Qualcomm President announced that the Snapdragon Summit will be held as scheduled in October and will bring Snapdragon 8Gen 4

Qualcomm is the most well-known chip manufacturer in the mobile phone industry. Compared with MediaTek, Qualcomm has a clear advantage in high-end chips, and every launch of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 series has caused upgrading by major mobile phone manufacturers.Recently, Qualcomm’s vice president announced that this year’s Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit will be held as scheduled in October, bringing the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8Gen4 processor.

Recently, at the MWC 2024 event, Qualcomm Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Don Mokdong announced to the outside world that this year’s Snapdragon Summit will be held as scheduled in October, and the new generation flagship platform Snapdragon 8 Gen4 will be released at the conference..

According to previous information, the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 mobile platform will use TSMC’s 3nm process. The biggest change is that it will no longer use the Arm public version CPU architecture and instead use the new independent architecture Nuvia Phoenix.Containing 2 Nuvia Phoenix performance cores and 6 Nuvia Phoenix M cores, forming a new dual-cluster eight-core CPU architecture solution, this will also be a major change in the history of Qualcomm Snapdragon 5G SoC.

In addition, Snapdragon 8 Gen4 will also integrate the powerful Adreno 830 GPU. In the 3DMark Wild Life Extreme test, its score is even about 10% higher than the Apple M2 chip. It is expected that the production version's running score will hit a new high.

It is worth mentioning that Qualcomm has stated that customizing CPU cores will not increase costs, but can help the company find the best balance between processor pricing, power consumption and performance.But at the same time, Qualcomm executives also admitted that the price of Snapdragon 8 Gen4 may increase due to the big leap in performance.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8Gen 4 is undoubtedly the next generation of the most powerful flagship chip. It not only uses TSMC's 3nm process technology, but also replaces it with a new architecture.However, because Qualcomm has repeatedly overturned when changing its architecture, the specific performance of Snapdragon 8 Gen4 is still questionable.
