Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite: Unveiling the Game-Changing Chipset Set to Revolutionize Mobile Performance

Jakarta –

Qualcomm will announce its most powerful chipset later this month. Instead of Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, the name of the chip is Snapdragon 8 Elite.

Snapdragon 8 Elite is expected to be Qualcomm’s fastest chipset to date, offering a significant performance boost compared to its predecessor. Although the details of the official specification are still kept under wraps, rumors are circulating that the Snapdragon 8 Elite will be built on TSMC’s 3nm manufacturing process, promising better power efficiency and performance.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite has eight cores, including two performance cores and six efficiency cores. Qualcomm is believed to have adopted Nuvia’s internal architecture.

For your information, Nuvia was founded by former Apple engineers and was acquired by Qualcomm in 2021. The company even has Snapdragon X series laptop chips based on this architecture.

Several benchmarks that have been released show an increase in CPU performance up to 35% and GPU up to 30% compared to Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. This will definitely improve the mobile gaming experience, multi- work and use other heavy applications to a higher degree.

Obviously, based on Geekbench test results released by Digital Talk Station, Snapdragon 8 Elite got an outstanding score. In the single-core test, it scored 3,236, and the multi-core scored 10,049.
