Welcome to the tech meme right home for Tuesday, October 22nd,

2024. I'm Brian McCullough today.

Qualcomm has unveiled its big next-gen snap-dragon system on a chip which will someday be in all the

phones except iPhones of course is Netflix pulling back on its gaming strategy why a

new marketplace from epic might actually point the way to the Metaverse and how are various people

trying to get AI to have a better personality. Here's what you miss today in the

world of tech.

Qualcomm has unveiled the 3 nanometer Snap- Dragon 8 elite mobile system on a chip with 2

prime and 6 performance CPU C Orion CPU is this year's headline ticket. It marks Qualcomm's return to

CPU development after years of buying parts from Arms cortex series. The

CPU's are still based on the arm architecture but a fully custom design frees Qualcomm to configure the

inner workings of Orion exactly as it sees fit with the additional development

expenses of course. Qualcomm is keen to stress that the CPU's inside the Snap Dragon 8 elite

aren't just a slim down version of the Phoenix

CPU cores inside its laptop-grade

Snap Dragon X series.

No, they're a ground-up design specifically for

mobile applications. For starters, the CPU core setup has been greatly

simplified compared to the previous years. The quad- arrangement of big, middle, and little cores is replaced

by a simple two tier design of two prime cores and six performance cores. This is a much more

apple-like approach, which also doesn't use any small cores for background tasks.

The clock speeds are also notably different, reaching a colossal 4.32 gigahertz on the two fastest
