10% more powerful performance, 30% more battery saver

Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 has recently been officially introduced by Qualcomm with the codename SM8475, promising to bring improvements in performance as well as energy savings compared to the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, and at the same time. thoroughly solve the phenomenon of overheating and draining the battery.

Qualcomm says the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 has a 10% increase in CPU performance and 30% more power savings than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The Cortex-X2 performance core can reach a maximum clock of 3.2GHz, up from 3.0GHz on 8th Gen 1. The remaining three performance cores (Cortex A710) are also clocked up to 2.75GHz and four energy efficient cores (Cortex A510) clocked at 2.0GHz.

The GPU is also overclocked to 10% and improves power consumption by 30%. AI engines also have a 20% increase in efficiency per Watt. Overall, the SoC’s power efficiency has improved by 15%. This means that under the same conditions, a phone using the new chipset will be able to stream video up to 1 hour and 30 minutes longer than a phone using the older chipset. To get these improvements, Qualcomm had to turn to TSMC, which uses the 4nm process.

The remaining parameters of Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 remain unchanged compared to Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, including the ability to support 16GB LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 memory, support for QHD + maximum resolution screens at 144Hz refresh rate or 4K at 60Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ and output 10-bit color images.

Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 comes with Snapdragon X65 modem, supporting 5G networks with a maximum transfer rate of 10Gbps. The FastConnect 6900 processor supports Wi-Fi 6/6E at 3.6GHz, Bluetooth 5.3 improves music playback in aptX Lossless format as well as Bluetooth LE Audio.

Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 integrates an 18-bit Spectra image processor that can process data from a 200MP sensor, record 8K 30FPS or 4K 120FPS video…

Qualcomm says the world’s first Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 device will be launched in the third quarter of this year.
