Qualcomm’s next snapdragon mobile chip comes into focus with on-device AI

Qualcomm is taking an unusual approach to the launch of its next-generation premium Snapdragon mobile platform this year. Instead of holding everything for its annual Snapdragon Summit in Maui happening later this month, the company has been methodically disclosing the architecture that will power the next wave of flagship Android phones over the past couple of weeks. First, the company disclosed its new Oryon CPU architecture, followed by a major overhaul of its Adreno GPU.
