In the ever-evolving landscape of mobile technology, Qualcomm, a key player in the semiconductor industry, has teased the imminent arrival of two new Snapdragon chipsets. With a focus on enhanced performance and efficiency, these chipsets are set to redefine the capabilities of future smartphones and other mobile devices.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC: Powering the Next Generation of Devices

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC (System on Chip) has recently made waves in the tech community, boasting an impressive AnTuTu score of over 3 million. This powerhouse of a chipset is anticipated to be officially unveiled around September or October this year. While specific details regarding its features and capabilities are yet to be disclosed, its high benchmark score hints at significant improvements in performance compared to its predecessors.

SM8635: A New Addition to the Snapdragon Lineup

Alongside the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC, Qualcomm is also gearing up to introduce the SM8635 chipset. Manufactured using TSMC’s cutting-edge 4nm process node, this chipset is expected to offer a balance of power and efficiency. According to reliable sources, the SM8635 will feature one Cortex-X4 core clocked at 2.9GHz, supplemented by the Adreno 735 GPU for handling graphically intensive tasks. Despite its slightly lower AnTuTu score of around 1.7 million, the SM8635 promises to deliver impressive performance, making it a compelling option for mid-range and upper mid-range smartphones.

Positioning and Naming

The positioning of the SM8635 within Qualcomm’s Snapdragon lineup is yet to be confirmed. However, industry insiders speculate that it will likely occupy a space between the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Gen 3 variants. Possible marketing names for the SM8635 include Snapdragon 8s Gen 2 or Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Lite, although official confirmation is pending.
