Qualcomm Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1

4C/4T · 1.7 GHz

Hybrid version of the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 that adds a 22 nm always-on co-processor beside the 4 nm main SoC. Running at 250 MHz with an Arm Ethos-U55 machine-learning core, a HiFi5 DSP, a 2.5D GPU and its own Bluetooth and Wi-Fi radios, the co-processor keeps the display, sensors and notifications alive while the main processor sleeps.
