Qualcomm announced its latest chipset today, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3. The platform comes as an evolution of the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 sharing its single prime Cortex-X4 core for the CPU and on-device AI capabilities with the flagship 8 series. The new chip promises 15% improved CPU and 45% improved Adreno GPU compared to its predecessor as well a 5% reduction in power consumption. This is the first chip in the Snapdragon 7-series to have on device generative AI capabilities. It supports a wide range of LLMs (large…

Qualcomm on Monday announced the launch of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, the company's latest flagship-grade chipset that is equipped with several on-device artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. The new 4nm chipset arrives as a more affordable version of the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip that was launched in October last year and sits above the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, the company's flagship chip from 2022. It offers some hardware features from the company's flagship processor, along with support for high-speed…

Smartphones are getting increasingly powerful and there don’t seem to be many apps that can choke modern flagships. While the industry is looking towards even higher scores on benchmark apps, Google has reportedly seen the capable chips in a different way, that might actually bring value to users’ regular usage. You may already know that the Google Pixel 8 Pro and the Galaxy S24 series have some innovative and helpful AI features. Google even stressed the Pixel 8 Pro’s capability to run some relatively large AI models…

Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to be the most important thing happening in tech, including smartphones. There’s increased talk about on-device AI capabilities for mobile devices, as phones are powerful enough to run some generative AI features locally without connecting to the cloud. You’ll need a high-end or flagship handset for on-device AI. But even then, you might not actually get that sort of generative AI experience. Sadly, the Pixel 8 is the best example of that.  It’s a Google phone that runs…

Qualcomm showcased AI running natively on all kinds of devices at the ongoing MWC 2024 expo in Barcelona, Spain. It also displayed all the AI-related solutions it developed over the past year. It also showcased all the commercially available products that are using Qualcomm's solutions to offer AI features. Qualcomm AI Hub supports 75+ AI models, making it easier for developers to integrate them into apps The US-based chip giant unveiled Qualcomm AI Hub. It contains a library of pre-0ptimized AI models for seamless…

Qualcomm has showcased a range of new generative artificial intelligence (AI) features for Android smartphones at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 event. These features will be powered by Snapdragon and Qualcomm platforms and will be entirely within the device. Besides unveiling a dedicated large language model (LLM) for multimodal responses and an image generation tool, the company also added more than 75 AI models that can be used by developers to build specific apps.In a post, Qualcomm announced all the AI features…

Furthermore, the models are refined to make the best use of all the cores found within the Qualcomm AI Engine, including the NPU, CPU, and GPU, resulting in better power efficiency, lower memory utilization, and up to four times inferencing speeds, according to the company's Monday release. The advantage of on-device AI, in addition to overall increased application performance, is that by forgoing any friction with the cloud, there is increased privacy, which is especially important when creating models that use…

Lenovo plans to dominate the AI-powered laptops segment and make local, on-device AI PCs not just a possibility but also easily accessible to all. The push towards AI integration rises from the fact that traditional hardware upgrades alone are no longer sufficient to captivate consumers…
