Qualcomm introduced its new premium smartwatch processors at its event today. These chips, which are much faster than their predecessors in terms of features, were introduced with the names W5 Gen 1 and W5+ Gen 1, similar to the mobile side. W stands for wearable, that is, wearable technology.
Qualcomm W5 Gen 1 and W5+ Gen 1 features
These processors, which are the result of Qualcomm’s agreement with Samsung, came out of 4nm manufacturing technology. In terms of their features, they promise 2 times more performance than the wear 4100 series. In addition, it is both smaller in size and wider connections it supports.
Qualcomm says these chips offer more than 50 percent battery life. In other words, 4 nm production technology reveals the difference in terms of efficiency. This can be an advantage for Galaxy Watchs, whose battery can only last for 1 day, unlike Huawei and Xiaomi.
AMD and Intel burned: Qualcomm made history for the computer
When will the Qualcomm computer processor be announced? Qualcomm said they will get ahead of AMD and Intel. Here are the details.
These chips also contain an auxiliary processing unit. The auxiliary unit in the previous generation had gone through the 28 nm fabrication process. The new series uses 22 nm technique. So there is a development in this area as well. This, as we mentioned above, supports increasing performance and decreasing energy consumption.
When we look at the features of W5 Gen 1 and W5+ Gen 1, we see that it supports the latest technologies such as Bluetooth 5.3 and EIS3.0. These processors are expected to be released by the end of this year. First, they will take place in OPPO’s smart watches.
