Qualcomm Holds March 17th Event, New Snapdragon 7 Series Launch? • Gadget World

Qualcomm scheduled an event on March 17 2023 later in China with the theme of discussing “Snapdragon Mobile Platform”. Although not specifically stated, many rumors point to the launch of the new Snapdragon 7 Series SoC at the event.

The Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 itself launched last spring or in May 2022 to be precise. So, it makes sense that Qualcomm will now reveal the successor of the mid-range chipset at their upcoming event.

However, it is not yet known what naming Qualcomm will use, whether Snapdragon 7+ Gen 1 or directly to Snapdragon 7 Gen 2. However, considering that the launch is approximately one year away, it is very likely that the naming will use Gen 2.

The latest Snapdragon 7 Series is known to have the code number SM7475 which some time ago appeared on Geekbench on the Realme GT Neo 5 SE smartphone. The chipset has a configuration of 1 x 2.92GHz Cortex-X2, 3 x 2.5GHz Cortex-A710, 4 x 1.8GHz Cortex-A510 and GPU Adreno 725 with a clock speed of 580Hz.

If you look at these specifications, this will be the first time that Qualcomm has embedded the Cortex-X2 core on a mid-range class chipset. It is known that the new Snapdragon 7 Series was made with TSMC’s 4nm fabrication.
