Your peace of mind, built in

Built-in security
Multi‑layer, chip‑to‑cloud protection from the moment the power’s on. Hardware‑based safeguards, like the Qualcomm® Secure Processing Unit with Microsoft Pluton, help protect the OS, applications, and data from advanced attacks, while secure boot and self‑healing firmware help systems recover before issues impact users. The new optional Snapdragon Guardian Technology extends this protection with always‑connected, out‑of‑band manageability even when devices are powered off.

AI-driven protection

AI‑accelerated biometric authentication, intelligent threat detection, and real‑time response capabilities aid in identifying and neutralizing risks.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

TOPS, or trillions of operations per second, is a key performance metric for NPUs (neural processing units). It represents the number of operations—like additions and multiplications—that an NPU can execute in one second. By analyzing factors like frequency and precision within the TOPS equation, you can gain deeper insights into an NPU’s overall capabilities.
