Next-gen flagship Snapdragon is most likely gonna be called “Snapdragon 8gx Gen1”
Earlier reports pointed out that Qualcomm is about to launch a new generation SoC-developed code-named SM8450 at the Snapdragon Tech Summit held from November 30 to December 2. Its name is no longer the Snapdragon 898 that has been circulating but changed its name to Snapdragon 8 Gen1. In addition to retaining the Snapdragon title and serial numbers, Gen1 stands for Generation 1, which means the first generation.
As Qualcomm announced that the Snapdragon brand will develop independently, the content of the announcement also confirmed this information, that is, starting from the latest flagship product Snapdragon 8 series, a new simplified and consistent naming structure is adopted. To make it easier for its customers to discover and select devices using Snapdragon technology, the mobile platform will transition to a single-digit representation of series and algebra.
According to Twitter user @Za_Raczke, the correct name of the future Snapdragon flagship SoC should be Snapdragon 8Gx Gen1. There is a corresponding icon on the test page of Qualcomm’s official website (the page has been deleted).
It is understood that Qualcomm’s new generation of high-end SoC is a Kryo 780 Prime (Cortex-X2@3.09GHz), three Kryo 780 Gold (Cortex-A710@2.4GHz and four Kryo 780 Silver (Cortex-A510@1.8GHz). The GPU is Adreno 730, the VPU and DPU are Adreno 665 and Adreno 1195 respectively, and it is also equipped with Snapdragon X65 5G baseband, manufactured by Samsung 4nm process.
