects are on the list of partners for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, but there is a glaring omission: SAMSUNG. It is not clear if the upcoming S23 flagships will include the 8 Gen 2 globally as early rumors indicate or if they will keep using their own Exynos chip. We won't have to wait until the S23 arrives to check out the latest from Qualcomm, as the company says it will be in devices before the end of the year.
