The technical details about Qualcomm’s new generation mobile processor Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 have begun to become clear. Positioned as a flagship chipset, the processor promises a significant leap in terms of performance and artificial intelligence power.

Features of the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 processor have been finalized

Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 is being developed with TSMC’s advanced 3nm N3P production process and is based on Qualcomm’s Oryon Gen 2 architecture, which focuses entirely on performance. The new generation processor offers a structure consisting of two high-frequency “prime” cores and six performance cores.

This configuration, which does not include energy efficiency cores, focuses directly on usage scenarios that require performance. According to leaked information, the Prime cores in the processor can reach up to 4.4 GHz frequency.

The most striking feature of the new chipset was the big leap made on the Hexagon NPU side. Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 features a new generation NPU that can perform 100 trillion operations per second (TOPS).

This figure was at 45 TOPS in the previous generation Snapdragon 8 Elite model. The increased processing power will offer significant advantages, especially in productive artificial intelligence applications and camera-based real-time analysis.

On the graphics processing unit side, there is the Adreno 840. The new GPU is supported by a 33 percent increased L2 cache. This technology is expected to make a difference to previous generations in terms of both gaming performance and energy efficiency.
