Now, as the new year has begun, we may see more advances in the coming month itself with new-gen chipsets and smartphones with advanced AI offerings. In a recent report, it is rumored that Qualcomm may introduce LPDDR6 RAM for the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen4 chipset which may have the ability to leave iPhone 16 models behind in terms of artificial intelligence (AI). The powerful combination will help smartphone companies bring on-device AI processing which could be a big leap and even help surpass the AI capabilities of the upcoming Apple iPhone 16.
