Qualcomm's Next Gen Snapdragon 8 Elite with Oryon CPU Cores Announced

At Snapdragon Summit, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. unveiled the Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform, the most powerful and world's fastest mobile system-on-a-chip ever. Our flagship mobile platforms are now taking on the Elite name, showcasing the remarkable progress it represents for the industry. This platform debuts industry leading technologies such as the second generation custom-built Qualcomm Oryon CPU, Qualcomm Adreno GPU and enhanced Qualcomm Hexagon NPU, all of which deliver game changing performance improvements.

These innovations empower the Snapdragon 8 Elite to transform user experiences with their devices - making on-device multi-modal generative AI applications a reality on smartphones powered by Snapdragon. These technologies also fuel many other experiences across camera capabilities, with our most powerful AI-ISP, as well as next level gaming, super-fast web browsing and more.
"We are so excited to bring the power of Qualcomm Oryon to our Snapdragon mobile platforms for the first time. Earlier this year we debuted it in PCs, delivering remarkable experiences and unparallel battery life to PC users, energizing the industry and getting the attention of consumers. Today, our second generation of the Qualcomm Oryon CPU debuts in our flagship Mobile Platform - it's a major leap forward and we expect consumers to be thrilled with the new experiences enabled by our CPU technology" said Chris Patrick, senior vice president and general manager of mobile handsets, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

"With leading CPU, GPU and NPU capabilities, the Snapdragon 8 Elite delivers dramatic performance enhancements and power efficiency 3. In addition, it revolutionizes mobile experiences by offering personalized, multi-modal generative AI directly on the device enabling the understanding of speech, context, and images to enhance everything from productivity to creativity tasks while prioritizing user privacy."

I wonder how they arranged the clusters in that CPU. The desktop/laptop model has quad-core clusters, and only boosts up to 2 cores at once.

Their phrasing makes it should like those "performance" cores live in their own cluster, while the other "prime" cores live in another cluster.
Has it been confirmed that it's an 8-core design with 2+6 config?

That's a huge claim. They've been way behind Apple for years. I'll believe it when independent reviews confirm it.

4.32 GHz for the two big cores and 3.53 GHz for the six smaller cores apparently, so yes, a 2+6 design.

Hard to compare Apples to Qualcomms though, since the OS is different and affects performance. They should've written the fastest mobile SoC ever for Android.

There's currently a live stream going on from the Snapdragon Summit 2024, but it's quite boring...

Then I'm still curious as how they arrenged the clusters in that, and the difference between those cores (if any). I guess we need to wait and see.

This core is a Qcom/Nuvia project, not an ARM design.

Recording video 4k@120. Ok, but..Huh, Qualcomm silently cut 8k video recording or what?

Probably a typo or translation error a camera doesn’t do playback so it’s probably recording

It's already been suggested elsewhere, where it's been noted that it's probably true, and that the refusal to record in 8k resolution is due to overheating concerns. This system on a chip is already heavily overclocked out of the box and probably quite hot.
