Snapdragon competes with Apple with its new 8 Gen 1 chips
Qualcomm has presented the new era of its most impressive portable processor, one of the references in the area that has more and more adversaries.
For a long time Snapdragon has been the top genuine choice for Android phones, however little by little things are evolving.
MediaTek is starting to think responsibly with its latest releases; However, the most important thing is that the greatest risk for Qualcomm is that the producers begin to promote their own chips, as Google has done from now on with the Pixel 6, determined to close the gap with the Apple iPhone.
The new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 addresses another moment for the manufacturer, and addresses it with a name change that it tries to work things out with.
Instead of putting three numbers to separate each chip (like the Snapdragon 888, or the Snapdragon 695), currently each model will be isolated in one of the four territories indicated by its power: Series 8, Series 7, Series 6 and Series 4, and by its antiquity.
Thus, the model presented today is the original of the Snapdragon 8, the most dedicated for greater execution.
This evolution is confirmed by the fact that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is the company's first with a 4 nm manufacturing process, which should further develop competence and control over previous 5 nm models.
The new Kyro CPU hubs currently claim to be 20% faster and up to 30% more productive than the Snapdragon 888.
The progressively significant AI engine for cunning capabilities in Android has been further improved and is currently several times faster.
The gaming area is becoming progressively significant on cell phones, so the Adreno GPU has been improved with a fourth era that is 30% faster and 25% more competent than the Adreno 660 used so far.
In any case, it is especially important to implement 50 new capabilities that make it look more like a card from PC designs, with innovations such as volumetric delivery, 10-digit HDR and frequencies up to 144 Hz. This will really want to exploit layout engines like the Unreal Engine and Unity.
The camera is one of the points of view in which Snapdragon phones are somewhat behind, and Qualcomm has to address it with another 18-bit ISP (image signal processor), capable of handling images at a higher speed; That will allow you to record 8K HDR video, as well as snap 240 12MP photos in one second.
Night mode performance will be several times better, and it will feature a compromised engine for 'bokeh' impact on 4K recordings.
This is complemented by scheduled face discovery, scheduled aperture and zoom on recordings.
First PDAs reported
The presentation of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 has generated a new high-end in the market, and numerous manufacturers have been quick to declare that they will be among the fastest to test it on their mobiles.
Xiaomi has stated that its new Xiaomi 12 will carry this processor, and Realme has done the same with the new Realme GT 2, along with its 'sister' Oppo who will use it in the new Find X4 ; In this multitude of cases, it is about mobiles that have not yet been reported with authority, however, which are trusted to be a leap forward.
However, all of them could be seen in advance by Motorola, which states that its new Moto Edge X30, which will ship on December 9, will use this new processor; however, at the moment it may be accessible in China.
