Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SM7750-AB vs Qualcomm Snapdragon W5+ Gen 2

Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SM7750-AB

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 (SM7750-AB) is a relatively high-performance SoC for Android tablets, phones and handhelds. It debuted in Q2 2025 as a successor to the 7 Gen 3 with a wide array of latest-gen features, such as Bluetooth 6.0 and Wi-Fi 7, onboard.

According to Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 offers 27 percent stronger CPU performance and a 30 percent faster graphics chip than the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3. As usual, however, Qualcomm does not go into detail about the built-in ARM Cortex processor cores.

The manufacturer only mentions a prime core with boost clock speeds of up to 2.8 GHz, four performance cores with clock speeds of up to 2.4 GHz, and three efficiency cores with clock speeds of up to 1.8 GHz. Qualcomm is therefore replacing one of the efficiency cores with another performance core and increasing the clock speeds of the prime core. According to Androidauthority, ARM Cortex-A520 and A720 cores are being used.

The Adreno 722 serves as the integrated GPU and there is some kind of an AI engine - a greatly improved one, Qualcomm claims - too.

Qualcomm Snapdragon W5+ Gen 2

The Snapdragon W5 Plus Gen 2 is an SoC for Android and Wear OS wearables, such as watches, that was released in August 2025. It sports four Cortex-A53 CPU cores, an A702 iGPU, LPDDR4 RAM controller, 4G LTE and NB-NTN (satellite communication) support, and more.

Unlike its brother named W5 Gen 2, the Plus version has an M55-architecture low-power co-processor.
