At the Snapdragon Summit held today, Qualcomm officially launched its highly anticipated new generation flagship SoC - Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy (SM8750-AB). This chip adopts the second-generation customized Oryon architecture CPU developed by Qualcomm itself, and integrates a series of cutting-edge technologies, achieving comprehensive upgrades in performance and functionality.

Performance Enhancement: Faster Speed, Lower Power Consumption

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy is equipped with a newly designed Oryon CPU, including two "super cores" and six "performance cores," each core equipped with 12MB L2 cache, with a frequency of up to 4.32GHz. Thanks to the new slicing architecture, the single-core performance of this chip has increased by 40%, the multi-core performance has increased by 42%, while the power consumption has been reduced by 40%.

In addition to CPU upgrades, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy also adopts the Adreno 830 GPU, with a peak performance increase of 44%, energy efficiency increase of 25%, frequency reaching 1100MHz, and 12MB independent cache. The enhanced Hexagon NPU performance increased by 45%, the AIEngine AI performance increased by 45%, performance per unit power consumption increased by 45%, and supports longer Token input.

Functional Upgrade: Smarter, More Powerful

Thanks to the combination of AIISP and NPU, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy has significant improvements in camera functionality and provides industry-leading infinite semantic segmentation capabilities at 4K resolution. Additionally, the chip has a built-in "video eraser" that can eliminate unnecessary parts of the video, while Insight AI can provide real-time skin tone and background adjustments for more natural color and lighting.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy natively supports Unreal Engine 5.3 solutions and supports the full suite of Snapdragon EliteGaming features, enabling stunning cinematic 3D environments in mobile games while maximizing efficiency. Thanks to the support of the Unreal Chaos physics engine, it can also provide realistic object interaction and simulation experiences in complex scenarios.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy adopts the Snapdragon Sound technology suite, including Qualcomm aptX Lossless audio technology, providing 24bit 48kHz Bluetooth music and 24bit 96kHz Wi-Fi music support. Coupled with Qualcomm XPAN technology and Snapdragon Seamless Connect, it enables wireless audio coverage throughout the building.

Connectivity Upgrade: Faster, More Stable, Smarter

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy integrates the X805G modem-RF system, with a peak download rate of 10Gbps, a peak upload rate of 3.5Gbps, and support for 8 carriers (mmWave), 2x2MIMO (mmWave), adopting the first 4x6MIMO solution, achieving multi-gigabit 5G speeds in more places, with 30% improvement in positioning accuracy. It's worth mentioning that it is not only the first to provide "AI-based" baseband, but also the first 5G baseband integrating NB-NTN (satellite) support.

The chip also comes equipped with the FastConnect 7900 wireless Wi-Fi connection system with 40% efficiency improvement, a peak rate of 5.8Gbps, support for high-band concurrent (HBS) standard, enabling low-latency instant connection between devices and accessories. It is also the industry's first solution to integrate Wi-Fi ranging, Bluetooth, and UWB ultra-wideband connectivity into a single 6nm chip, which can be used for object tracking, door access control, and other areas.
