Η Qualcomm made official at the event Qualcomm Snapdragon Tech Summit 2021 new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, which is the new flagship of the company's Mobile Platform.


TThe new SoC has the first 10 Gigabit 5G Snapdragon X65 5G Modem-RF System in the world, but also the new connectivity system Qualcomm Fast Connect 6900 which offers Wi-Fi speeds of up to 3,6 Gbps (via Wi-Fi 6 and 6E).

The Kryo CPU based on the latest architecture ARM-V9, promises up 20% performance improvement and against 30% improved energy efficiency, while its next generation Adreno GPU promises improved performance by 30% and energy saving against 25% compared to its predecessor.

Qualcomm's new SoC has ISP at 18-bit with processing speeds of up to 3,2 gigapixels per second, is equipped with the new engine artificial intelligence (AI) Qualcomm, processor Qualcomm Hexagon with 2 times faster Tensor accelerator and 2 times more shared memory (shared memory) by its predecessor.


Key features of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1

  • Connectivity:
    It is equipped with 10 Gigabit 5G Snapdragon X65 5G Modem-RF System 4th generation , which is the first in the world to reach download speeds of 10 Gigabit. The new SoC also features the new connectivity system Qualcomm Fast Connect 6900, which offers Wi-Fi speeds of up to 3,6 Gbps (via Wi-Fi 6 and 6E).

  • Cameras:
    Technology snapdragon sight includes the first 18-bit ISP intended for Smartphones, which can be processed over 4000x more data from the cameras, compared to its predecessor, offering an extremely large dynamic range, color and sharpness at amazing speeds, reaching up to 3,2 gigapixels per second.It is also the first SoC for mobile devices that has the ability to capture video in 8K HDR in HDR10 + format, with more than a billion shades of color. New Bokeh Engine adds beautiful and soft background to videos. The SoC also includes one fourth separate ISP with extremely low power consumption, which is dedicated to its functions Always-On Face UnlockWith this feature, the device is unlocked instantly when the owner's face is identified, and it also locks automatically as soon as the owner removes his face from the camera's field of vision, providing even greater security.

  • AI Engine: That's it Ai Engine 7th generation by Qualcomm, is equipped with the ultra-high-performance processor Qualcomm Hexagon, which has against 2 times faster Tensor accelerator and against 2 times more shared memory from its predecessor, with built-in smart filters Leica Leitz Look.

  • Games: With more than 50 special features in Snapdragon Elite Gaming, new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC offers extremely smooth response, rich in color HDR scenes in the highest quality, but also features in Gaming that are equivalent to those of a desktop computer. Qualcomm Adreno GPU provides against 30% better performance in graphics and against 25% improved energy efficiency compared to the previous generation. The Variable Rate Shading Pro provides greater control to game developers, helping them to further improve overall gaming performance. The Volumetric rendering that it offers is at the level of one Desktop PC, offering unparalleled realism in fog, smoke and particle effects, optimized for mobile devices from Snapdragon Studios by Qualcomm Technologies.
  • Sound: In addition to its built-in technology Bluetooth 5.2 and Snapdragon Sound that the SoC has, now the technology has been added Qualcomm aptX Lossless for lossless wireless audio, in CD quality. Supports brand new LE audio functions, such as the Live Streaming of sound (broadcast audio), stereo recording and voice back-channel for games.
  • Security : The new SoC looks like a real treasure trove of security and data protection. It is the first Snapdragon platform to have an exclusive Trust Management Engine, to achieve enhanced security and its provision root of trust in applications and services that need it. It is the first mobile platform in the world that has the Android Ready SE - the new standard for digital car keys, driver's licenses and more. In addition, the Qualcomm Secure Processing Unit provided by the SoC provides support to name (a built-in SIM card), so that users can easily and securely connect to mobile networks without the need for a regular SIM card.
