During the Snapdragon Summit 2022, Qualcomm announced its newest processor for high-end smartphones and tablets that will be launched in 2023: the Snapdragon 8 Gen2🇧🇷 Designed to further improve the field of artificial intelligence, the new platform seeks to be one of the main ones in the cell phone market, with compatibility and optimization of videos and photos, as well as games and varied connections. 6f655z
Artificial intelligence in Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 5r5y60
Smartphone is the most important platform of our lives today, and we are doing more and more with them.
Cristiano Amon, CEO of Qualcomm
Qualcomm's new chip is yet another device manufactured in partnership with TSMC, using the Taiwanese giant's 4nm process. It promises 40% greater energy efficiency with a 35% gain in performance when compared to the manufacturer's previous generation.
The first big news of Snapdragon 8 Gen2 is the improvement in snapdragon smart, which will feature Qualcomm's most advanced Artificial Intelligence engine for a more complete experience in accelerating camera functions and natural processing for translating items in multiple languages.
This will be achieved thanks to the improved version of the processor Qualcomm Hexagon, which allows a greater inference to occur and the use of larger tensors in the part so that the AI performance is up to 4,35 times greater than in the Snapdragon Gen 1.
Furthermore, this will be the first generation of the Snapdragon which will the INT4 – an AI accuracy model that delivers up to 60% improvements in technology utilization, which will enable a greater amount of tools for developers and s of the Qualcomm AI Stack, an application development platform for Snapdragon platforms.
The improvements in Snapdragon Sight 2c112a
Another novelty were improvements in the snapdragon sight, part of the processor that involves the use of cell phone cameras. With the new generation, the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 you can automatically improve photos and videos in real time based on semantic segmentation, a technology also used to colorize black and white photos and which uses AI neural networks to recognize faces, hair, clothes, skies and much more.
Furthermore, thanks to a breakthrough developed by Qualcomm that connects to the coprocessor Hexagon through a process baptized by the Cognitive ISP allows the smartphone camera to understand the world in real time and allows you to record videos with HDR in up to 8K.
Another function explained was the Always Sensing Camera, which will allow the to point to any QR code without unlocking the cell phone, so that it recognizes and activates the screen with the content — a great option to quickly show restaurant menus
for new photo sensors was also announced, such as the ISOCELL HP3 from Samsung, the first to have 200 megapixels, and which will already be distributed with optimization for the Snapdragon 8 Gen2, giving professional quality to photos and videos. The processor will also feature a codec AV1 that will enable 8K video playback at 60 frames per second on compatible mobile phones, enabling even more impressive content creation experiences for s.
Safety 4e193o
The new processor from Qualcomm also has the Snapdragon Secure, which offers the latest security capabilities for smartphones using the chip. Encryption, management, and more have been built into the hardware so that s get maximum protection from their device.
One of the examples explained by the company as security improvements was unlocking through facial identification, which now looks for aspects of life in the 's face, analyzing small points to detect movement, change, breathing and other aspects that may indicate that it is a real person, not just a photo.
Games on Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 4q3z1b
The next generation of mobile processors from Qualcomm will also feature new tools in of games, within the well-known kit Snapdragon Elite Gaming🇧🇷 The main innovations are the ray tracing in real time in compatible games, 25% higher performance thanks to GPU Adreno improved, and 40% greater energy efficiency on the devices running the games.
In addition, Qualcomm's new processor will be compatible with Unreal Engine 5, in addition to having more cores so that the graphics of mobile titles are more impressive for players.
Adjustable 5n4545
Finally, in the connection part, more specifically the Snapdragon Connect, the platform will the connection 5G, WiFi 7 (being the first processor in the world to be compatible with this technology) and Bluetooth🇧🇷 Thanks to the Snapdragon X70 5G modem system, mobile devices using the new generation of processor will be able to take advantage of 5G connections much more, with impressive and speeds, in addition to for Dual-SIM Dual-Active — plus compatibility with eSIM.
No Bluetooth, the processor uses the call Advance Dual Bluetooth, which doubles the signal range to connect headphones and other wireless devices to smartphones and tablets in greater comfort.
snapdragon sound 4g312
Already snapdragon sound it also features improvements, mainly in for spatial audio, in addition to compatibility with 48kHz music to avoid loss of content quality, allowing s to enjoy their favorite tracks in the highest quality provided by their creators.
Availability 5t444n
O Snapdragon 8 Gen2 will appear on devices Xiaomi initially that they will be launched in late 2022, with other devices with the platform being made available for sale throughout 2023. The processor will be mainly aimed at high-end devices, and will be on the market alongside other Qualcomm processors for different levels of devices furniture.
