Qualcomm Technologies recently announced the Snapdragon 732G, a successor to the 730G designed for immersive gameplay and supported by enhanced artificial intelligence. It will also offer accelerated performance, including a 15 percent faster GPU and an improved CPU over the previous generation.
“The Snapdragon 732G offers a powerful gaming experience, advanced on-device artificial intelligence, and superior performance,” said Kedar Kondap, vice president of product management at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
Snapdragon 732G, performance improvements over the Snapdragon 730G
Qualcomm’s new 732G offers several improvements over its predecessor: it uses the same 8nm silicon as the 730G but at higher clock speeds. Both Cryo 470 cores now run at 2.3 GHz (+0.1 GHz over the previous chip), while the Adreno 618 GPU has been improved to deliver 15% more performance.
The hardware remains identical to an LTE modem (X15) and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. Bluetooth has been updated to version 5.1 but has the same features, including aptX Adaptive and TrueWireless Stereo Plus. Quick Charge 4+ is also supported.
Snapdragon Elite Gaming also supports HDR rendering and Game Jank Reducer. In addition, it is compatible with Vulkan 1.1, so it can be used on phones for mid-range games.
Finally, the integrated ISP can record 4K video at 30 fps and supports HDR10 and HLG for high dynamic range images. It can compress HEIF-formatted photos, and the AI accelerator provides performance of up to 3.6 TOPS.
