By the way, if you do not know what the essence of the technical process is and why it is constantly changing, read about it\u00a0<\/span><span>in our material<\/span><span>.\u00a0In the new CPU, performance has increased by 20%, and energy efficiency &#8211; by 30% at once compared to the current flagship\u00a0<\/span><strong><span>Snapdragon 888<\/span><\/strong><span>.\u00a0<\/span><strong><span>The Adreno GPU has<\/span><\/strong><span>\u00a0become 30% more powerful, and its energy efficiency has increased by 25% compared to the same Snapdragon 888.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In addition, new GPU controls have appeared for more precise tuning of the operation of games on smartphones &#8211; this is the Adreno Frame Motion Engine, which allows you to render a game with an increased FPS without increasing power consumption.\u00a0The second is Elite Gaming, with which the processor finds a balance between performance and power consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The new Snapgragon 8 Gen 1 features a brand new\u00a0<\/span><strong><span>Qualcomm Snapdragon<\/span><\/strong><span>\u00a0X65\u00a0<strong>modem<\/strong>\u00a0supporting existing mmWave communication ranges up to 6 GHz.\u00a0Added support for data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps.\u00a0The device also boasts support for the latest Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E standards, as well as Bluetooth LE Audio, which is new to Qualcomm.\u00a0In addition, the\u00a0<\/span><strong><span>Snapdragon Sound technology has been<\/span><\/strong><span>\u00a0added\u00a0for AptX Lossless wireless audio transmission.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span>New Snapdragon processor<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>The company has not only worked on the processing power of the processor, but also paid attention to improving the capabilities of the camera.\u00a0Thus, a new brand,\u00a0<\/span><strong><span>Snapdragon Sight<\/span><\/strong><span>\u00a0, has\u00a0appeared\u00a0, which will be responsible for this.\u00a0In the new chip, the bit depth has been increased from 14 bits to 18, which will allow to receive 4096 times more data from the camera.\u00a0The triple ISP system now allows 240 12MP photos per second, or 8K HDR video and 64MP photos at the same time, thanks to increased bandwidth up to 3.2 gigapixels per second.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In general, the chip will be able to simultaneously process\u00a0<\/span><strong><span>data from three cameras<\/span><\/strong><span>\u00a0of 36 megapixels each, as well as shoot HDR video at 30 frames per second, 4K video at 120 frames per second, or HD video in 720p at 960 (!!!) frames per second.\u00a0In addition, another feature looks interesting &#8211; for example, combining up to 30 pictures into one high-quality one when shooting in the dark.\u00a0For comparison, the Snapdragon 888 can only combine 6. The algorithms themselves, auto exposure, autofocus, automatic face detection, and even a special bokeh mechanism for adding portrait mode to 4K video have been improved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Qualcomm has added new tools for maintaining the Always-On-Camera.\u00a0Now developers will be able to create interesting features: for example, automatically turn off the screen when the user puts the smartphone on the table, or when they detect someone who is trying to peer into your screen, looking over his shoulder.\u00a0All data from the always-\u00a0<\/span><strong><span>on camera<\/span><\/strong><span>\u00a0will remain on the device &#8211; this is what the developers are talking about.\u00a0By the way, the always-on camera can be deactivated &#8211; just like a microphone.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"adsense\"><\/div>\n<p><span>The company also upgraded the\u00a0<\/span><strong><span>Qualcomm Hexagon<\/span><\/strong><span>\u00a0signal engine\u00a0: now it has become 4 times more productive than the previous generation, and its energy efficiency has increased by 1.7 times.\u00a0This module can be used for various tasks and scenarios such as camera functions.\u00a0It recreates the\u00a0<\/span><strong><span>effects of Leica lenses<\/span><\/strong><span>\u00a0, certain effects in games, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It is worth noting the fact that the developers paid special attention to security.\u00a0The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 has a\u00a0<\/span><strong><span>Trust Management Engine<\/span><\/strong><span>\u00a0&#8211; a unit responsible for additional security in the device.\u00a0<\/span><strong><span>The<\/span><\/strong><span>\u00a07th Gen\u00a0<strong>Al Engine<\/strong>\u00a0will be able to solve machine learning problems 4 times faster than its predecessor Snapdragon 888.
