Industry Voices--Gold: Qualcomm gets Hyper with Snapdragon 888

Qualcomm just announced its latest premium mobile processor, the Snapdragon 888. This 5 nm chip, rumored to be made at a Samsung facility, provides multiple levels of improvement in central processing power, high end graphics that approach the capabilities of a gaming console. There are also camera improvements that threaten stand-alone DSLR, and AI functions that enhance and protect camera still and video images from "Deep Fakes" while also providing big improvements in AI inference workloads. And, of course, it runs on 5G networks, along with supporting faster Wi-Fi 6 and 6E capability. One feature that stands out for me seems to be buried in most coverage of the 888 processor and has the potential for dramatically changing the way mobile devices work, as well as enhancing security well beyond where we are today.
