When we talk about Qualcomm very often we connect the company to smartphone processors only. It is important to know, however, that the US giant is also with its hands in the dough sector modem, headphones, albeit in terms of microprocessors. This means that most of the products in our home, even speakers and TVs potentially, are equipped with a company component. Today, the brand has great fanfare presented several products including Snapdragon X65 next-gen modem. Let's go see the details.
This is Qualcomm Snapdragon X65, the brand's new modem that promises speeds up to 10 Gbps on smartphones: never so powerful!
Snapdragon X65 is basically theheir to the current X60 that we begin to see in processor-based smartphones Snapdragon 888. Xiaomi Mi 11, OnePlus 9 and company are already equipped with the X60. This only means one thing: before we can see the X65 on our smartphones we should wait until next year. In fact, it will be in 2022 that the company will offer a more powerful processor than the Snapdragon 888 with this integrated modem. But having said that, let's understand what is so revolutionary about it.
La maximum download speed of 10 Gbps (compared to 7,5 Gbps on last year's model) is the spec that stands out the most. However it is "crap": no 5G network is yet capable of delivering that kind of throughput. However, this means that OEMs can make more and more efforts to improve the connectivity of their devices. Margin is always there, just take advantage of it.
Qualcomm claims that the Snapdragon X65 is the world's first smartphone modem with the 3GPP Release 16 support. What is it about? Of the so-called phase 2 of 5G, or that which it will make it possible to extend the use of next-generation connectivity to more sectors, such as commercial. The company reports that the architecture of the X65 modem is upgradeable and this will allow the company to add new features over time. In short, the devices will be supported for longer.
