As we all know, since the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 adopted Samsung 4nm process at the beginning of this year, which led to the problem of chip overheating. Qualcomm urgently released Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 using TSMC 4nm process, which stabilized its reputation. However, from a practical perspective, Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 can only be regarded as a firefighter, not an orthodox sequel to Snapdragon 8 Gen1.
According to previous online news, Snapdragon 8 Gen1's real iterative product, Snapdragon 8 Gen2, will be officially released in November this year. It is expected that will be the first to be released in China. The launch of three generations of chips in a row in a year, and the pace is indeed a bit compact. For consumers who have bought Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 chip phones, one fact they have to face is that their phone processor will become a sub-flagship shortly after they have bought it.
Recently, more news about Snapdragon 8 Gen2 has been exposed. According to the latest information released by the well-known digital blogger @Digital Chat Station, Qualcomm will bring a new iteration in November - the flagship chip of Snapdragon 8 Gen2. The performance of this chip will usher in a significant improvement compared to the previous generation, and its frequency may be at the super high level of "the peak of the factory". The scale of GPU will be improved again this year. Without talking about power consumption, the second-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform "works harder on the GPU limit performance and you can play Apple 's regular A-generation series, but there is still a certain gap in CPU performance, and the performance of medium and low frequency energy efficiency still needs to be worked hard. In this regard, Apple A-series processors are still very advantageous." If
does not consider the power consumption issue, both Qualcomm Snapdragon and MediaTek Dimensity actually have the strength to fight the Apple A-series, but in reality, these two chips may have to pay twice the power consumption to achieve the same performance as Apple A-series in some frequencies, which is unacceptable for mobile phones with extremely high integration. Although Qualcomm can compete with Apple A series in high frequency, more than 80% of the use scenarios of mobile phones are concentrated on medium and low frequencies, and the energy consumption ratio in this aspect is that Qualcomm has a big gap from Apple.
It is reported that the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 chip will be built based on TSMC's 4nm process, and its performance will hit a new high. The chip will adopt a new "1+2+2+3" eight-core four-cluster architecture design, among which the super-large core is upgraded to Cortex X3, which is 22% higher than the Cortex X2, and the large core is upgraded to Cortex A715, which is 5% higher than the Cortex A710, and the energy efficiency is increased by 20%. The small core is still Cortex A510, and Antutu has a breakthrough of 1.2 million points.
TSMC's strength is still believed. It is expected that TSMC will not be able to realize the 3nm process next year. By then, both Apple's A-series processors, Qualcomm Snapdragon, and MediaTek Dimensity will be greatly strengthened. After the release of the
Snapdragon 8 Gen2 chip, the Xiaomi 13 series should meet us immediately. Of course, there is a high probability that there will be no Ultra version supported by Leica. It is almost certain that it will be Xiaomi in China. It is not clear internationally whether it is Xiaomi or Samsung . If you have friends who plan to change the phone recently, you can consider whether to wait.
