8 Gen 1+ with TSMC process

The main announcement of the company’s next event will be the successor Snapdragon 8 Generation 1which is made with a 4 nm node Samsung. However, the South Korean company’s process is performing below expectations, in addition to being considered rather weak in performance.

Because of this version 8 Gen. 1+ will be produced on 4nm process technology TSMS, which will solve most of the current chipset problems. Since this is a better node than the current one, Qualcomm will maintain the same GPU and CPU characteristics, gaining performance gains only by using a better process.

Is Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 the new king of mid-range devices?

Since when Qualcomm announced its top SoC under a new name, expectations to see the first model of a new generation for cheaper smartphones were quite high. Now the company will finally have to show 7 Gen. onewhich is rumored to have four performance cores. Cortex-A710 clocked at 2.36 GHz with four more efficient cores Cortex-A510.

mission of the new Snapdragon 7 Generation 1 is already quite difficult, as it will have to replace the popular snapdragon 870, which is one of the favorite models of manufacturers. But it will also face stiff competition from MediaTek Size 8100which is a mid-range chipset with quite impressive performance, surpassing even Snapdragon 888 in multiple tests.
