Qualcomm Details Next-Gen Hexagon NPU for On-Device AI
Qualcomm is detailing its next Snapdragon platform with a new Oryon CPU architecture, an Adreno GPU overhaul, and a next-generation Hexagon NPU as the primary AI engine. The design keeps larger data sets closer to compute using FlexCache and splits AI work across CPU, GPU, and NPU. Qualcomm says Neural Fusion in the new Adreno graphics pipeline can cut power consumption by up to 40% in internal testing.
