Qualcomm intros Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6: World's first 2 nm chips that break the 5 GHz barrier

[Redaktion]

Qualcomm has unveiled the 2 nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, promising 5 GHz Oryon Prime Core CPU speeds alongside major gains in graphics, AI, imaging, efficiency, and connectivity. The Extreme model adds enhanced on-device AI, dedicated Adreno High Performance Memory, Neural Fusion, and advanced 8K 60 video capture. Devices using both chips expected to arrive in the coming weeks.

Quotes Apple internalized some time ago to their increasing benefit, and something blogs like notebookcheck have let their readers down with by celebrating single digit gains as of they were significant;

�"The central problem of modern computer design is how to feed arithmetic units with operands fast enough. The arithmetic units can do billions of operations per second, but memory can deliver only tens of millions of words per second. Most of the complexity of modern computers is devoted to concealing this disparity."


�"For the past two decades, processors have gotten faster much more quickly than DRAMs. The result is that memory latency and bandwidth have become the primary bottleneck in system performance, a phenomenon often called the 'memory wall.' Modern microprocessors spend much of their time simply waiting for data to arrive from memory, making the memory hierarchy the dominant factor in modern system design."
