Qualcomm is making strides through the mobile ecosystem with the new Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, and a pair of AR Smart Viewer glasses.
Qualcomm today announced the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, the souped-up version of its flagship system-on-a-chip , while marking a shift to its newest naming scheme for the 700 series with its launch of the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. Devices powered by these mobile platforms will arrive in the market starting in the current quarter of 2022.
Obvious performance improvements In addition, the CPU and GPU power efficiencies have been improved by 30%. The overall power efficiency has also been enhanced by 15%, which could remedy the heating issues reported on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. For users, that means the chipset will be able to support longer gaming sessions and better-sustained workloads.
Numerous customers lining up Despite meager improvements, Qualcomm has a long list of takers for the new Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1. This list includes ASUS ROG, Black Shark, Honor, Lenovo and Motorola, Oppo and OnePlus, Vivo and its sub-brand iQOO, Xiaomi and Redmi, and ZTE alongside its sub-brands Nubia and RedMagic. Surprisingly, the official announcement does not include Samsung despite an emerging leak suggesting that the Galaxy Z Flip 4 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1.
Significant CPU and GPU upgrades While Qualcomm refrains from sharing details about the microarchitecture and the clock speeds, noted leaker Digital Chat Station says there are four Cortex A710 cores clocked at 2.36GHz while the Cortex A510 cores have a clock speed of 1.80GHz. While these are in the same ballpark as the Snapdragon 780G, a more efficient manufacturing process is likely to boost performance.
The SoC also features an improved Spectra image signal processor that supports up to a 200-megapixel camera sensor, a slight bump over the 192MP sensor supported earlier. Does that mean we will have smartphones with a functional 200MP camera? We don’t know for sure, and only time will tell. We already have 200MP sensors in the market, and the new chipset could kick off their adoption.
Qualcomm AR Smart Viewer The growing popularity of augmented and virtual realities and the growth of the buzz around the metaverse compels us to envision a future where we will interact with our environments through better utilization of technology. Technologies such as AR and VR will play a significant role in dissolving boundaries between the digital and the physical worlds, and Qualcomm shows us how it may be done in the next few years.
