Qualcomm’s new platform delivers Snapdragon 7c and 8c

Qualcomm’s newly announced compute platform aims to improve on the existing architecture with longer battery life, faster cellular connectivity and better all-round performance. It was designed with mobile computing in mind. This platform gave rise to the creation of teh Snapdragon 7c and 8c that will join the already launched, 8cx, a chip that will power laptops.

The Snapdragon 7c offers a 25% performance boost and nearly twice the battery compared to the competition. Its Snapdragon X15 LTE modem promises to deliver lightening fast connectivity speeds. The same is true of the 7nm Snapdragon 8c that is capable of delivering 30% better performance over the Snapdragon 850.

Qualcomm says the Snapdragon X24 LTE modem in the 8c allows for ‘multi-gigabit connectivity speeds for seamless cloud computing’. The company also suggests that the 8c’s performance will be extremely beneficial to machine learning applications. And its GPU can provide better graphics performance in a thin and fan-less design.

The Snapdragon 8cx and 8cx Enterprise Compute Platform will power Qualcomm’s laptop chips. Unlike the conventional processors from Intel and AMD, these Snapdragon chips will offer far superior battery life, always-connected internet connectivity, wrapped in a fan-less design.
