Official news: Next generation Qualcomm SOC will use 7nm process, will support 5G

"On August 22, Qualcomm announced that its next-generation flagship mobile platform will be a system on chip (SOC) using a 7-nm process and will support 5g functions. Qualcomm said that the flagship mobile platform can be matched with Qualcomm snapdragon X50 5g modem; Therefore, it will become a mobile platform for high-end smart phones and other mobile terminal devices and support 5g function. Qualcomm also said that at present, the SOC has produced samples for many OEMs developing next-generation consumer terminals; With the 5g deployment pace of the operator, the smartphone equipped with the SOC is expected to be released in the first half of 2019. Of course, more detailed information about this SOC will not be announced until the fourth quarter of this year. Of course, according to Qualcomm, this SOC is not only for smart phones, but also focuses on end-to-end artificial intelligence, supports "excellent battery life and performance", and supports the fields of automobile and Internet of things. However, Qualcomm did not announce the official name of the SOC, and according to Lei Feng's previous report, the next generation SOC may be named Xiaolong 8150. In addition, Qualcomm's next-generation SOC may have a dedicated NPU, which is similar to the NPU carried by Kirin 970 last year and will be used to improve AI performance - which is in line with Qualcomm's "end-to-end artificial intelligence" to a certain extent. In addition to the announcement, Qualcomm has made many preparations for the arrival of 5g. As early as October 2016, Qualcomm has released Xiaolong X50, which is also the world's first 5g modem; Then, in October 2017, Qualcomm announced that Xiaolong X50 had completed the world's first 5g Gigabit data connection in the 28ghz millimeter wave band. At the same time, it also demonstrated the 5g mobile phone reference design based on Xiaolong X50 - Qualcomm's advanced layout in 5g technology, which laid the foundation for its cooperation with various manufacturers in 2018. By 2018, Qualcomm was busy reaching relationships with manufacturers at all levels and continued to promote 5g. On MWC 2018, Qualcomm released 5g module solution. The purpose of the whole solution is to enable smartphone manufacturers to quickly deploy 5g in 2019. Not long ago, on July 23, Qualcomm announced the launch of the world's first fully integrated 5g new air interface (5g NR) RF module with millimeter spread below 6GHz for smartphones and other mobile terminals. Now, Qualcomm has further officially announced the next generation SOC's support for 7Nm technology and the integration of Xiaolong X50 5g modem - it can only be said that 5g is getting closer and closer.
