Everything Announced at the Snapdragon Summit 2025 Keynote · THE DAILY BRIEF

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We're entering a whole new phase. AI powered computing is
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: no longer just about raw performance. It's becoming woven into
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: how we live and work. Remember this, Qualcomm is the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: best connected computing company in the world. We know how
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to connect everyone to everything everywhere. We've pushed mobile tech
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: into PCs, tablets, AI glasses, watches, earbuds, you name it. Today,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to introduce the third generation Qualcom Ryan CPU
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: for both our smartphones and PC platforms.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: From the beginning, we weren't just designing another processor. We
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: started with the blank slate. We're thinking what performance could
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: mean in the real world. We define a new design
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: philosophy to push beyond limits what it matters most. At
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: the heart of it, we tuned our Mac architecture for
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: actual use cases. We focused on improving the instructions per
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: clock in actual workloads rather than synthetic patchmarks as a
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: whore design choice. We prioritize clock speed, which impacts performance
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: across every use case. This provides the range to remp
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: in demanding workloads and conserve power when tests are lighter.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Our cash hierarchy is a cornerstone of the design. We
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: carefully developed very large caches while still significantly reducing latency,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: so demanding task black gaming, browsing, and video editing are
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: faster and more fluid from the start. We build our
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: custom architecture to scale from our incredible smartphones and powerful
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: laptops to safety critical automotive systems and in the future,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: even data centers. Our third generation CPU with tailored to AI.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: It works hand in hand with the Quackom Hexagon MPU
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: to orchestrate machine learning and execute tasks for AI agents,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: while hardware matrix acceleration brings models directly onto the CPU
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: for added flexibility and speed. In the end, it's not
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: about specs, it's about the experience. The third generation Orion
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: CPU delivers performance in everything you do very like to
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: keep you going, and intelligence moven into every task. That's
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: the promise of the third generation quat Com Orion.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: CPU performance per what continues to be an advantage for Snapdragon,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: and we delivered exactly that with the Orion Gentree. Look
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: at this curve, we're nearly forty percent better performance and
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: forty three percent less power compared to Orion Gen one
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: introduced in our compute products in twenty twenty four. What
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: makes snapdragons. So powerful is more than just one component.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Is the combination of everything we build. It's the Orion
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Gen three CPU MHM, It's the Hexagon NPU, It's the
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Adrino GPU, It's the Spectra is SP and so much more.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: It's this full stack working together that unlocks what's possible
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: in smartphones today. And with all that momentum, we are
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: ready to take the next step. Let's start with the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Orion Jen three CPU. It's something we're really proud of.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: We've built it into our mobile platform and it's the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: fastest fastest mobile CPU in the world. Let's get into
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the specs. The prime course hit four point six gigaherts
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: and the performance cores are running at three point six gigaherts.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: This is the first time you're seeing this kind of
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: speed on smartphones. And we've added twelve megabytes of cash
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: per cluster, which gives the cores the capabilities they need
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to handle everything multitasking, gaming, support, video editing, web browsing
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and agentic AI and so much more. It's designed to
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: keep up with how you actually use your phones. Look
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: at these benchmark scores in the latest Geek bench st
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: and speedometer scores we're up twenty percent and thirty two
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: percent respectively. Geek Bench MT is another important measure, and
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: we're up nearly twenty percent on that. Now, let's go
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: through the Hexagon MPU. It's a major upgrade. We've re
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: architected it from the ground up and it's now delivering
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: nearly forty percent better performance and more than fifteen percent
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: better power efficiency compared to last generation. And when you
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: combine that with the improvements we've made in the CPU
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and GPU, the ad Elite can intelligently manage workloads across
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: three cores with even higher performance. The MPU isn't just
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: for generative AI. It's working across graphics, real time translation,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: and especially in photography and video. For years, phones have
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: used AI to enhance photos, tweaking lighting, sharpening details. But
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: with this tight integration between our spectra ISP and the MPU,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: we're now applying the same enhancements to video. What that
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: means is every frame gets processed with the same intelligence
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: and precisions as your photos. Every frame, the mp now
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: supports your personal data and device to cloud orchestration. Your
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: on device assistant can remember past conversations, classify images, and
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: even help you post to Instagram, pulls from your location
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: photos and chats to suggest your favorite memories, and all
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: you have to do is hit publish. Now the third
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: big core, the Adrino GPU. It's another big step forward
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and it continues to lead the way in mobile gaming.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: We've added support for advanced features like mess shading and
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: hardware acceleration for ray tracing. All that means is games
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: are going to look and feel more realistic than ever.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Performance Wise, we're seeing a twenty three percent boost and
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: twenty percent more efficiency to so not only you're getting
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: smoother gameplayed, but you're also getting better battery life while
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: doing it. We've also pushed the architecture further with a
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: three slice design. Each slice can now hit clock speeds
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: of one point two gigahertz. That gives developers and gamers
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: more headroom to work with so they can build and
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: play visually rich, complex experiences without compromise. This year, we're
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: introducing something new with Snapdragon Ataly. It's called the Adrino
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: High Performance Memory or HPM. It's a dedicated memory layer
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: we built specifically for graphics. HPM gives the GPU its
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: own high speed memory cash eighteen megabytes worth, which boots
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: bandwidth and cuts latency. That's critical for gaming, especially when
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: you want ultra responsive gameplay and smooth visuals. The result
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: faster scene rendering, fear of frame drops, and smooth performance.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Look at these numbers for memory, bandwidth and power savings.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: We've done a lot with imaging and video on Snapdragon Etaly,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: completely revamping our spectra ISP.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: It is the first.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Twenty BITICP and mobile platforms. What that means is when
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: you're shooting in low light, whether it's photos or videos,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: you're going to see a lot more detail. And for
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: creators and video professionals, we've added something really special, Advanced
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Professional Video or APV, developed in close partnership with industry
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: leaders like Samsung. It's a new codec that supports high
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: bit rates and nearly lossless quality. We're already seeing strong
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: adoption across the industry. Google, Adobe, black Magic and others
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: are already on board. It shows how serious this is
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: not just for mobile, but for the broader ecosystem. We're
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: teamed up with video production houses like Company three and
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the China National Geography to create stunning content shot on Snapdragon.
