Qualcomm Snapdragon X65 baseband chip officially released: 4nm process, the world's first support for 10Gbps 5G rate, this year new mobile phones will be equipped
News from IT House, February 9th Qualcomm today released the Snapdragon X65 5G modem and radiofrequency system ("Snapdragon X65" for short)-the 4th generation 5G modem-to-antenna solution. It is the world's first modem and radiofrequency system that supports 10Gbps 5G rate and conforms to 3GPP Release 16 specifications. It is currently sampling to terminal manufacturers. Commercial terminals using this new system are expected to be launched in 2021.
The Snapdragon X65 can be called Qualcomm's biggest leap in 5G solutions. The system is designed to support the fastest 5G transmission speed on the market through wireless performance comparable to optical fiber and to make full use of the available spectrum to achieve ultimate network flexibility, capacity, and coverage. In addition to the Snapdragon X65, Qualcomm Technologies also launched the Snapdragon X62 5G modem and radiofrequency system ("Snapdragon X62" for short), a modem-to-antenna solution optimized for the mainstream mobile broadband application market.
IT Home learned that the key innovations of Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon X65 5G modem and radio frequency system include:
The scalable architecture supports enhancement, expansion, and customization across 5G market segments; and through software updates, it supports the rapid deployment of new features and functions to be launched, as well as 3GPP Release 16. Especially as 5G expands to new vertical industries such as computing, industrial Internet of Things, and fixed wireless access, this scalable architecture can support the creation of future-oriented solutions based on the Snapdragon X65 to support the adoption of new features and extend the terminal life cycle, And help reduce the total cost of ownership.
The fourth-generation Qualcomm QTM545 millimeter wave antenna module is designed to expand mobile millimeter-wave network coverage and improve energy efficiency. Qualcomm's QTM545 millimeter wave antenna module is paired with the new Snapdragon X65 modem and radiofrequency system. It supports higher transmission power than the previous generation and supports all millimeter-wave frequency bands in the world, including the new n259 (41GHz) frequency band while maintaining the same The product is as compact as the board area.
The world's first AI antenna tuning technology is the first step in introducing the company's pioneering AI research and development results over a decade into mobile radio systems and has brought significant improvements in cellular technology performance and energy efficiency. For example, compared with the previous generation technology, AI has achieved a 30% improvement in the detection accuracy of the handheld terminal. This upgrade can bring enhanced antenna tuning capabilities, thereby increasing data transmission speed, improving coverage, and extending battery life.
The next-generation power tracking solution is smaller, more efficient, and has higher performance-compared with ordinary power tracking technology, it has superior performance and cost-effectiveness.
The most comprehensive spectrum aggregation, covering all major 5G frequency bands and their combinations including millimeter-wave and Sub-6GHz bands, FDD and TDD, brings extreme flexibility to operators by using fragmented 5G spectrum assets.
Qualcomm 5G PowerSave 2.0 is based on the new power-saving technologies defined in 3GPP Release 16, such as Connected-Mode Wake-Up Signal.
Qualcomm Smart Transmit™ 2.0 is a unique system-level technology licensed by Qualcomm Technologies. It can be used with the Snapdragon X65 modem and radiofrequency system. By using the system sensing function from the modem to the antenna, it can continue to meet the requirements of radio frequency transmission. Brings higher upload rates and wider network coverage to the millimeter-wave and Sub-6GHz frequency bands.
The aforementioned innovations of the Snapdragon X65 modem and radiofrequency system, as well as many other performance improvements, are designed to provide an excellent 5G experience through faster cellular communication speed, wider network coverage, and all-day battery life. The Snapdragon X65 will support a new generation of top smartphones, and support a 5G expansion to PC, mobile hotspots, industrial Internet of Things, fixed wireless access, and 5G enterprise private networks.
Qualcomm Technologies also launched a widely available product based on the Snapdragon X65-the Snapdragon X62 5G modem and radiofrequency system. Snapdragon X62 is a 5G modem-to-antenna solution for mobile broadband applications that can support download speeds of several gigabits.
The tight integration of modem and radiofrequency and advanced modem and radiofrequency technology will help terminal manufacturers bring excellent data transmission rate, network coverage, call quality, and all-day battery life. The multi-gigabit 5G provided by the Snapdragon X65 5G modem and radio frequency system can support consumers to enjoy the browsing speed and low latency comparable to optical fiber, and obtain a new generation of networking applications and experiences through 5G wireless connections, including cloud computing and edge Computing, fast and responsive multiplayer games, rich entertainment, immersive 360-degree video, and instant applications.
Snapdragon X65 and Snapdragon X62 are currently sampling to customers. Commercial terminals based on these two modems and radio frequency solutions are expected to be on the market later in 2021.
