At MWC 2022, Qualcomm has announced the new Snapdragon X70 modem with increased uplink and downlink speeds. This modem also has AI capabilities and has world-first in a modem-RF system.
Snapdragon X70 Modem comes with a new AI suite that can enhance 5G speeds, coverage, latency, and power efficiency for both sub-6GHz bandwidths and mmWave. The modem boasts up to 10 Gbps peak download speed and 3.5 Gbps peak upload speed.
Qualcomm also claims that the modem has up to 60% power efficiency improvements. This could be possible due to Qualcomm 5G PowerSave Gen 3 and multi-antenna optimizations. AI also plays an important role in power savings across the board.
Snapdragon X70 modem is expected to power devices by the end of this year.
