Qualcomm is gearing up for one of the biggest launches this year. Scheduled for the Snapdragon Summit, the chip designer will announce the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC. It would be clocked at 4.3 GHz with the possibility of overclocking it further in the case of a \u201cPlus\u201d version. It uses TMSC's 3nm process and packs eight custom-made Oryon cores along with a 7th generation Snapdragon X80 5G RF modem.<\/p>\n
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC will be the most powerful chipset ever<\/h2>\n
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 was announced in October 2023 with a maximum frequency of 3.4 GHz. If that's not enough for you, get ready to witness the epitome of performance with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC. Several leaks suggest that it will surpass the 4.0 GHz mark once it arrives. The chipset is likely to reach the maximum frequency of 4.3 GHz with its octa-core configuration. <\/p>\n
Qualcomm will follow MediaTek's steps in ditching efficiency cores. Instead, it will use two main cores and six high-performance cores. When it comes to the main cores, we're talking about Qualcomm's custom-made Oryon cores. It remains to be seen how the high-performance cores and inefficiency cores integrated into the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC work in its favor or against it.<\/p>\n
