Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Delivers More AI For Mobile

The Snapdragon Tech Summit is a multi-day event that showcases the latest mobile technology Qualcomm has to offer. This is the second year that Qualcomm has held simultaneous events in China and Hawaii, as well as streaming the keynote addresses. Day 1 of the Snapdragon Tech Summit kicked off with the introduction of the latest smartphone system-on-chip (SoC) for smartphones – the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. As expected, it delivers improvements in performance and efficiency for camera, connectivity, gaming, sound, and security. But the biggest punch comes from the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in just about every area. The company went so far as to call it "purpose built for AI." Qualcomm uses all of the Snapdragon SoC's processing elements for AI processing and calls the combination of these processing elements the "AI engine."
