The post Next Snapdragon Chip Leaks: The Upcoming Mobile CPU Is Packed with AI Power appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Qualcomm, a titan in the realm of high-end smartph0ne processors, is gearing up to unveil the third generation of its Snapdragon 8 chip. This announcement is particularly noteworthy given that its  current top-of-the-line predecessor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, currently holds the title of the second most powerful smartphone chip ever, according to Antutu benchmarks, bested only by the Dimensity 9200+ developed by Taiwanese manufacturer MediaTek. Expected to be unveiled officially on Tuesday, details of the new chip leaked online on Monday. The new chip promises not just enhanced performance but a significant leap in on-device AI capabilities, according to MS Poweruser. In addition to the expected incremental performance improvements—like a 25% faster GPU and a 30% faster CPU—the new system-on-a-chip (SoC) has a powerful AI engine capable of supporting high precision in local AI models, and can run local large-language models (LLMs) of over 10 billion parameters. The chip can even run the text-to-image model Stable Diffusion with the ControlNet neural network. Image: MSPoweruser Mobile hardware manufacturers are pivoting robustly towards AI. Google, for instance, has revamped its Tensor chips, equipping them to manage the myriad of AI features that the latest Pixel phones execute locally, bypassing the need for cloud processing. Similarly, Apple has upped its game with the A17 Pro SoC, enhancing its AI prowess. The advent of AI-capable chips in consumer devices heralds a transformative era in technology. These advanced processors, designed to run intricate AI models locally, hint at a future brimming with possibilities, from personalized chatbot assistants and hyper-realistic gaming experiences to real-time health monitoring and adaptive user interfaces. The promise of faster processing, coupled with better personalization and more privacy, positions these chips as the cornerstone of a future where our devices aren’t just smart, but intuitively attuned to our needs and preferences.…
