While manufacturers are preparing to launch the first smartphones based on Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, the web is already actively discussing its successor – SM8550, tentatively referred to as Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Judging by the ambitious launch date of Xiaomi 13 , its debut will take place in late November or early December . However, this did not prevent the authoritative informant Digital Chat Station from getting the configuration of its architecture already now, almost six months before the release. The chipset will be manufactured at TSMC’s 4nm process, and, more interestingly, will offer a unique configuration of four types of cores (predecessors offered three types).

Thus, two pairs of productive blocks (2 x Cortex-A720 + 2 x Cortex-A710) will make up the company of the super-powerful Cortex-X3 core. The trio of energy-efficient Cortex-A510 and the Adreno 740 graphics accelerator complete the composition. For now, we can only guess how the rejection of one energy-efficient A510 core in favor of the powerful A720 will affect the performance and temperature conditions of the new product.
