高通将其旗舰手机芯片一分为二。周二在毛伊岛举行的骁龙峰会上,高通推出了骁龙8 Elite Extreme Gen 6和骁龙8 Elite Gen 6,这两款芯片均基于2纳米工艺制造。

Qualcomm has split its flagship phone chip in two. At its Snapdragon Summit in Maui on Tuesday, it launched the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, both built on a 2nm process.

CNBC记者基夫·莱斯维ング(Kif Leswing)报道称,这些芯片由台湾积体电路制造公司(台积电)生产。Gizmodo网站的凯尔·巴尔(Kyle Barr)在活动现场对高通的参考手机进行了基准测试。

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. makes the chips, CNBC’s Kif Leswing reported. Gizmodo’s Kyle Barr ran benchmarks on Qualcomm’s reference phones at the event.

高通移动业务总经理克里斯·帕特里克(Chris Patrick)表示:“通过设计两个创新的平台,我们在共同塑造下一代智能、个性化移动体验的功能时,为原始设备制造商(OEM)提供了更多选择。”

“By designing two innovative platforms, we’re giving OEMs greater choice as we collectively shape the capabilities of the next generation of intelligent, personalized, mobile experiences,” said Chris Patrick, Qualcomm’s general manager of mobile handsets.

两款芯片有何区别?两款芯片均采用高通的Oryon CPU,拥有两个最高可达5GHz的主核心和六个最高可达4GHz的性能核心。高通称其为全球首款主频达到5GHz的移动CPU。

What separates the two chips Both chips use Qualcomm’s Oryon CPU, with two prime cores at up to 5GHz and six performance cores at up to 4GHz. Qualcomm calls it the world’s first mobile CPU to reach 5GHz.

差距体现在图形、人工智能和视频方面。与去年的骁龙8 Elite Gen 5相比,高通的数据显示,Extreme芯片的CPU速度提升了13%,GPU速度提升了44%,NPU速度提升了35%。标准版芯片的提升幅度则分别为10%、35%和14%。

The gap is in graphics, AI and video. Against last year’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, Qualcomm’s figures give the Extreme chip a 13% faster CPU, a 44% faster GPU and a 35% faster NPU. The standard chip gets 10%, 35% and 14%.

根据高通的产品简介,Extreme支持每秒60帧的8K视频录制以及240帧的4K慢动作拍摄。标准版芯片的极限则为8K30和4K120。只有Extreme版本配备了Adreno神经融合(Adreno Neural Fusion)技术,该技术利用人工智能来提升游戏画质并生成额外帧。

The Extreme records 8K video at 60 frames a second and 4K slow motion at 240. The standard chip tops out at 8K30 and 4K120, according to Qualcomm’s product briefs. Only the Extreme gets Adreno Neural Fusion, which uses AI to upscale game graphics and create extra frames.

为智能体而生 高通将这两款芯片都定位为在手机上运行的人工智能智能体。高通在峰会第三天表示,NPU可处理长达32,000个Token的上下文窗口,并能运行参数超过300亿的混合专家模型(MoE)。

Built for agents Qualcomm pitched both chips at AI agents that run on the phone. The NPU handles context windows of up to 32,000 tokens and can run mixture-of-experts models with more than 30 billion parameters, it said on the third day of the summit.

高通表示,全新的感知中心(Sensing Hub)配有两个小型NPU,可运行“个人速记员”(Personal Scribe)功能。它通过学习信息、电子邮件和对话,在设备上构建私密的知识图谱。

A new Sensing Hub with two small NPUs runs Personal Scribe. It learns from messages, emails and conversations to build a private knowledge graph on the device, Qualcomm said.

这些初创企业展示了未来科技发展的方向:memories.ai展示了一种能够记录并索引用户日常活动的视觉记忆系统;AGI Inc.则展示了一个能够读取屏幕内容并在多个应用程序中执行操作的智能助手;Liquid AI则专注于开发小型、适用于移动设备的AI模型。

Start-ups showed what that could look like. memories.ai demonstrated a visual memory that indexes a user’s day locally. AGI Inc. showed an agent that reads the screen and acts across apps. Liquid AI, which makes small on-device models, also appeared.

在摄像头方面,Qualcomm的Spectra图像处理器采用了20位处理技术,该公司称这是首个支持三颗6400万像素摄像头的移动平台。

搭载这些芯片的手机包括HONOR、iQOO、Motorola、OnePlus、OPPO、REDMI、RedMagic、vivo和Xiaomi等品牌的产品。其中,Motorola在发布会上展示了其新款旗舰手机Signature 27。

For cameras, the Spectra image processor moves to a 20-bit design. Qualcomm says it is the first mobile platform to support three 64MP cameras. The phones HONOR, iQOO, Motorola, OnePlus, OPPO, REDMI, RedMagic, vivo and Xiaomi will ship phones with the chips. Motorola showed its Signature 27 on stage.

根据Qualcomm的合作方声明,vivo将iQOO 16和iQOO Pad Ultra列为首批采用该芯片的“Extreme”系列产品;RedMagic则将其12Pro+手机也归入“Extreme”系列。Motorola表示这是其首次在旗舰机型中使用这款芯片。Xiaomi表示将在未来的高端手机中同时使用这两种芯片;HONOR则称,正是这款芯片的帮助,使其能够将专业电影摄影设备ARRI的技术引入智能手机领域。

In Qualcomm’s partner quote sheet, vivo named the iQOO 16 and iQOO Pad Ultra among the first Extreme devices. RedMagic named its 12Pro+. Motorola said it is using the Extreme chip in its flagships for the first time. Xiaomi said it will use both chips in its upcoming premium phones. HONOR said the Extreme chip helped it bring ARRI, the cinema camera maker, to smartphones for the first time.

Motorola全球产品营销负责人Nicole Hagen表示:“这一里程碑性的突破使我们能够为全球消费者带来更先进的AI技术、更出色的性能以及更优质的用户体验。”

“This milestone enables us to deliver new levels of on-device AI, performance, and premium user experiences to consumers around the world,” said Nicole Hagen, Motorola’s head of global product marketing.

根据Gizmodo的测试结果,这些新手机在多核Geekbench测试中的表现优于苹果的A20 Pro(领先8%),在3DMark图形测试中领先约20%;不过在单核测试中,苹果仍保持约10%的领先优势。不过Barr也指出,这些新手机在运行时会产生较高的温度。

How it compares with Apple In Gizmodo’s tests, the reference phones beat Apple’s A20 Pro by 8% on multi-core Geekbench scores and by about 20% in 3DMark graphics tests. Apple kept a lead of about 10% on single-core scores. The test phones also ran hot, Barr wrote.

此次发布会正值内存供应短缺导致手机价格上涨的背景下举行。Counterpoint Research预测,2026年智能手机的出货量将下降14%。

The launch comes as memory shortages push up phone prices. Counterpoint Research expects smartphone shipments to fall 14% in 2026.
