Qualcomm Snapdragon X65 5G modem

The upcoming Snapdragon X65 5G modem is said to be the whole showstopper here. This would be a great successor to the previous Snapdragon X60 which is known to be the fourth-gen modem that offers quite significantly faster peak download speeds.

According to the story by XDA-developers, in order to have a proper reference, the current Snapdragon X60 peaks at a whopping 7.5 Gbps download speed. The said modem is capable of achieving 10 Gigabit speeds in both the stand-alone as well as the non-standalone 5G networks.

The upcoming Snapdragon X65 will reportedly be the very first modem capable of supporting 3GPP's 5G NR release 16 which is the second set of specifications that aim to boost the total expansion as well as the deployment of 5G NR worldwide.

Snapdragon X65 reaches 10Gbps

According to the statement of Qualcomm Inc.'s president as well as CEO-elect Cristiano Amon, the company is now reaching a very significant milestone along with the said Snapdragon X65 5G Modem-RF System. This will be capable of unleashing a massive connection of up to a whopping 10 Gigabits per second.

Amon also noted that it will also be able to support the latest upcoming 5G specifications capable of playing a critical role in actually enabling the brand new 5G use cases. Amon then clarified that the limitations are not only for the said redefined premium smartphone experiences but to also be able to open up a brand new realm of possibilities. The president then noted that it can function for the 5G expansion across different platforms like the mobile broadband, the XR, industrial IoT, compute, 5G private networks, as well as fixed wireless.

Apple iPhone 2022 could reach 10Gbps download speed

An article by Apple Insider adds to the story noting that Qualcomm has introduced the Snapdragon X65 5G chip that could be able to help provide the upcoming Apple iPhones in 2022 with a massive cellular speed of up to 10Gbps. The annual modem release of the Snapdragon X65 is said to be a 5G-compatible modem that will follow the previous model known as the Snapdragon X60.

The upcoming fourth-generation modem is also claimed to be the very first modem capable of reaching a whopping 10-gigabit 5G connection speed. This would allow its users to potentially download much faster if the carrier conditions are in favor. This is a huge step up from their already massive Snapdragon X60 chips.
