Taking to its official website, Qualcomm proudly announces that its Snapdragon X75 chip is now a record holder. This modem chip currently holds the record for the fastest download speed on any mobile device. During its download speed tests, this device showed off a mind-blowing 7.5Gbps downlink speed.
At this speed, this new modem chip floors its predecessor as well as any other modem chip on the smartphone market. Currently, the Snapdragon X70 modem chip boasts 3.3Gbps in real-time usage. So the coming Snapdragon X75 chip is set for more than this download speed when it comes to flagship devices later this year.
This is a very impressive upgrade, one that Qualcomm is proud of, and it’ll also improve how consumers access the internet. However, its download speed is not the only area where this new modem is bringing notable upgrades. In this article, you’d get to find out places where this new modem is stepping up its game in the industry.
Asides from its download speed, the new Snapdragon X75 chip is the world’s first in other areas
To achieve this remarkable download speed, Qualcomm relied on the 300Mhz spectrum. This system runs on a single download connection with 1024QAM, four carrier aggregations, and four TDD channels. With this system combination, the new Snapdragon X75 chip is more efficient than its predecessor.
But aside from the faster download speed on this new modem chip, Qualcomm brings some other improvements. It highlights these improvements in three major areas, all bringing world’s first technology. The areas of improvement are the next-gen modem-RF system architecture, AI hardware acceleration, and better 5G performance and spectrum flexibility.
For its mmWave-sub6 modem-RF system architecture, the Snapdragon X75 is more efficient (cost and energy) and reduces board footprints. With this technology, OEMs can create better-performing 5G devices. Contributing to this improvement is the world’s first mmWave-sub6 converged transceiver and sensor-modem-RF solution for mmWave beam management.
In the AI department, this modem comes with the world’s first hardware accelerator for AI-enhanced 5G. This is an AI tensor accelerator that packs the 5G AI Processor Gen 2 and 5G AI Suite Gen 2 technology from Qualcomm. With all these features working together, the Snapdragon X75 chip offers massive AI improvements.
For better 5G performance, Qualcomm debuts the world’s first 256QAM 10CC mmWave solution. On the sub-6 GHz spectrum, it also brings the world’s first 5x carrier aggregation, 1024-QAM, and FDD UL-MIMO technology. With all these improvements coming, Qualcomm Snapdragon-powered devices will offer consumers a faster and more reliable internet connection.
