The smartphone market is buzzing with the latest news from Qualcomm. They just launched the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, which boasts a top speed of 4.32 GHz – the fastest in the market right now. Many smartphone makers are already using it to power their flagship devices.
Now, rumors are circulating that Qualcomm is testing its next flagship chip, the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. According to Digital Chat Station, a Chinese tech insider, the new chip has hit a record high score of 3.8 million on the AnTuTu platform. That’s a significant jump from the 2.69 million scored by the iQOO 13, which runs on the current Snapdragon 8 Elite.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 is expected to feature Qualcomm’s own Oryon CPU, with two prime cores, six performance cores, and an Adreno 840 graphics chip. It’s likely to be built using TSMC’s 3nm technology.
This new chip could give Qualcomm a strong edge in the market. If the rumors are true, the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 could be around 41% faster than its predecessor. We’ll have to wait for more tests to confirm, but one thing’s for sure – Qualcomm is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with smartphone chips.
