Overview

• Built on a 3nm process, the third‑generation Oryon CPU uses a 2+6 layout with clocks up to 4.6GHz and 3.62GHz, and Qualcomm claims about 20% higher CPU performance with 35% better CPU efficiency versus last year.
• The next‑gen Adreno GPU targets a 23% performance uplift at 20% lower power, adds 18MB Adreno High Performance Memory cache, and integrates full Unreal Engine 5 support with a reported 25% ray‑tracing gain.
• A 37% faster Hexagon NPU and an upgraded Sensing Hub are designed to run agentic AI features locally, enabling proactive, personalized assistance with user data remaining on device, according to Qualcomm.
• Creator features include first‑in‑mobile support for the Advanced Professional Video codec for near‑lossless capture, a 20‑bit Spectra ISP, and the Dragon Fusion computational video pipeline co‑developed with ArcSoft.
• Connectivity pairs the X85 5G Modem‑RF with FastConnect 7900 for 5G Advanced, Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and UWB; OEMs such as Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Honor, vivo and others plan launches in the coming days, and early media tests on Qualcomm reference hardware report strong gains like a ~12,170 Geekbench multi‑core score, with real‑world device verification to follow.
