Snapdragon 732G Qualcomm CPU and GPU Launch
Snapdragon 732G with 2.2GHz to 2.3GHz |
Qualcomm presents the Snapdragon 730G installed in the Google Pixel 4a (test) in a new version Snapdragon 732G, which offers a little more CPU and GPU performance. One of the first takers of the chip is the Xiaomi daughter Poco.
The Snapdragon 732G is not a big upgrade compared to the Snapdragon 730G, since the changes are limited to minimal adjustments of the maximum clock rates of the CPU and GPU as well as a software feature.
Snapdragon 732G Prime core with 2.3 GHz
Where two Kryo 470 Gold (ARM Cortex-A76) with up to 2.2 GHz and six Kryo 470 Silver (ARM Cortex-A55) with up to 1.8 GHz were used in the 2+6 setup of the CPU, one of the fast cores may now go as prime core up to 2.3 GHz. This explains all changes to the CPU of the Snapdragon 732G.
15 percent more GPU performance and more colors
Qualcomm has no more than turning the clock screw on its own GPU. According to Qualcomm, the Adreno 618 is expected to deliver a 15 percent higher rendering performance than the model of the same name in the Snapdragon 730G. In addition, Qualcomm has released a feature of Snapdragon Elite Gaming for the Snapdragon 732G, which was previously reserved for larger chips, with the display of Deep Color (30 bits) for more than a billion colors.
Poco launches first smartphone

With the adaptations Qualcomm seems to have orientated itself to the needs of Poco. The Xiaomi subsidiary is the first customer to be named in the announcement of the System-on-a-Chip and is supposed to launch an appropriately equipped smartphone, whose name or availability has not yet been mentioned.
The other key data of the Snapdragon 732G match those of the Snapdragon 730G. These include the 8 nm (8LPP) production at Samsung, the Hexagon-688 DSP, the Spectra-350 ISP for two cameras, the LPDDR4X support with two 16-bit channels up to 1,866 MHz and the integrated SnapdragonX15 modem for LTE Advanced with up to 800 Mbit/s downstream and up to 150 Mbit/s upstream.
