Qualcomm schedules Snapdragon flagship launch event

Qualcomm scheduled a new product launch event that’s set to take place later this week on Wednesday, April 2. The event will see the debut of the brand’s next-generation flagship chipset though it’s not expected to be a more powerful version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite but rather a successor to last year’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip which powered upper midrangers like the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra, Honor 200 Pro and Poco F6.

According to the latest rumors, the 8s Gen 4 chip will feature a 1+3+2+2 architecture with 1x Cortex-X4 prime core clocked @ 3.21 GHz, 3x Cortex-A720 cores @ 3.01 GHz, 2x Cortex-A720 cores clocked @ 2.8 GHz, and 2x Cortex-A720 cores clocked @ 2.02 GHz.

Qualcomm is also expected to bring an Adreno 825 GPU, which will be similar to the Adreno 830 found in the SD 8 Elite but with fewer cores, alongside 6MB SLC cache and 8MB L3 cache. The new chip is said to score over 2 million on AnTuTu.

The first batch of phones with the 8s Gen 4 are expected to launch later in April with the iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro and Redmi Turbo 4 Pro leading the way.
