The announcement of Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 is the same super-chip that promises to be a hit

Qualcomm introduced Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 – a new sub-flagship chipset (4 nm, TSMC), which has every chance of becoming a favorite

public.The fact is that, as rumors said, this is the already familiar excellent top chip Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 with slightly lower frequencies, which means less prone to throttling. Thus, the Cortex X2 super-core operates at a frequency of 2.91 GHz (was 3.2 GHz), the three productive Cortex A710 cores reach 2.49 GHz (was 2.75 GHz), and the energy-efficient Cortex A510 – 1.8 GHz (was 2). .0 GHz). According to the company's calculations, the CPU is new50% more powerfulSnapdragon 7 Gen 1.

The graphics accelerator (GPU) also lowered its frequencies and now operates at 580 MHz (was 900 MHz), and also changed its name to Adreno 725. But even in this form ittwiceexceeds the capabilities of GPUs from 7 Gen 1.Triple Spectra's 18-bit ISP (Image Processor) supports cameras up to 200MP and is capable of recording 4K HDR video. The wireless suite includes FastConnect 6900 (Wi-Fi 6 and 6E, Bluetooth 5.3 LE) and Snapdragon X62 5G modem with speeds up to 4.4 Gbps (including mmWave and sub-6 GHz).

But with the naming Qualcomm, of course, surprisedafter all, the chip was expected under the name 7+ Gen 1 or at least 7 Gen 2, but not 7+ Gen 2, which now does not even have a predecessor without a “plus”. Smartphones based on Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 will appear on the market in the next 2-3 weeks, with Realme (GT Neo 5 SE) and Redmi (Note 12T) being the first in this field. Looking forward to!
