Don't lose apple! Xiaolong's new generation processor 8Gen 2 specification is exposed in advance!
Recently, Qualcomm also announced the latest generation of Snapdragon processor, Snapdragon 8gen2. This processor has been exposed and attracted the attention of a large number of users. After all, it will have a great impact on Android phones in 2023. Here, I have compiled a detailed introduction to the relevant specifications and parameters of Snapdragon 8gen2 processor. I hope it can help you!
Don't lose Apple! Xiaolong's new generation processor 8Gen 2 specification is exposed in advance
First of all, in terms of CPU, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 uses four clusters for the first time, including one X3 super core+two A720 big cores+two A710 middle cores+three A5x0 small cores. You may not understand this strange architecture.
In fact, this is probably designed by Qualcomm for 32-bit applications. In the ARM v9 architecture, only A710 can support 32-bit applications, while others can only support 64 bit applications. At present, 32-bit applications still account for a large proportion, so the A710 core may not be cut. However, we all know that the energy efficiency ratio of the A710 core is average, and heavy use of the A710 core will affect the overall performance of the processor, so we can only reduce the number of A710 cores to two.
It is worth mentioning that this time, the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 finally stopped chopping the cache and chose to pull it full directly. At present, in the GeekBench 5 test, the single core performance of Snapdragon 8 Gen2 is 1430 points, and the multi-core performance is 4600 points. Among them, the CPU single core score is between Apple A13 and Apple A14, which is 7.5% higher than Snapdragon 8+Gen1. The performance of multi-core is somewhat unsatisfactory, which is only consistent with MediaTek Tianji 9000.
Next, let's take a look at the GPU. If the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 CPU does not have too many highlights, then the GPU will be different. The GPU of Snapdragon 8 Gen2 is up to 50% higher than that of Snapdragon 8+Gen1, and the energy efficiency ratio of the power consumption node 7W is 20% higher.
It is estimated that the GPU of Snapdragon 8 Gen2 can reach an amazing 264FPS in the GFX Manhattan 3.1 test, which may be stronger than the Apple M1 of the seven core GPU. It can basically be described as "air every second, day every second", but at this time the power consumption has also reached 10W, which is still somewhat high.
Finally, the peripheral specifications changed. Snapdragon 8 Gen2 upgraded its power management to PM8550, and supported UFS 4.0 and up to 4200MHz LPDDR5X memory. It is expected that in terms of 5G baseband, ISP and AIE, Snapdragon 8 Gen2 will also have some upgrades. In terms of manufacturing process, Snapdragon 8 Gen2 has chosen TSMC 4nm N4 process. At present, this process is still a relatively stable solution and the technology is relatively mature.
The above is the latest news about the performance of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8gen2 processor. This processor is quite good. Even compared with Apple's A series processors, it can play a dozen. Those who like high configuration mobile phones may wish to look forward to the official launch of this processor!
