Qualcomm QCM5430

6C/6T · 2.1 GHz

Cellular version of the QCS5430, adding a 5G modem with sub-6 GHz and mmWave support. Announced at Embedded World in March 2023, it is a software-defined IoT processor whose capabilities are unlocked through feature packs: the base configuration runs a hexa-core Kryo 670 CPU at up to 2.1 GHz with about 3.5 TOPS of AI performance, while higher packs enable eight cores at up to 2.4 GHz and up to 12 TOPS. Adreno 642L graphics, a Spectra 570L ISP, 4K60 decoding, and Wi-Fi 6E with Bluetooth 5.2 serve handhelds, kiosks, point-of-sale systems and industrial scanners.
