Discussion Qualcomm Snapdragon Thread

[soresu]

A lot of people got burned by netbooks when Intel licensed an Imagination GPU for a bunch of Atoms, then promptly abandoned all driver support for it. Then, when it came time to upgrade Windows XP, they never supplied an accelerated driver, leaving it only able to run the compatibility one.

Ooooof ye, that would do it.

GPU looks weak and not optimised for compute and AI.

Well LNL had PMIC, didn't exactly help Intel avoid reducing boost clocks on battery to hit the battery life targets.

That one wasn't fancy enough.

It's Adreno what did you expect?
Until they bootleg amdgcn, they won't be able to run Actual Real Video Games.

Have to wait for reviews to see how they actually do relatively to competition. Availability is supposedly H1 2026

No wonder there’s no comparisons to Apple’s M4 Max cause it already beats the X2 Extreme.

 

[poke01]

Last time they were like look much better we were than M2 Max in every slide and reference lol

Interesting. How are they achieving 9523 MT/s speeds?

 

[adroc_thurston]

How are they achieving 9523 MT/s speeds?

By using 9600 ICs.

They realised that they had greatly disgraced themselves with their past statements.

 

[Joe NYC]

By using 9600 ICs.

Interesting that AMD could not get 8533 working, had to downclock it to 8000. Qualcomm too, with previous version of Snapdragon. And now, all of the sudden, they can reach ~9600?

 

[adroc_thurston]

Pretty sure AMD shipped 8533 Stx/krk platforms already.

Qualcomm too, with previous version of Snapdragon.

They didn't, they shipped 7500 at 7446 exactly.

And now, all of the sudden, they can reach ~9600?

Yeah that's normal.
All of the sudden Venice goes from 6400 of Turin to 12800 of Venice. magick!

 

[poke01]

Yeah, it’s very good platform. Panther lake won’t even come close to this and Nova lake isn’t till late 2026.

 

[adroc_thurston]

Panther lake won’t even come close to this and Nova lake isn’t till late 2026.

NVL's not gonna touch datboi either.

 

[Joe NYC]

Nice, I haven't seen those yet.

They didn't, they shipped 7500 at 7446 exactly.

Ok. BTW, what was the original claim of previous version of Snapdragon? Wasn't it higher than that?

Yeah that's normal.
All of the sudden Venice goes from 6400 of Turin to 12800 of Venice. magick!

That's different, they are doubling the data rate as opposed to increasing the speed. But 6400 is nice for Venice.

 

[adroc_thurston]

Nice, I haven't seen those yet.

Soon™.

no it isn't they're both DDR memories wtaf are you on.
