Qualcomm has unveiled two new chipsets to power high-end mobile phones, including its new top-tier offering: the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 8+ Gen 1 is one of Qualcomm\u2019s typical mid-cycle refreshes, in this case upgrading on last December\u2019s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The core of the chip remains unchanged, but the CPU\u2019s prime core has been overclocked to 3.2GHz \u2013 up from 3GHz \u2013 resulting in a 10% increased in CPU performance. That\u2019s matched by a further 10% improvement to the GPU, and both benefit from a 30% improvement to power efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those upgrades won\u2019t be enough to see the 8+ Gen 1 catch up to Apple\u2019s A15 Bionic on pure performance, but should further cement Qualcomm as the dominant chip provider for high-end Android phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brands including Xiaomi, Asus ROG, Realme, and Motorola have already committed to using the upgraded chip, which is expected to appear in the likes of the ROG Phone 6, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Fold 4, and Xiaomi 12 Ultra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alongside the 8+ Gen 1, Qualcomm also revealed the 7 Gen 1 \u2013 its first mid-range chip since the company adopted the new \u2018Gen\u2019 branding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the 8+ Gen 1, this is a 4nm chip, and uses roughly the same CPU structure \u2013 though clocked slower at 2.4GHz on its prime core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s powerful enough to drive FHD+ displays at 144Hz \u2013 or QHD+ screens at 60Hz; can record 4K HDR video at up to 30fps with up to 200Mp photo capture; and boasts gaming features like Variable Rate Shading, the Adreno Frame Motion Engine, and over 20% faster graphics rendering than last year\u2019s Snapdragon 778G.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
