Snapdragon 8 Elite FEATURES: Putting Qualcomm's BIG claims to the TEST!

1st

2nd

😮

For the sake of android, please test the windows emulators , run some games like gtav and others, snapdragon 8 gen 3 already runs most of the AAA titles easily.

It would be great too see putting the sd elite performance to test❤

The software in the demos is bad not the NPU itself, We don't know yet how Samsung and other companies AI software will look like on Snapdragon 8 Elite

So practically they didn't show anything that actually worked and that a normal person would use

Still not a single creator has covered anything about battery life or efficiency, which is one of the most important things that customers look for.

They aren't a software company thats upto the oems to better implement these types of ai feature these are just basic tech demos it remains to be seen if Samsung will make better use of it the issues with it probably aren't a hardware problem being too weak npu or something I think its just the software is a basic demo and not fully fleshed out

dawg what even worked

That was really a whole lot of gimmicks for a single presentation. Qualcomm outdoing themselves.
I just hope the new design without small cores brings efficiency up like it did for Mediatek with the 9300.

Google is still the best when it comes to AI.
Honestly, from everything I've seen and heard from this video i strongly believe that the tensor g3 in the pixel 8 series does AI better than the SD 8 elite

AI AI AI AI give me better battery and gaming performance

diminishing returns

How much raw performance is enough for mobile device? Unnecessarily packing raw power ain't even useful for current generations devices. Since phones are crossing upwards of 1000$ regularly, it's better to draw a line and make some useful upgrades while maintaining costs.

AI, AI, AI…

Qualcomm is not responsible from software at all. They just created some demos to prove it is promising. At least i would be surprised if snapdragon would offer such softwares.

Not a single demo is applicable to me or my needs. I am glad they are improving their chips, but I'll keep my current device.

Too much work is going into AI features, which most people won't even use
Android got Gemini live for free and its really cool but I barely use it

AI up scaling coming to mobile is awesome and glad to see Qualcomm is tying to get developers to utilize it. AI up scaling,frame generation,& frame interpolation are what I’m most excited by when it comes to AI in smartphones. Wish we got to see a demo showcasing the increasing of a games frame rate using those technologies.

waiting for Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 , because Snapdragon 8 Elite now old model, SD now working on Snapdragon 8 Elite 2.

No real people care about AI, as long as it has good efficiency then it is good.

Upscaling to 4K = "the lighting looks really good", bro are you good? Maybe talk about textures instead, since lighting effects really doesn't scale with resolution

.......

Qualcomms AI is much simpler form of Machine Learning algorithm.. which is a really good thing.. less complex processing

I GUARANTEE that if the demo in point number one had been nothing but 1080p with no upscaling but you were told it was, you wouldn't have had a clue about it!

Patiently waiting real world use tests. Dont care too much about the NPU improvements for AI, more interested in how the new chip handles thermals and efficiency. We have peaked in terms of performance already.

Not a single developer will give a shit to this and to me it looks like how or miss. Instead of refining the processor or to polish the existing feature that works made more sense. It just feels like mah.

Who cares about CPU, GPU is that matters I want Dimenisty 9400 with Nvidia

To be fair, you should have talked about the chip itself. The AI demos are just potential use cases that are better implemented or executed by their customers.

A great leap forward, but I'm not abandoning my S23 Ultra for this. Whatever is about in 3-5 years will feel like a real step up, then!

The power efficiency on 8 elite preety good improvement as it as uses less power to run apps as many china reviewers has already review it

i could give a crap about the ai,i just care about boosted performance and boosted efficiency

Yes, overhyped like every year. Qualcomm comes out claiming gigantic gains, only to be the same overheating mess year after year. They think that by using "AI" in front of every feature that existed before AI makes it sound cooler.

lol gaming on a phone just play it on pc or buy an ipad cause apps on ios are more optimized it's always gonna run better than an android 😅

Back in the day performance differences between chips was important because of some of them being disappointing notably Samsung made chips. But for the last couple of years performance has peaked and I don't think many of us will ever want for anything more. So I am more interested in efficiency. Are these performance upgrades meaning the same task can be done with less wattage? We will wait to see from real reviews rather than marketing spiel from QUALCOMM.

First thing I expected is comparison in real games again iPhone 16

AI DRAGON AI 8 AI AILITE AI AI AI
SO AI😂

"THE BATTLE OVER BRITAIN "BY PROF WALTER VEITH POWERFUL POWERFUL WATCH TRUTH ALWAYS WINS ❤

gonna be honest, i don't care about ANY of this stuff lol.

i care about performance, efficiency and battery life from an SOC. the phone manufacturer will handle the superfluous AI features

Wait for the leading brand to implement the said feature.. i think the demo phone is just a teaser for the leading brand to perfect.. the 8 elite is too powerful not polish the said feature..

This is just a marketing ad for Snapdragon, just so you guys know.
Android Authority has signed a contract with Snapdragon and so do all others who show it off as something really cool.
It is just another upgrade to smartphones and that's it.
The AI you can get from websites. The gaming in 4k you can get from the PC.

The problem on android gaming is game library, no matter what your powerful devices as long as the game is not update it still sucks. What is the most demanding gpu on android game? Genshin, star rail, honkai impact that even mid range device can run that. Why dont you bring console games to android with that such powerful chipset? Such re4 remake, god of war, assasins creed, etc.

Stopped watching the video after around the 3rd or 4th mention of the word AI. Im giving it a down vote just purely out of that.

Not seeing anything on demo worthy of the "elite" name...

Thats great and all , about the AI. Until the people that actually make the software want to charge monthly for it.

I like too se test on Winlator emulator for AAA games !!!

Any info on the heat issues? It sounds like the processors can run really hot

Qualcomm always come with big claims and end up failing. Think about the Snapdragon X elite for instance! Not at all the "M-chip killer" it was promised to be
