Qualcomm Inc. is shifting its focus towards becoming a connected computing company, emphasizing AI-centric processors, as highlighted by CEO Cristiano Amon.

The new Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset features Qualcomm's Oryon CPU, previously used in PC chips, which promises enhanced performance and efficiency for mobile tasks.

The upcoming Magic7 series smartphones will introduce the industry's first on-device AI Agent, capable of executing tasks through simple voice or text prompts.

Early adopters of HONOR's AI technology have reported improvements in productivity and data security, showcasing the potential benefits of these innovations.

With a maximum clock speed of 4.32 GHz on two cores and up to 3.53 GHz on six smaller cores, this chipset is designed to deliver significant processing power.

The Adreno 830 GPU included in the chipset is expected to provide a 40% performance increase over its predecessor, supporting advanced graphics through Unreal Engine 5.3.

Qualcomm's AI Engine is capable of processing large and small models, supporting up to 70 tokens per second, which enhances its generative AI capabilities.

In addition to performance improvements, Qualcomm has launched a suite of AI-powered photography features that enhance autofocus capabilities for capturing fast-moving subjects.

These advancements in AI technology are part of a broader trend among smartphone manufacturers, including Google and Apple, who are integrating generative AI to attract consumers.

Qualcomm's collaboration with various partners aims to enhance on-device AI capabilities, focusing on accuracy, privacy, and security, particularly for enterprise users.

To support developers, Qualcomm plans to provide specialized tools that go beyond those currently available in Android, enabling them to leverage the new chip's capabilities.

Dr. Ray Guo, CMO of HONOR, emphasized the importance of collaboration with Qualcomm to revolutionize user experiences in the AI era.
