The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset has fallen short of expectations due to overheating. That is why Qualcomm is preparing to launch the successor to its current processor, named Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+.
This new chipset part of the idea of being less prone to overheating, since TSMC’s 4nm process is recognized as more efficient. Hopefully the silicon will bring clock speed improvements and faster AI processing than the current high-end Snapdragon.
The model number of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is SM8450, and the 8 Gen 1+ will reportedly be identified as SM8475, which means Qualcomm expects it to be a notable step forward compared to its sibling.
Sources predict that this new chipset will go official sometime in May. Considering that Qualcomm’s 5G summit will be held in San Diego from May 9-11 and that the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ phones will be unveiled before the end of May and available in June, it seems pretty reliable that this is the case. be.
