Today QuickLuck is announcing the successor to last year’s highly successful Snapdragon 765 line-up, which the company premium, featuring similar high-distance features to the proposed Snapdragon 800 series.
The new Snapdragon 780G follows its predecessor with some major upgrades in terms of performance and multimedia capabilities, doubling the number of large cores – significantly increasing GPU performance, and featuring a new more performance fused AI engine with the new Hexagon 770. DSP. Moreover, the new Spectra 570 has also seen major improvements in camera capture capabilities with triple-ISP.

At heart, the new Snapdragon 780G is a very different SOC to its predecessor as it changes the CPU configuration quite significantly. We are moving from the 1 + 1 + 6 profile, to the new 1 + 3 + 4 setup, which includes the Prime Cortex-A78 core at 2.4GHz, three Cortex-A78 cores at 2.2GHz and four Cortex-A55 cores. 1.9GHz. Qualcomm promises to offer CPU uplifts of up to 40% – doubling the large cores as well as employing new microarchitectures to really enhance the everyday user experience.
GPU Side, we are seeing the use of the new Adreno 642. Normally Qucomcom does not disclose more details on the design here, but they do reveal a pay generation performance uplink of up to 50% on the Snapdragon 768G, i.e. should increase from 765G to + 72%. Based on our previous benchmarks, this should end with a similar performance, such as the Snapdragon 855 flagship Adreno 640 a few years ago – meaning the GPU is aptly named in terms of its performance.
Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 780G features its new fused scalar + tensor + vector DSP and AI. Uses the engine, i.e. it should be identical in terms of its architectural design as the new unit on the Snapdragon 888, however, at a lower performance level. Qualcomm announces 12 tips of AI performance in all IP blocks of the society, which is more than 2x more than the predecessor.
In terms of DRAM, the SOC 2x16B has been the LPDDR4X-2133 design, which seems crucial to reduce costs in this market segment.
A very large upgrade in capabilities is seen on the part of the camera ISPS. Again, like the DSP, the new design comes with the same new IP architecture employed in the Snapdragon 888, using a new Triple Spectra 570 block capable of simultaneously operating three RGB camera sensors. 192 MP capture is possible for single modules (with shutter leg), or in terms of zero shutter leg operation operation we can see either 1x 84 MP, 64 + 20 MP or 3x 25 MP sensor configuration. In terms of video encoding, we don’t see many changes mentioned compared to the predecessor so we assume that the video capture capabilities are the same.
What is very interesting about the new design and what to say about the huge market on a large scale, is the fact that the new part will no longer announce the MMwave capability on the part of its modem. The new X53 modem seems to have cut this feature from its special sheet. In general, the MMWave remains a highly specialized feature that is currently available globally in the U.S. No. Widely deployed in some select cities. Given that Sox has targeted devices at a low price point, and we’ve seen some extremely cheap Snapdragon 765 phones in the past year, MMV Wave capabilities are probably the opposite for the market segment that targets these phones – sellers always have the highest potential. Is. End solutions like the Snapdragon 870 if they want to incorporate MMWave connectivity.
Finally, the new SOC is built on Samsung’s 5 LPE process node, an upgrade over last year’s Snapdragon 765’s 7LPP node. While the node does not seem as promising as the 5nm node of TSMC, it is functioning. The Society is definitely positive in this price category and should show significant advantage over its predecessor.
Qualcomm plans to bundle the Snapdragon 780G SC with the FastConnect 6900 Wi-Fi chips, which feature Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, hopefully signaling a widespread spread of adoption of the new 6GHz spectrum technology.
The Snapdragon 780G is expected to see deployment in commercial devices in the second quarter of 2021.
