The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Powers Android's Fastest Gaming Phone

The Nubia RedMagic 7 is powered by Qualcomm’s powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform processor. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is manufactured using an advanced 4nm process and features numerous updates and enhancements, over the previous-gen 888 designed to increase platform performance and power efficiency, and enable new features and capabilities.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 features a mix of Arm CPU cores – 8 in total. Its Kryo CPU complex has a single high-performance Prime Cortex-X2 core (up to 3GHz), three Cortex A71 Performance cores (up to 2.5GHz), and four Cortex A51 Efficiency cores (up to 1.8GHz). The Prime core is used for threads which require the highest priority (and most performance), while the Performance cores handle the rest of heavy lifting, supplemented by the Efficiency cores for less-demanding background tasks. Qualcomm also enhanced the GPU in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The chip is equipped with a re-architected Adreno GPU that offers up to 30% better performance, with a 25% improvement in power efficiency.

The RedMagic 7 will be available in multiple colors, with various memory and storage configurations. Despite the device’s killer performance, however, pricing starts at only $629.
