This year, Qualcomm changed the naming method of processors. It is no longer the previous Qualcomm Snapdragon 8xx, 7xx, 6xx, and 4xx, but instead has independent Snapdragon and changed the format to Snapdragon 8, 7, 6, and 4, followed by Genx, which is similar to the naming of Qualcomm laptop processors. Since the name has just been changed, there are not many models that use the new naming method, especially the Snapdragon 6 Gen1 and Snapdragon 4 Gen1. The phones equipped with them will not be available for the end of the year, so everyone does not know much about these chips. Let’s take a look at these chips together, which one is the first generation of God U.
is first of all Snapdragon 8 Gen1. This chip is positioned as a flagship and is also the processor with the most models used in Qualcomm's new named processor. It uses the latest ARM V9 architecture, has one X2 super-large core + three A710 large cores + four A510 small cores, is equipped with the latest Adreno 730 GPU, and is built using the Samsung 4nm process. Its performance is very strong, surpassing Apple A14, and the GPU can surpass the residual blood Apple A15 equipped with iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini. However, since the ARM A710 architecture is not performing well enough, the actual performance of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is slightly lower than that of the theoretical data.
followed by Snapdragon 7 Gen1, which is positioned at the sub-high-end level. Currently, OPPO Reno8 Pro and Xiaomi Civi 2 are used. It also uses the latest ARM V9 architecture, built by Samsung's 4nm process. However, since the Snapdragon 7 Gen1 uses an architecture combination of four A710 large cores + four A510 small cores, it is the processor that has the most impact on the ARM A710 architecture. The actual performance is only comparable to that of Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G Plus, and the improvement in all aspects is not very obvious.
As for Snapdragon 6 Gen1, the processor is also Samsung's 4nm process, but it uses four A78 large cores + four A55 small cores architectures, and does not use the latest ARM V9 architecture, so the processor will perform very well. It is used on mid-range machines. It can not only provide good performance, but also have low power consumption. This may be the God U this year. Finally, there is the Snapdragon 4 Gen1, which uses dual A78 large cores + six A55 small cores, and is built using TSMC's 6nm process. It will promote the popularization of entry-level 5G phones, and its performance can also meet the needs of daily use.
Overall, Qualcomm's positioning this year is very accurate, but due to the overturn of A710 in the ARM V9 architecture, the actual performance of its Snapdragon 8 Gen1 and Snapdragon 7 Gen1 is slightly lower than the theoretical data. However, the performance of Snapdragon processors has been greatly improved this year. Snapdragon 8 Gen1 can already compete with Apple . Snapdragon 6 Gen1 has become four major cores. These can get a smoother and faster user experience for consumers.
