Hello Guys! the annual Snapdragon Technology Summit Early morning of December 2 Qualcomm officially released a new generation of mobile flagship platform, Qualcomm's first 5nm 5G SoC is finally here The name is not the usual Snapdragon 875 But the brand new Snapdragon 888, officially released You read that right, this 888 is nothing The spam messages of Macau casinos are not scumbag marketing advertisements. They are really called Xiaolong 888. All the media speculated that Xiaolong 875 before, but Qualcomm will not continue. So called, Qualcomm is explaining why this generation of chips is named Snapdragon 888 instead of Snapdragon 875 The reason is that in China, 888 is a very lucky number.
This Qualcomm's first 5nm 5G SoC system single chip Its artificial intelligence computing power reached 26 TOPS, aspiring for mobile chips GPU graphics processor performance increased by 35% Image signal processing ISP can process 2.7 billion pixels per second Support 120 frames per second And each frame of 12 million pixel video shooting And, Snapdragon 888 Integrated X60 5G baseband, Qualcomm's first 5nm SoC with integrated baseband design Once the external baseband was frequently complained by friends Today, friends and businessmen will be disappointed Following the successive release of three 5nm SoCs, Huawei Kirin 9000, Apple A14, and Samsung Exynos 1080 The performance of Qualcomm's 5nm top brand has become the focus of attention in the industry Samsung Orion Exynos 1080 is said to be specially built for the Chinese market And Qualcomm's latest SoC is named after 888 with Chinese characteristics.
It seems that overseas mobile chip giants all attach great importance to the Chinese market However, who is the strongest 5nm chip? This question, Qualcomm does not currently give a specific answer This Qualcomm Technology Summit adopted the form of online recording for the first time In the opening hour, no one saw the protagonist Xiaolong 888 of this conference. One hour later, the protagonist appears But Qualcomm only gave a summary introduction to its main features Did not expand in detail And didn’t compare with friends And the conference is not over yet Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun has already rushed on Weibo and announced that Xiaomi will make the world premiere of Snapdragon 888 visible Mobile phone manufacturers can't wait to use this 5nm 5G SoC exclusive to the Android camp.
Then What other black technologies are there in Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 888? What valuable information was released at the conference Let us analyze one by one Qualcomm President said in the opening 5G is a technological change once in a decade 5G has become the main factor considered by half of consumers when switching phones Qualcomm expects Global 5G smartphone shipments will reach 450-550 million units in 2021 At present, there are more than 700 5G terminals equipped with Snapdragon Qualcomm R&D investment in mobile technology has exceeded $66 billion Qualcomm attaches great importance to the development of mobile image processing technology Accumulate in the ISP field of image signal processing of mobile phone.
SoC system single chip Such a rare joke In fact, Qualcomm is a camera company According to industry information Snapdragon 888 has a high probability of adopting ARM just released Cortex-A78, Cortex-X1 CPU core and Mali-G78 graphics processor core in May of this year According to the already announced GeekBench running points to see Snapdragon 888's single-core CPU score is about 1120 points Multi-core score is about 3400 points However, the tested products are all engineering machines, and the running points are for reference only Generally mass production models will be higher.
It has a total of 8 cores with a 1+3+4 design Each with a main frequency of 2.84GHz X1 performance super core Three clocked at 2.42GHz A78 big core And four small A55 cores clocked at 1.8GHz Kirin 9000 uses A77 core CPU processor The main frequency of the big core has reached 3.13GHz But the CPU single-core score is still not as good as Snapdragon 888 As can be seen The performance improvement brought by the new A78 architecture is still very obvious There is public information display Snapdragon 888 graphics processor in Geekbench 5 The score in the OpenCL test for graphics processor performance is about 4450 points Compared with the previous generation of Snapdragon 865 graphics processor,
the performance is improved by about 35% It can be said that the toothpaste burst At present, artificial intelligence performance has become one of the focuses of competition for mobile phone SoC This time Snapdragon 888 uses the sixth-generation artificial intelligence engine Contains the new Hexagon processor Artificial intelligence computing power It is said to reach 26 TOPS Is currently the highest artificial intelligence computing power among released mobile phones In terms of communication capabilities Snapdragon 888 integrates Qualcomm's latest 5nm X60 5G baseband Support millimeter wave 5G Qualcomm especially emphasizes This is a product for the global market It can support all major global millimeter wave and Sub-6GHz frequency bands, as well as 5G carrier aggregation, global multi-SIM function, SA/NSA networking, and dynamic spectrum sharing DSS now Whether a mobile phone's camera performance is powerful or not is determined by the ISP image signal processing unit in the SoC Artificial intelligence module.
computing power Lens module Image processing algorithm and other factors jointly determine The ISP unit is undoubtedly a key part of image data processing The ISP of Snapdragon 888 can process 2.7 billion pixels per second Compared with Snapdragon 865 performance improved by 35% It is said to be able to shoot 120 frames per second And each frame of video with 12 million pixels. Game performance is also one of the most important aspects of mobile SoC Nearly 1 billion people currently play games on smartphones Mobile games have accounted for more than half of the revenue of the entire game market in 2019 On last year's Snapdragon 865 Qualcomm takes.
the lead in realizing the mobile graphics processor driver upgrade function Mobile phones equipped with this platform can be upgraded online through OTA driven by the graphics processor Get graphics processing performance improvements Even get some new rendering features The Snapdragon 888 is equipped with the third-generation Elite Gaming game engine And benefit from 35% graphics processor performance improvement The gaming experience will be better Qualcomm Technology Conference The most interesting scene is that the press conference has just been halfway through Snapdragon 888 has not yet appeared Lei Jun has already announced on Weibo that Xiaomi will make the world's first Snapdragon 888. Xiaomi has always been a die-hard user of Qualcomm Since the first generation of Xiaomi mobile phones, it has been in the Qualcomm camp. 10 years have passed. As Lei Jun said,
what kind of spark will Xiaomi's next-generation flagship mobile phone and Snapdragon 888 create? It is worth looking forward to In addition to Xiaomi’s first launch of Snapdragon 888 this time OPPO, vivo, realme, Meizu, Black Shark ZTE, Nubia Lenovo Android manufacturers such as ASUS, LG, Motorola and Sharp will successively launch flagship Android phones equipped with Snapdragon 888 MediaTek Although temporarily absent from the 5nm mobile phone SoC battle.
But the news was also released in early November Said its first 6nm SoC will be released soon It also uses Arm’s latest A78 core The main frequency is up to 3.0GHz Allegedly Performance is comparable to Qualcomm's previous flagship Snapdragon 865 In addition Samsung Exynos 1080 is only a mid-to-high-end product of its 5nm series and is exclusively for the Chinese market, not a flagship SoC chip According to supply chain sources Next year's Orion Exynos 2100 will be Samsung's 5nm highlight There are supply chain sources saying The price of the released Snapdragon 888 chipset may be around $220 It should be said that it is a relatively luxurious configuration By contrast.
The cost of Apple's A14 chip is about $40 Plus X55 baseband composition The price of the chipset is only around $130 but After a wave of price increases by various Android manufacturers in 2020 Flagship phones have broken through the 4000 or even 5000 yuan mark therefore The first batch of flagship mobile phones to release Snapdragon 888 in China should not have much change in price After all, the flagship of around 4,000 yuan is the home of Android Thanks to Samsung's 5nm process, the use of new ARM architecture and Qualcomm's own design tuning The new generation of Snapdragon 888 in the CPU central processing unit GPU graphics processor artificial intelligence Important modules such as image signal processor ISP have obvious performance improvements In this year's 5nm mobile phone SoC battle It can be said that Qualcomm has temporarily gained a foothold The first half of next year will be a period of large-scale landing of Snapdragon 888 At that time, Samsung may also release.
its own 5nm flagship Orion Exynos 2100, MediaTek will also have new actions 5nm chip battle Maybe it's only getting better in 2021 Now, Apple has relied on mobile chips The advantages of ultra-high performance enter the desktop It is likely to rewrite the PC processor market pattern in the next few years Qualcomm has already released SoC system single chip for desktop But has been mediocre Will Qualcomm follow in Apple's footsteps and make more bold attempts How will Huawei, MediaTek and Samsung make their own choices? The mobile chip market in 2021 may be full of surprises and uncertainties. so All right Thank Guys!
