This year, the smartphone chip will be completed from the 10nm process to the 7nm process, the current Huawei Kylin 980 and Apple A12 chips have been formally met, although Qualcomm Next-generation 7NM technology chip has begun to develop, but its name has not been Disclosed. recently, the XDA developer found the Qualcomm Snapdragon Dragon 8150 chip in the Samsung Galaxy S9 not yet released Android 9.0 Pie Firmware. Foreign media speculation, The Dragon 8150 is likely to be the Qualcomm Snapdragon Dragon 845 Successor's official name, but not the rumor of the Dragon 855.
The latest evidence confirms this speculation, now Dragon 8150 has passed the Bluetooth SIG (bluetooth® technology Alliance) certification, codenamed SM8150. It is reported that the Dragon 8150 will be used 7nm FinFET process manufacturing, from TSMC foundry. Given that the first 5G handsets are coming out next year, many manufacturers are expected to choose to pair them with the X50 5G baseband.
previously, The 8150 prototype was awarded 3697 points in Geekbench's Single-core test and 10469 points in the multi-core benchmark Test. As a comparison, the Dragon 845 model run the best about the single core of 2400 points, 8900 points; Kirin 980 results for single core 3390, multi-core 10318. The Apple A12 can reach a single core of 4800 points, multi-core 11100 points.
According to other sources, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8150 is Qualcomm's first flagship chip with an independent NPU (neural network unit), which makes the AI computing capabilities of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8150 significantly higher, enabling faster machine learning Capabilities. Qualcomm 7NM Chip or named Dragon 8150, has passed the relevant certification
