Qualcomm pushes latest Arm-powered Snapdragon chip amid bitter license fight
Qualcomm today finds itself in the peculiar position of announcing a top-end processor that relies heavily on technology from an outfit suing the pants off it.
Qualcomm routinely designs chips that feature Arm-based technology, and is set to continue to do so, so its use of the Arm architecture in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC is expected. Qualcomm's chipsets, including its Snapdragon series, are used in a wide range of Android phones and tablets, Windows on Arm laptops, and other devices.
As we've previously reported, Qualcomm bought a startup called Nuvia last year for $1.4 billion. Nuvia was designing its own custom server-grade chips using technology and CPU architecture licensed from Arm.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is more of the same and demonstrates how wedded Qualcomm is to Arm and its standard cores: the system-on-chip uses a single Arm Cortex-X3 at 3.2GHz for high-performance needs, two mid-performance Arm Cortex-A715 cores at 2.8GHz, two other performance A710 cores at 2.8GHz, and three efficiency cores, refreshed Cortex-A510s, at 2GHz. That's eight cores in total using a 4nm TSMC process node, with 8MB of L3 cache.
