When is Qualcomm\u2019s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 coming? Launch window confirmed\u060c<\/p>\n
As the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona draws to a close this year, we have witnessed many new devices, technologies and services. Samsung<\/a> gave a live presentation of its first-ever Galaxy Ring, prompting a competitor, Honor, to announce its foray into the smart ring market and flip phones, for that matter. In the phone space, Nubia is set to introduce budget-friendly gaming, flip, and camera<\/a> phones to the global market. Amidst these exciting<\/a> releases, the backbone of these devices, the chipsets, has also gained attention, and we have updates on that front as well.<\/p>\n Qualcomm, a leading chipset manufacturer, has confirmed that the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will launch in October 2024. This information was provided by the company's Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), Don McGuire, through a video published on X (via Android titles<\/a><\/span>).<\/p>\n Additionally, McGuire also mentioned that the company's mobile platforms are being reinvented with the Oryon processor. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is expected to feature Oryon cores, which are Qualcomm's custom-designed processor cores.<\/p>\n Alongside the new Oryon cores, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is expected to receive a significant upgrade to its NPU (Neural Processing Unit). McGuire briefly mentioned this improvement during his interview with Snapdragon insiders.<\/p>\n Recent reports suggest that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will not have power-efficient cores. Instead, it should have two large, high-performance “Phoenix” CPU cores and six mid-performance “Phoenix” CPU cores.<\/p>\n The leaks also indicate that reaching speeds of 4GHz with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is a real possibility. Although the leak did not specify which core will reach the 4GHz speed, it will likely be the two large, high-performance Phoenix cores.<\/p>\n
