Qualcomm has just announced Snapdragon8Gen2, the next iteration of its flagship smartphone SoC, at SnapdragonSummit2022.

Qualcomm has announced the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip at its Snapdragon Summit 2022 in Hawaii. This is the next iteration of its system-on-a-chip that will be used in many of next year’s best smartphones.

One of the key new features of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is Snapdragon Smart, which is powered by the most advanced Qualcomm AI engine. Thanks to Qualcomm’s Hexagon processor, users will get faster natural language processing with multilanguage translation, as well as even more advanced camera AI features. There are also new architectural upgrades to the Hexagon processor, including micro tile inferencing and a larger tensor accelerator, which means 4.35x better performance in AI processes.

Gaming will also be a very big deal with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. This new chip introduces real-time hardware-accelerated ray tracing for lifelike light, reflections, and illuminations for mobile titles. There’s then the upgraded Qualcomm Adreno GPU that grants 25% faster performance over the previous generation, and there’s also 40% more power efficiency with Qualcomm’s Kryo CPU. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 also provides the world’s first optimized support for Unreal Engine 5 Metahumans Framework.
