Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 unveiled with new ARMv9 CPU cores, new Adreno GPU architecture

30 November 2021
Both the CPU and the GPU will offer higher performance and reduced power usage. The 5G modem can deliver speeds of up to 10 Gbps.

Im still waiting which 2021 handset to choose, but now with this i have only one question. Do i wait for this SN8G1 or not? Now are discounts and new soc will be surely more expensier.

So it is a chip for 2021 phones. Anyway like the guy said, SD8G1 and A15 are 2 month apart, you attempt to compare it with the A16 which will launch 1 year from now is really weird.

      Anonymous, 01 Dec 2021Sony putting dim display in 1600$ phone, that's where ... moreYeah, they have dimmed screen, but did you ever bother to find out why? Because they choose almost 4k res for their screen which is already taking a lot of battery and Snapdragon chip doesn't support such big res. So they have to implement their own co-processor just to handle that high res. I'm sure my comment means sh*t to you. But hey.. I think it's the same way for others about your constantly negative "opinions". FYI, I am really interested what device you use? What brand is so honnest that you choose that one over others? Peace out!

                        Absence of AV1 hardware decoder for a 2022 flagship is unacceptable. Qualcomm no longer makes the best Android SoC period. Cheaping out with a Samsung process instead of TSMC, not implementing a hardware AV1 decoder, not having more L1/L2 Cache. All of them make it a premium midrange SoC and not a flagship.

                          With every new generation of chip being made, big claims are being made about the power efficiency. However, those numbers are rarely translated into real world figures. Right now, every new invention is almost like a marketing gimmick to attract customers.

                            Anonymous, 01 Dec 2021CPU has support for 18bit raw photos. But you cannot use ... moreActually the sensor doesn't have to have 18-bit readout. Maybe 14-bit is good enough, and it upresses a few 14-bit RAW photos to produce 18-bit ot 16-bit HDR RAW photos.

You people just see magical numbers and think it's best. Meanwhile 3/4 of advertised features won't be used by ANY Android phone maker. It's been this way for years, what makes you all think it'll be any different now lol?

                                Soo this is apple a15 eater. I m sure this can beat A15 easily, a 15 only can win in benchmark but my doubt is in power efficiency and heating i hope they fixed it

                                        nice,, i love Adreno GPU, Snapdragon ISP and features.

                                        the bar probably too high for Exynoss to disrupt,, lmao
