Qualcomm's first CPU with integrated 5G is made for midrange phones
Yesterday, Qualcomm gave us a preview of the array of chips it's announcing at its Tech Summit event this week, including the new flagship Snapdragon 865 which is sure to feature in many of 2020's most prominent phones. But it also teased a pair of 700-series chipsets that are the first to offer integrated 5G modems. The Snapdragon 765 and 765G are built on a 7nm process, like the 865 and the 855 before it, and support a range of 5G technologies like mmwave, sub-6 GHz, TDD, FDD and DSS. That's a whole mouthful of alphabet soup, but what it means is the 765 chips will be able to support 5G networks worldwide.
Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon chips include two with built-in 5G
Qualcomm just outlined the performance landscape for many of 2020's Android phones -- the company has introduced the Snapdragon 865, 765 and gaming-oriented 765G. They should improve performance in categories like AI and 8K video capture (Qualcomm won't share much more until December 4th), but this time around the highest-end chip isn't the star. The upper mid-range 765 series represents Qualcomm's first systems-on-a-chip with integrated 5G, saving them from using separate, power-hungry modems to take advantage of next-gen wireless. That could extend battery life, of course, but it should also make 5G handsets more affordable.
