After that was MediaTek announce The first SoC smartphone to support Wi-Fi 7, it was expected that Qualcomm would not linger in presenting its own solution. Here is Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. In addition to better performance, compared to Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (in both versions), there will be more information processing based on AI operations.

Qualcomm's new SoC should start appearing on smartphones later this year... with a strange absence from the list of partners.

a space telescope James Webb (JWST) captured an image of a star that had not yet finished forming and a disk of debris that could eventually become planets emerged. This image, of birth, was taken about 450 light-years away and its details are unique, never before understood by humans.

JWST has captured a protostar, or protostar. This object is a candidate for a star if its mass is large enough. But there is more interesting data in this stunning image.


ARM SoCs are increasingly present in the PC market and Qualcomm wants to be one of the most important players in this upcoming change. The proposals are already there, but they still need improvement, especially in terms of Windows and what this system offers.

With the energy crisis, opportunities for the launch of new technologies and the development of others already known acquire a new expression. The crisis of gas and the prices of other fossil fuels and the impact of these high prices on energy production opens the doors to new products. This was the focus of investing in the solution, which has been talked about for several years, to use an acoustic heat pump that emits no greenhouse gases and has a very small carbon footprint.

In practice, this equipment uses sound energy to heat and cool homes. Even noise can generate heat energy, you know?
