en.Wedoany.com Reported - Qualcomm has officially launched the Snapdragon Reality Elite chip, a new product designed for extended reality (XR) devices that will succeed the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2, which was used in products such as Samsung's Galaxy XR.

Compared to its predecessor, the Snapdragon Reality Elite delivers significant performance improvements across multiple metrics. According to Qualcomm's data, the chip offers a 30% boost in CPU performance, a 60% increase in GPU performance, and a 160% improvement in NPU performance. Operating temperatures can be up to 12 degrees Celsius lower than the previous generation, with a 20% reduction in energy consumption under the same workload.

In terms of architecture, the Snapdragon Reality Elite features Kryo cores configured as 4 efficiency cores and 2 performance cores, with a maximum clock speed of 2.9 GHz. The SoC is equipped with an Adreno GPU and 12 MB of memory. The NPU delivers 48 TOPS of AI processing power. The chip includes 8 MB of cache and supports LPDDR5 memory at up to 4.2 GHz. Storage compatibility includes UFS 4.0, SD 3.0, and SDExpress 7.0 standards.

The Snapdragon Reality Elite can simultaneously drive two 4.4K resolution screens at 90 frames per second, meaning one display per eye. Its Spectra image processor can handle up to 12 cameras simultaneously. In terms of connectivity, the chip integrates Qualcomm's FastConnect 7800 system, supporting Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0. Wired connections are compatible with two USB 3.1 ports and a three-lane PCIe interface.

The first product to feature this chip will be XREAL's Project Aura, an extended reality glasses running Android XR. Samsung may also adopt this component for its future XR devices, which are distinct from the smart glasses the company unveiled last month.
