News & Reviews:   Qualcomm

Back in MWC 2022 a few months ago, Qualcomm introduced the next generation of WiFi 7 connectivity. The company released more details today, namely four new Qualcomm Networking Pro Series platforms, namely the 1620, 1220, 820 and 620 models. Here's more detail about the technology.

Besides the TSMC-produced Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, we might also be seeing the 4G variant at the upcoming announcement. According to a well-known tipster named Shadow_Leak, the chip is being prepared though not much information is given.

Samsung has once again snatched the top spot in the semiconductor industry. According to the latest report, the Korean tech giant surpassed Intel by becoming the world's biggest semiconductor company by revenue in 2021.

Most of us know that Qualcomm is currently preparing to launch the TSMC variant of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, namely Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+. However, we didn't know that the semiconductor manufacturer is secretly working on another chip as well, and it's the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1.

It seems that next-gen of flagship mobile chipsets will be sacrificing power efficiency in favour of performance boost. This is according to a new leak that claimed ARM’s upcoming Cortex-X3 cores to be more power hungry than its predecessor.

The new Cortex-X3 cores are expected to make its way into next generation mobile chipsets including the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Samsung Exynos 2300. Furthermore, it may even feature inside the MediaTek Dimensity 10000.

In 2020, MediaTek had surpassed Qualcomm to become the number one chip vendor in global markets. However, Qualcomm still had its number one spot secured in the US for several quarters after that. Now, it looks like MediaTek is powerful enough to turn the table by snatching the crown from the US-based company.

Although it has only been less than two months since the launch of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, we have now received the latest information claiming that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus will make it to the market soon.

Both Qualcomm and MediaTek have announced their latest flagship chips, and many smartphone manufacturers have also confirmed that they will launch smartphones with the chips shortly. Today, HONOR has officially released a poster, revealing it's launching a smartphone with the Dimensity 9000 as well.

Shortly after announcing the Snapdragon 8 gen 1 mobile platform, Qualcomm also unveiled another new technology called the Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 Gaming Platform for Android, Windows PC and Chromebook ecosystem. As the name suggests, it's a new platform for gamers but with a twist - it allows you to run all Android games, play content from cloud gaming libraries, stream games from your home console or PC and enjoy entertainment from your favourite Android apps.

After the much teased Snapdragon naming scheme, Qualcomm has officially unveiled the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 premium 5G mobile platform. As mentioned before in our previous news, the new Snapdragon 8 leads the way into a new era of premium mobile technology. This includes 5G, AI, mobile gaming, camera, WiFi and Bluetooth technologies.
