On Wednesday, Qualcomm unveiled Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 as its new 5G mobile platform for next-generation flagship Android phones at the annual Snapdragon Tech Summit. The chip is the first to feature the new Snapdragon branding, which was introduced after Qualcomm’s 17 Snapdragon 800-series system-on-chip (SoC) models were released. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is said to have four times the performance of last year’s Snapdragon 888 SoC in terms of artificial intelligence (AI). Furthermore, Qualcomm claims that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is the world’s first 5G modem-RF solution capable of 10 Gigabit download speeds on a compatible network.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 will come with Qualcomm’s 7th Gen AI Engine, which is said to have two times the shared memory and a two-times faster tensor accelerator than the Snapdragon 888’s 6th Gen AI Engine, resulting in better per-watt performance. The new chip will also be manufactured using a 4nm process. This is an improvement over the Snapdragon 888’s 5nm process technology from last year.
The exact names of the Kryo CPU and Adreno GPU on Qualcomm’s new chip have yet to be revealed. The Kryo CPU, on the other hand, has Arm Cortex-X2 cores that can run at up to 3GHz. The CPU is said to be 20 percent faster and uses 30 percent less power than the Snapdragon 888’s counterpart. In comparison to its predecessor, the new Adreno GPU is expected to deliver a 30% increase in graphics rendering and a 25% reduction in power consumption.
It includes a Qualcomm Hexagon processor as part of the AI Engine for a better artificial intelligence (AI) experience. The chip also has Leica Leitz Look filters built-in for a better bokeh effect.

In addition, the new Snapdragon chip supports the Android Ready SE standard, which allows users to use digital car keys and driver’s licenses.
The Qualcomm Secure Processing Unit with support for integrated SIM is built into the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 to help people connect to cellular networks without using a SIM card (iSIM).
Snapdragon Sight Technology, the first 18-bit image signal processor, is another notable addition to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. (ISP). At speeds of up to 3.2 gigapixels per second, this camera is said to capture over 4,000 times more camera data than its predecessor for high dynamic range, color, and sharpness. The new ISP also supports the premium HDR10+ format for 8K HDR video recording. A dedicated Bokeh Engine is also available for adding soft backgrounds to videos. There’s also an Always-on ISP, which allows for always-on face unlocking without draining the battery.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1’s other specifications and features are largely similar to those of its predecessor. Support for up to 4K and QHD+ displays with a refresh rate of up to 144Hz, LPDDR5 RAM with a frequency of up to 3200MHz and a density of up to 16GB, and Quick Charge 5 fast charging are among the features.
Qualcomm announced a partnership with Google Cloud to boost neural network development and build as well as optimize AI models at the Snapdragon Tech Summit 2021, alongside the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. Qualcomm Neural Processing SDK will be able to integrate Google Cloud Vertex AI NAS as a result of the collaboration.

‘Coinstore’ Cryptocurrency Exchange Enters India Despite Fear Of Ban On Virtual Cryptocurrency.

Leave a Comment / News, Tech News / By Team YTS

Singapore’s digital currency market is booming. Coinstore started operating in India when the Indian government was drafting a bill that would effectively ban the use of most private cryptocurrencies. In addition to developing an app and web platform, Coinstore plans to open offices in Bangalore, New Delhi, and Mumbai, a platform that will serve as a foundation for further expansion in India.

“With India accounting for nearly a quarter of our total active users, it made sense for us to expand into the market,” Charles Tan, Coinstore’s head of advertising and marketing, told Reuters.

“There have been policy reversals,” Tan said when asked why Coinstore is launching in India despite the looming cryptocurrency crackdown. “But we hope things will be positive, and we are optimistic that the Indian government will come up with a healthy framework for cryptocurrencies.”
The New Delhi government intends to discourage cryptocurrency trading by imposing high capital gains and other taxes, according to two sources. On its legislative agenda for the upcoming winter session, the House has stated that only certain cryptocurrencies will be permitted to promote the technology and applications they entail.
Coinstore plans to hire about 100 people in India and spend $20 million (around Rs. 150 crores) on marketing, hiring, and developing cryptocurrency-related products and services for the Indian market, according to Tan.
Coinstore is the second global exchange to open a local unit in India in the last few months after CrossTower did so in September. Since the beginning of this year, the price of Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, has more than doubled, attracting hordes of Indian investors. As of 10 a.m. IST on November 29, the price of bitcoin in India was Rs. 43.13 lakh.

Industry estimates put the number of crypto investors in India at 15 million to 20 million, with a total market capitalization of around Rs. 40,000 crore. Coinstore intends to expand into Japan, Korea, Indonesia, and Vietnam, according to Tan.
There has been a drop in new cryptocurrency exchange sign-ups, as potential investors appear to be hedging their bets until regulatory clarity on the asset class emerges. A matrix is used to value crypto companies based on new user sign-ups.
The bill aims to outlaw all private cryptocurrencies in India, but makes “certain exceptions to promote the underlying technology and its applications.” So far in November, crypto exchanges have seen a 15-50 percent drop in new sign-ups.
They’ve also seen a drop in monthly transactions as some investors hedged their bets and went into “wait and see” mode.

“On a week-to-week basis, we’ve seen a 20% drop in new sign-ups.” During the recent bull cycle, we had an average daily sign-up rate of 8,000-10,000 people. “Right now, we’re getting 5,000-6,000 new users per day,” BuyUcoin CEO Shivam Thakral said.
“We haven’t seen any significant changes in these numbers on our platform because we primarily cater to retail investors who are looking to invest for the long term,” said Ashish Singhal, CEO of CoinSwitch Kuber.
“People who have already held crypto assets through mining or payments are selling them, which has resulted in an increase in the number of sign-ups. As a result, we’re seeing some of the new members depositing cryptos, selling them, withdrawing money, and depositing it in their bank accounts,” said Sathvik Vishwanath, co-founder, and CEO of Unocoin, a cryptocurrency exchange.

Despite price fluctuations last Tuesday after the government moved to regulate the sector, smaller exchanges reported steady sign-ups as people continued to be curious about the new asset class.
