Default "Snapdragon 888 will... transform smartphones into professional cameras," said Qualcomm in a press release today

Update:

Here's the press release, where it's interesting they (truthfully) don't
claim it's "Qualcomm Silicon", given that it's clearly "Samsung Silicon":
o Qualcomm Redefines Premium at Snapdragon Tech Summit Digital 2020 (Press Release)
https://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2020/12/01/qualcomm-redefines-premium-snapdragon-tech-summit-digital-2020

I'm not sure how much is hype & how much matters, but they said it has:
o "mmWave and sub-6 across all major bands worldwide"
o "support for 5G carrier aggregation"
o "global multi-SIM"
o "stand alone, non-stand alone, and Dynamic Spectrum"
o "26 tera operations per second (TOPS)" AI
o "lower-power always-on AI processing"
o Updateable GPU Drivers"
o "Desktop Forward Rendering"
o "frame rates achieving up to 144 frames per second (fps)"
o "photos and videos at 2.7 gigapixels per second or roughly 120 photos at 12MP resolution"

As always, take any press release for what it is (MARKETING shills)...
o Anyone care to share which, if any, of those are critically important?

Qualcomm isn't calling it Qualcomm Silicon as it's clearly Samsung Silicon.
