"Qualcomm claims the Wear Elite brings 5x CPU performance, up to 7x GPU improvement and 30% longer battery life when compared with the outgoing Snapdragon W5+ Gen 2 platform. Wear Elite is fabbed on a 3nm architecture and brings a five-core CPU with 1 prime core @2.1GHz and 4 performance cores @ 1.9GHz alongside a dedicated co-processor."
"This is Qualcomm's first Wear series platform with a dedicated Hexagon NPU designed for agentic AI assistants rated at 12 TOPS of performance and with support for 2B parameter models."
"On the connectivity side, Qualcomm is bringing 5G reduced capability (RedCap) support for low latency and extended battery life. The chip also features support for NB-NTN (Narrowband Non-Terrestrial Networks) in areas without cellular connectivity as well as Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, UWB and dual band GNSS positioning."
