"In the AI-first world we live in, the Qualcomm Hexagon NPU, responsible for handling a lot of the AI load, had to get some upgrades. It now sports even more AI accelerators, enabling it to run 37% faster speeds and 16% better performance per watt, according to the company. This should enable it to run large language models (LLMs) on-device without sacrificing battery."
"Nearly every major smartphone launch in the past year has shared a common theme: the devices have an increasing amount of on-device, advanced AI features. These experiences are only made possible by the chipset powering the phone, and Qualcomm is making even more possible with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. On Wednesday, at Qualcomm's Snapdragon Summit, the company unveiled its newest mobile platform, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset."
Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 mobile platform with upgrades to CPU, GPU, and AI hardware to improve camera, gaming, and on-device intelligence. The chipset includes a 3rd-generation Qualcomm Oryon CPU with peak clock speeds up to 4.6GHz for faster multitasking, app launches, and gaming. A reference device scored 3786 single-core and 12094 multi-core on Geekbench 6. The Hexagon NPU adds AI accelerators, delivering 37% faster speeds and 16% better performance per watt to enable on-device large language models without sacrificing battery. The Sensing Hub and on-device features like a personal knowledge graph and Personal Scribe also received enhancements.
