Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 – Octa-core chipset announced on November 15, 2022, manufactured using 4nm process technology. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor has 1 Cortex-X3 core at 3200MHz, 4 Cortex-A715 cores at 2800MHz and 3 Cortex-A510 cores at 2000MHz.
It integrates four different CPU clusters. Fast and large core core based on ARM Cortex-X3 architecture up to 3.2GHz for 64-bit applications. Two other ARM Cortex-A715-based cores clocked at up to 2.8GHz (also for 64-bit applications only). Two more performance cores Cortex-A710 at up to 2.8GHz that can also be used for older applications and three efficiency cores (ARM Cortex-A510 at up to 2GHz). All cores can use the shared 8MB Level 3 cache.
Thanks to the new architecture, the SD 8 Gen 2 is the fastest mobile CPU for Android devices, surpassed only by Apple's current processor, Apple A16 You can learn about the specifications of the Apple A16 from the previous link.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 also integrates a six-core accelerator for AI workloads. Qualcomm states that it is one of the first chipsets to offer INT4 support and up to 4.35x performance over the previous generation. Also, the built-in AI engine can deliver up to 4 times faster AI performance thanks to the larger Tensor engine.
The 18-Bit-Spectra ISP can process photos with a resolution of up to 200MP and work with videos at up to 8K@30fps (including 10-bit, HDR10+, HLG, and Dolby Vision).
