Qualcomm . what's new and updated
understanding the difference in benefits and performance
Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors have been dominating the mobile industry for over a decade, delivering significant improvements in performance, power efficiency, and features with each new generation. The Snapdragon 888 is the latest flagship processor from Qualcomm, and it was launched in two generations: the Snapdragon 888 Gen 1 and Snapdragon 888 Gen 2. This article will provide a detailed comparison of these two generations of Snapdragon 888 and examine the differences and improvements in Qualcomm's flagship processors.
Architecture and Manufacturing Process
The Snapdragon 888 Gen 1 was launched in December 2020 and was based on the 5nm manufacturing process. It featured a Kryo 680 CPU with a clock speed of up to 2.84 GHz, an Adreno 660 GPU, and a Hexagon 780 processor for AI and machine learning. The Snapdragon 888 Gen 1 also introduced the Snapdragon X60 5G modem, which offered support for both Sub-6 GHz and mmWave frequencies.
The Snapdragon 888 Gen 2 was launched in September 2021 and was also based on the 5nm manufacturing process. It featured the same Kryo 680 CPU, Adreno 660 GPU, and Hexagon 780 processor as the Gen 1. However, it introduced the new Snapdragon X65 5G modem, which offered improved support for mmWave frequencies and faster download speeds.n conclusion, the Snapdragon 888 Gen 2 was a minor improvement over the Gen 1, with improvements in AI processing, power efficiency, camera processing, and connectivity. While the Gen 2 was not a major leap forward, it is still one of the most powerful and feature-rich mobile processors available today. The Snapdragon 888 Gen 1 was already an incredibly powerful processor, and the Gen 2 only made it slightly better.
The Snapdragon 888 is Qualcomm's flagship processor and is currently used in many high-end smartphones, including the Samsung Galaxy S21, OnePlus 9, and Xiaomi Mi 11. It is designed to offer the best possible performance and features for mobile devices,
However, it does have some strong rivals in the market. Let's take a look at some of the main competitors to the Snapdragon 888 Gen 2.
Apple A15 Bionic
The Apple A15 Bionic is the latest flagship processor from Apple, and it powers the iPhone 13 series. It was launched in September 2021 and is based on a 5nm manufacturing process. The A15 Bionic features a six-core CPU, with two high-performance cores and four efficiency cores. It also features a five-core GPU and a 16-core Neural Engine for machine learning and AI.
Performance
In terms of performance, both the Snapdragon 888 Gen 2 and Apple A15 Bionic are incredibly powerful processors. However, benchmarks have shown that the A15 Bionic offers slightly better single-core and multi-core performance compared to the Snapdragon 888 Gen 2. The A15 Bionic also offers improved machine learning performance, thanks to its 16-core Neural Engine.
Power Efficiency
The power efficiency of a mobile processor is crucial as it affects battery life. The Apple A15 Bionic is known for its excellent power efficiency, and it offers a longer battery life compared to the Snapdragon 888 Gen 2. This is partly due to Apple's tight integration of hardware and software, which allows for better optimization.
Features
The Apple A15 Bionic and Snapdragon 888 Gen 2 offer several features that are unique to each processor. The A15 Bionic features Apple's ProRAW technology, which allows users to capture RAW photos with greater control over editing. The A15 Bionic also supports Apple's MagSafe technology, which enables faster wireless charging and improved accessories.
The Snapdragon 888 Gen 2, on the other hand, offers improved camera processing with the Spectra 580 ISP, which provides better HDR capabilities and support for up to three cameras at once. The Gen 2 also introduced support for Qualcomm's Quick Charge 5 technology, which can charge a device from 0 to 50% in just 15 minutes.
Samsung Exynos 2200
The Samsung Exynos 2200 is the latest flagship processor from Samsung and powers the upcoming Galaxy S22 series. It was launched in October 2021 and is based on a 4nm manufacturing process. The Exynos 2200 features a tri-cluster CPU, with two high-performance cores, two performance cores, and four efficiency cores. It also features an AMD RDNA2-based GPU and a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for machine learning and AI.
