Though the 5G network isn’t currently supported by any devices yet, it soon will be, with the likelihood that many will use Qulacomm’s new Snapdragon X55 5G modem.   The Snapdragon X55 5G modem is a 7-nanometer single-chip that supports theoretical top download speeds up to 7 Gbps and upload speeds as high as 3 Gbps. While the Snapdragon X50 is a 5G-only modem, the Snapdragon X55 also supports 4G LTE Cat 22 (with download speeds up to 2. 5Gbps), as well as 3G and 2G networks. “Qualcomm Technologies is spearheading the first wave of 5G launches with our first generation 5G mobile platf ..read more

Intel’s 5G modem, the XMM 8160, was first tipped to be released in 2020, although that release has since been moved forward, with it now set to land in the second half of 2019. That accelerated timing is unsurprising given the fact that Qualcomm has a huge head start with the X50 5G NR modems. Unlike Intel’s ..read more
