On June 4, the news from Evan Blass (Evan Blass, Evan Blass), the first elder brother, exposed the Qualcomm SoC specification code named SM8450, which is the standard SoC for Android flagship next year. It is expected that the CPU will not improve significantly, but the GPU performance may soar. Considering the magical naming of Snapdragon 888 at the end of last year, it is still uncertain how Qualcomm will finally name it. Let's call Snapdragon 895 first.
Of course, it does not rule out the possibility of being called Xiaolong 999, and netizens' comments are also reasonable: "Because 888 has a fever, use 999 Cold Spirit to cure it". Ganmaoling may become the biggest winner.
Qualcomm SM8450 will be based on the 4nm process. It is expected to be Samsung OEM, and the level is expected to be close to the 5nm of this generation of TSMC.
The CPU part will be upgraded to Kryo 780 based on the ArmV9 architecture, and the GPU code will be suddenly increased to Adreno 730. The rest will also include the PoP encapsulated LPDDR5 memory, Spectra 680 ISP, Adreno 665 VPU (video processing unit), and Adreno 1195 DPU (display processing unit). Integrated Snapdragon X65 5G baseband and RF system. The FastConnect 6900 is still used, so WiFi, Bluetooth and other parts should not be changed.
The CPU of the SM8450 should be 1xX2+3xA710+4xA510. Directly report the prediction conclusion that there is not much performance improvement (Android users cry bitterly).
The ArmV9 architecture released on March 31 is the biggest innovation of the ARM CPU in recent years, but it is mainly aimed at the energy efficiency ratio, safety and AI performance. The performance that people care most about is the small core A510:
X2 is 16% better than X1, and machine learning performance is twice better
A710 (A78 replacement), performance increased by 10%, energy efficiency increased by 30% (under the condition of same energy);
The A510 (A55 replacement) improves performance by 10% under the same power consumption, reduces power consumption by 20% under the same power consumption, and improves machine learning by three times. It also claims a 10% increase over the A73 core in 2017.
The biggest improvement of Qualcomm SM8450 may be the Adreno 730 GPU. After all, this code name improvement is obvious. The last major change in Qualcomm's naming has been the era from Snapdragon 835 to Snapdragon 845 (2018). Subsequently, the Adreno 600 series code maintained the habit of "increasing by 10 every year" until 2021. The GPU performance of the Android camp can tell how long Qualcomm has been crowded with toothpaste, from being 50% open to the Apple A series to being dumped several streets now. For reference:
Snapdragon 800/801 series is Adreno 330
The GPU of Snapdragon 810 is Adreno 430
Snapdragon 820/821 series is Adreno 530
The GPU of Snapdragon 835 is Adreno 540
The GPU of Snapdragon 845 is Adreno 630
The GPU of Snapdragon 855 is Adreno 640
The GPU of Snapdragon 865 is Adreno 650
The GPU of Snapdragon 888 is Adreno 660

Finally, I hope the next generation of flagship can conquer the original god
