The new Midcomm Mid-strain processor, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4It was officially announced. Among the new features it brings, there is the sound broadcast by WiFi, for the first time in this range, and performance improvements, in particular with regard to the performance of artificial intelligence.
It is an expected long advertisement, because it is very likely that many of the smartphones in the next midfielder occur in the coming months Use this processor; In fact, it is likely that its influence will be noticed more than a year after its launch, as happened with its predecessors.
For example, the previous model, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, was announced in November 2023, but last month, a new device that used it was launched, the Power Honor. It is a good choice, with a balance between power, consumption and price, that the new model wants to improve.
The new Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 also has eight hearts, but with an important difference: has more hearts dedicated to performanceThis immediately translates into a higher power of 27% compared to the latest generation, even without having the rest of the changes, according to Qualcomm data. More specifically, it now has a cortex-a720 nucleus which reaches 2.8 GHz, four cortex-a720 nuclei which stays at 2.4 GHz and three cortex-a520 nuclei at 1.8 GHz for light tasks and energy reduction.
In video games, the difference in power is even more visible, with a 30% performance improvement Regarding the latest generation thanks to a new GPU Adreno model, with characteristics that are still confirmed. But we live at the time of AI, and even the mid -range mobiles will soon have to execute it locally; To do this, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 has a new NPU hexagon (neuronal treatment unit) which is faster at 65% thanks to the improvement of speed in shared memory and the int4 precision support. He also has a stable diffusion management 1.5 to generate images without needing a connection with a server.

But AI is not the only part that receives improvements, fortunately. One of the most striking elements is compatibility with Audio via wifiUsing Qualcomm XPAN technology. The great advantage of using the Wi -Fi network to transmit sound compared to Bluetooth is in a much higher bandwidth, which makes it possible to obtain a high definition sound and an extensive scope compared to normal Bluetooth headphones.
Photography is also gaining importance in Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, with significant improvements such as the New image signal processor (ISP) Specters QualcommWho is able to take photos without delay thanks to its greatest power, capturing images with a resolution of 200 MPx.
The first smartphones based on the new Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 should not take long to be announced. Although there are still no specific models, Qualcomm has confirmed that manufacturers love honor and living They are already preparing future versions that will arrive in the coming months.
