Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 GPU SoC Design Analysis

SoC Design Analysis of the SM8850 die found inside the Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite Gen5 Processor provides analysis of the standard cells of the GPU area.

This report presents a SoC Design Analysis of the SM8850 die found inside the Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite Gen5 Processor. This report provides an analysis of the standard cells of the GPU area, which comprise about 70% of the area analyzed in the targeted logic block of the SoC. Three additional sites were analyzed for Dummy cell features. This analysis includes most digital library cells, the structure of metal power rails, and routing efficiency. Standard-cell schematics are extracted to determine routing efficiency, gate density, and a global metal-usage survey. GDSII files are generated from the extracted cells, providing insights into cell library benchmarking, routing, and design rules, DTCO strategy, and layout/local routing strategy.
