Principal Analyst, Mobility & VR, Anshel Sag analyzes the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Snapdragon X Elite SoCs and predicts their impact on AI-driven mobile devices and PCs.
This last year has been a whirlwind of both hype and reality for AI, with nearly everyone in the tech industry talking about it. While there is no doubt that companies have doubled down on their AI efforts, many of their advances would simply be impossible without the efforts of chip companies like AMD, Intel, MediaTek, Nvidia and Qualcomm.
Speaking of AI, the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 doubles down on the last generation’s huge improvements. Qualcomm’s investments in AI hardware go back many years so that now nearly every component in a Snapdragon SoC has some sort of integrated AI capabilities. Naturally this includes the CPU, GPU and neural processing unit, but it also extends to the ISP, modem and sensor hub.
Qualcomm continued the comparisons on the GPU, claiming a 2x faster GPU than the i7 13800H from Intel while also using 74% less power at equal performance. Qualcomm also compared the Snapdragon X Elite against AMD’s Ryzen 9 7940HS, claiming 80% faster GPU performance at ISO power and 80% less power consumption versus the competition at the same performance.
