Is everything new – well forgotten old? The latest SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 turns out to be renamed Snapdragon 6 Gen 1
About a week ago, Qualcomm introduced the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 single-chip system, and even then we noted that the platform turned out to be strange: it turned out to be slower even than the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. Now the situation has become a little clearer: Qualcomm went along the beaten path more expensive than MediaTek and simply renamed one SoC to another . To be fair, we note that the matter was not limited to just renaming: the new single-chip system received an increase in CPU frequencies of 150-200 MHz.
The table clearly shows that Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is a slightly overclocked Snapdragon 6 Gen 1: the frequency of the ARM Cortex-A55 cores increased by 150 MHz, the ARM Cortex A78 cores increased by 200 MHz. And that is all. There are no other differences between these single-chip systems: Qualcomm didn’t even change the modem. Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 scores about 30 thousand more points in AnTuTu, but this is precisely due to the increase in frequencies.
Let us remind you that the first serial smartphone based on Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 was Redmi Note 13 Pro.

Huawei has finally defeated American sanctions. Nova 12 Ultra will be the first smartphone with the Chinese Kirin SoC and a 5G modem

Due to American sanctions, Huawei was unable to produce smartphones with 5G modems for a long time – the company was simply cut off from supplies of both the necessary components and ready-made single-chip systems with integrated 5G support. But now everything will change: Huawei has its own SoC with a 5G modem, and the first smartphone based on it will be the Nova 12 Ultra.
This model, designated by catalog number ADA-AL00U, has already been certified in China, and the description specifically indicates 5G support. And the well-known insider Digital Chat Station revealed additional details.
According to him, the new mid-level Huawei smartphone (the Nova line is one of these) will have a Kirin 9000s SoC with a 5G modem. It will differ from the regular version of Kirin 9000s by a slightly lower (only 130 MHz) frequency of the large core. The Kirin 9000s configuration, we recall, looks like this: a large core with a frequency of 2.49 GHz, three medium cores with a frequency of 2.15 GHz and four small cores with a frequency of 1.53 GHz. According to rumors, the premiere of the Nova 12 line will take place in December.
Previously, Digital Chat Station was the first to accurately report the specifications and release dates of Redmi K50 and Xiaomi 12.
