Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile SoC and Snapdragon X Elite chipset for notebooks, the company also unveiled its latest audio chipsets today at the Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon S7 and S7 Pro Gen 1 audio platforms with Bluetooth 5.4. The S7 Pro brings micro-powered Wi-Fi (at up to 29 Mbps) to your next pair of headphones to extend their range «far beyond what’s possible today with Bluetooth alone» Qualcomm says, with a seamless transition between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The company promises that you’ll be able to walk around your home, any building or campus listening to music and making calls where the functionality of just Bluetooth would have been marginal.
The S7 and S7 Pro have «six times more processing power and nearly 100 times more AI power» (thanks to the use of a dedicated Micro NPU AI engine) than «previous-generation platforms» such as the S5 Gen 2. Qualcomm says these two audio platforms «utilize an unprecedented level of in-device artificial intelligence» that will help «hearing enhancement technologies deliver a smoother user experience by understanding and adapting to the user’s needs throughout the day».

Automatic ANC switching «depending on the surroundings» that already exists in headphones. Speaking of ANC: it’s now «4th generation» and it should be better than ever.
There are «multiple DSP cores» and a sensor hub on board, and memory capacity has been increased by 300% — again compared to the S5 Gen 2. The S7 Pro also supports 192kHz lossless multi-channel music streaming and enhanced multi-channel spatial audio for gaming.
