Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 doubles down on cameras and AI

The next-generation mobile processor that you'll most likely find in many of next year's major flagships is here. At its second annual tech summit today, Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon 845, which is its latest "premium" mobile CPU. The chipset will retain the same 10nm footprint as its predecessor, but feature revamped architecture that brings about new features like 4K HDR video capture on smartphones and improved AI processing. Qualcomm said it's focusing on AI, immersion, security and connectivity with the new chip. Immersion basically means the ability to capture and render the world around you at high resolutions and quality for more realistic results.
