Today alongside with the launch of the Xiaomi Redmi Ok30 5G Racing Edition, Qualcomm is asserting the brand new Snapdragon 768G SoC which powers the gadget. The new SoC is a direct follow-up to the Snapdragon 765G introduced final December, and the 2 chips are very doubtless the identical silicon design, with the brand new variant rising the clock frequencies.

The new chip options the identical Cortex-A76 cores in a 1+1 configuration (one Prime high-clocked core, and one medium clocked core), alongside 6 Cortex-A55 cores. The distinction in CPU efficiency lies within the frequencies of the massive cores which are actually at as much as 2.8GHz and a pair of.4GHz for the Performance and Middle core – a extra notable uplift from the two.four and a pair of.2GHz clocks of the Snapdragon 765G.
GPU clock frequencies have additionally been elevated, leading to at 15% efficiency increase over the Snapdragon 765.
The remainder of the chip is seemingly similar to the Snapdragon 765 sequence. What’s attention-grabbing right here is that Qualcomm does identify it fairly in another way in its SKU line-up. While it very a lot shares the design of the Snapdragon 765, it’s additionally a chance that it’s a silicon respin of the chip, the timelines definitely would make sense and it’s additionally not the primary time that Qualcomm would have executed this (Snapdragon 821 is an instance of this). If the elevated clocks come at a value of upper energy draw or lack of effectivity is anyone’s guess proper now – there’s additionally the likelihood that yields on Samsung’s 7LPP node has improved and thus enabled the upper frequencies.
