Qualcomm's Snapdragon 780G brings 5nm tech to affordable phones
Over the last year, Qualcomm's 7-series chips have enabled some of the best value phones. They tend to buckle under more processor-intensive tasks and, outside of the capable hands of Google, they haven't had delivered the best camera experiences. Qualcomm's latest 7-series chip, the Snapdragon 780G looks to address those issues. To start, it features new CPU and GPU components. In practice, Qualcomm says the 780G's Kyro 670 CPU runs 40 percent faster than the processor on its predecessor, the 768G. Any task involving an AI component will also get a boost from the 780G, thanks to its Hexagon 770 processor.
