Qualcomm is expected to introduce the successor to Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which is allegedly called Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 soon. We have heard some details about the upcoming mobile platform and now a new leak hints at a second variant of the same. Here are the details.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 – Specs Update!
Noted leaker Digital Chat Station (via Weibo) has revealed that the alleged Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform will have an "ultra high frequency" variant with a clock speed between 3.4 and 3.5 GHz. This will be much higher than the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1's 3.2GHz clock speed.
Plus, GPU performance is also said to increase, making it capable enough to "beat Apple's original A-series chipsets". The case in question seems to be the recently introduced A16 Bionic chipset, which can deliver up to 40% faster performance and 50% better GPU.
As for the next generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, the variant in question could be the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 but this is just speculation. The upcoming chipset is expected to follow a 1+2+2+3 four-cluster architecture and may be based on TSMC's 4nm process technology.
