Today Qualcomm is asserting the successor to final yr’s fairly profitable Snapdragon 765 line-up, a “premium” tier that the corporate had debuted, that includes the identical higher-end options as on the flagship Snapdragon 800 sequence, albeit at decrease performances.
The new Snapdragon 780G follows up on its predecessor with some giant upgrades by way of efficiency and multimedia capabilities, doubling up the variety of giant cores – growing GPU efficiency by important quantities, and that includes the brand new extra performant fused AI engine with the brand new Hexagon 770 DSP. Furthermore, digicam seize skills have additionally seen nice enhancements with the brand new Spectra 570 triple-ISP.

At coronary heart, the brand new Snapdragon 780G is a really totally different SoC to its predecessor because it adjustments up the CPU configuration fairly considerably. We’re transferring from a 1+1+6 config, to a more recent 1+3+four setup, together with a major Cortex-A78 core at 2.4GHz, three Cortex-A78 cores at 2.2GHz, and 4 Cortex-A55 cores at 1.9GHz. Qualcomm guarantees CPU uplifts of as much as 40% – the doubling of the massive cores in addition to the brand new microarchitecture employed ought to certainly provide increase in on a regular basis person expertise.
On the GPU facet, we’re seeing using a brand new Adreno 642. As ordinary Qualcomm doesn’t disclose a lot particulars on the design right here, however they disclose a generational efficiency uplift of as much as +50% over the Snapdragon 768G, which means over the 765G that ought to develop to +72%. Based on our previous benchmarks, this could find yourself with related efficiency because the Adreno 640 of the Snapdragon 855 flagship from a couple of years in the past – which means the GPU is seemingly aptly named by way of its efficiency.
Qualcomm is using its latest fused scalar+tensor+vector DSP and AI engine within the new Snapdragon 780G, which means it needs to be equal by way of its architectural design as the brand new unit on the Snapdragon 888, albeit at decrease efficiency ranges. Qualcomm advertises 12TOPs of AI efficiency throughout all of the IP blocks of the SoC, which is over 2x over that of the predecessor.
In phrases of DRAM, the SoC stays a 2x16b LPDDR4X-2133 design, which appears to be essential for price discount on this market phase.
A really giant improve in capabilities is discovered on the a part of the…
