As we all know, the processor is equivalent to the "heart" of a mobile phone. Most people evaluate the quality of a mobile phone based on the processor it is equipped with. Over the years, and Qualcomm have reaped all the market dividends, because in terms of mobile phone processors, most Android phones use Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors, especially in the Android high-end chip market. In the past few years, and Snapdragon are almost in absolute unicorn status.
Maybe there is no pressure from the outside. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 chip started to deteriorate from . The processor was overheated and every time it was upgraded like toothpaste, users gave it a very appropriate name - Fire Dragon. . What’s even more irritating is that Qualcomm turned a deaf ear to these comments from the market, and continued to fail in the next few generations of processors. Anyway, there is no substitute for Snapdragon chips on the market for the time being. Even if the chips are worse, manufacturers should use them. Still have to use it.
However, the emergence of MediaTek Dimensity 8100 and Dimensity 9000 chips this year finally gave Qualcomm a sense of crisis. Dimensity 8100 and Dimensity 9000 are two chips that are highly rated in the market. Dimensity 8100 is known as the mid-range god U, and its performance almost crushes all Snapdragon's mid-range chips. The performance of Dimensity 9000 is not only better than Snapdragon 8Gen1, but also much better in terms of power consumption.
As a result, the trend in the market began to change, and manufacturers began to adopt MediaTek Dimensity processors. Under tremendous pressure from MediaTek, Qualcomm finally made up its mind to make changes. In May, Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 8+ processor using TSMC's 4nm process. According to official reports, the processor has better performance and energy consumption. The first batch of models equipped with this processor will be released in July.
However, MediaTek did not intend to give Qualcomm a chance to breathe. Just in June, MediaTek suddenly released the Dimensity 9000+ processor. Compared with the Snapdragon 8+ processor just released by Qualcomm, it can be seen that MediaTek is preparing this time. Fight hard with Qualcomm. According to reports, Dimensity 9000+ is still not weaker than Snapdragon 8+ in all aspects. Moreover, MediaTek has also guaranteed that mobile phones equipped with its new flagship chip will be released in the third quarter. The time has just coincided with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8gen1+, and there will be another battle between dragons and tigers.
The actual performance of Snapdragon 8+ is not yet clear. After all, there are no relevant models on the market yet, but what is known is that Snapdragon 8+ will become a relatively short-lived flagship chip. Because Qualcomm recently showed on its official website that it will hold the Snapdragon Technology Summit from November 14th to 17th, when the Snapdragon SM8550 will be unveiled, which is the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 chip.
Because the pressure from MediaTek is too great, Qualcomm has no choice but to speed up the rate of chip upgrading. Today's chip market has finally begun to roll up! But the most critical thing now is whether Snapdragon 8+ can win the next turnaround battle. Are you interested in the various Snapdragon 8+ models that will be released soon?
