Qualcomm, the American semiconductor and telecommunications equipment company, has recently revealed its latest chipset, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2. The new chip promises significant performance improvements over its predecessor, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1.

According to Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 SoC (system-on-chip) improves performance by up to 50% over the previous generation. This is achieved through a combination of hardware and software optimizations, including a faster CPU and GPU, as well as improved AI and machine learning capabilities.

One of the key features of the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 is its new Kryo 670 CPU, which is based on the latest ARM Cortex-A77 architecture. This CPU promises up to 20% better performance than the previous generation, while also being more power-efficient. The new Adreno 642L GPU also promises improved graphics performance, making it ideal for gaming and other graphics-intensive applications.

In addition to the CPU and GPU improvements, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 also includes an improved AI Engine. This engine includes the latest Hexagon 692 DSP, which provides up to 2x the AI performance of the previous generation. This means that the new chip can handle more complex AI and machine learning tasks, such as natural language processing and image recognition.

Qualcomm has also made improvements to the connectivity capabilities of the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2. The chip now supports 5G and Wi-Fi 6, which offer faster download and upload speeds, as well as improved reliability and range.

Several device manufacturers have already confirmed that they will be using the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 in their upcoming products. These include Motorola, Oppo, and Xiaomi, among others. It is expected that these devices will be available to consumers later this year.
