The mighty Snapdragon 888 5G 4n6h5f
O Snapdragon 888 5G has the third generation of SnapdragonTM X60 5G Modem-RF, which as the name implies is an integrated modem that allows global compatibility with 5G, being compatible with networks that communicate through protocols sub-6 (i.e. connections between 3 and 6 Ghz) or mmWave, which is the protocol that allows use of the network 5G +. It will also allow the global use of more than one SIM chip (the so-called multi-Sim) and Dynamic Spectrum Sharing, which allows 3G, 4G and 5G networks to be accessed on the same communications frequency.
The chipset also comes with the sixth generation of Qualcomm AI Engine and with the microprocessor Qualcomm Hexagon, capable of multiprocessing that in addition to making devices that make use of Qualcomm hardware faster, also use artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the execution of various functions. According to the company, they are capable of processing 26 tera operations per second (TOPS).
The company will also continue to implement its functions Snapdragon Elite Gaming in New Snapdragon 888 5G. These functions make hardware and software work together to enable GPU driver updates on mobiles, display the best possible image (often also implementing HDR in game images) and enabling rates of up to 144 frames per second. The third generation of Snapdragon Elite Gaming that will be in Snapdragon 888 5G will bring a huge the performance of the GPU Adreno.
Also, it is the company's intention that the Snapdragon 888 make it much easier to use smartphones as professional cameras, with its own API Spectra ISP allowing s to capture 2,7 gigapixels per second, or in simpler , approximately 120 photos at 12MP resolution per second.
During the conference, Qualcomm demonstrated the power of Snapdragon 888 5G from remote control cars, fully connected in a 5G network using the mmWave protocol. with the help of Verizon and the Ericsson, a private 5G network was built into the presentation environment, and thanks to the 5G capabilities of Qualcomm's new technologies, drivers were able to control the car over a distance of more than 1,6 km, in addition to seeing the track they were racing live on. without any delay thanks to the low latency of the 5G platform.
With the 5G connection, the race can be watched in different streams of different latency, showing the location of the cars on a dynamic map made from the new capabilities of the Qualcomm Location Suite API, which can provide very detailed location with ease.
