Although Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is a flagship chip that will definitely be launched later this year, But before it gets to the chip, it looks like there will be a new model in between, according to Digital Chat Station (DCS).
DCS has revealed that it is working on the SM8635 chipset, which currently has no official name. But according to the codename, it is expected to be in the Snapdragon 8 Gen Series. According to leaked information, the new chip will have a speed of 2.9GHz through the main core which is Cortex-X4 and Adreno 735 GPU.
AnTuTu scores have also been leaked. Which achieved more than 1.7 million points and importantly, if the information on this score is really accurate, it will allow the SM8635 chip to overtake the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, so it is likely to be the SD 8 Gen 3 Lite chip model or it will be. It’s likely to be the 8s Gen 2.
Really wonder what the difference between SM8635 and SM7675 will be. They both show up looking basically identical, but…. I’ve never seen this happen with anything Qualcomm. Two model numbers for the same chip…

However, famous hacker Roland Quandt has shared information that Qualcomm has two chips in development: the SM8635 and SM7675. This has caused a bit of confusion as to where exactly the SM8635 chip is located, which in the SM7675 is probably named. Of course, it is Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3, the most powerful 7 Gen Series chip.
