This new chip is designed to support multi-modal generative AI applications, enabling devices to process text, photos, videos, and audio for enhanced context-aware assistance.

Both versions of the Snapdragon 8 Elite will feature the Adreno 830 GPU and are manufactured using TSMC's cutting-edge 3nm process.

Generative AI will play a crucial role in reducing GPU load, which in turn will lower temperature and power usage while enhancing image quality.

Qualcomm's recent hiring of former Apple engineers has led to the development of laptop chips that now support AI features in Microsoft Windows.

Additionally, Qualcomm has launched a suite of AI-powered photography features aimed at capturing fast-moving subjects with improved autofocus capabilities.

Qualcomm's CEO, Cristiano Amon, highlighted the company's transition into a connected computing powerhouse, focusing on AI-centric processors.

To further leverage the capabilities of the Snapdragon 8 Elite, Qualcomm plans to provide software developers with specialized tools beyond those currently available in Android.

Qualcomm has unveiled the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which boasts a remarkable 45% increase in CPU performance and a 44% improvement in power efficiency compared to its predecessors.

At the Snapdragon Summit 2024, HONOR showcased its vision for an AI-first ecosystem, introducing new AI features for its Magic7 Series.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset is set to enhance mobile features, including AI-driven photo-editing tools and improved gaming experiences.

The company also announced support for Unreal Engine 5.3, which will enhance graphics for games through improved geometry and physics simulations.

This trend of integrating generative AI is not limited to Qualcomm; other smartphone manufacturers like Google, Samsung, and Apple are also incorporating similar features to attract consumers.
