The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 single-chip system turned out to be far from the coldest and most energy efficient. We don’t know yet how the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 will perform, but there are already rumors about a completely new Qualcomm platform.
Well-known insider Ice Universe claims that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (SM8550) is already performing very well in terms of power efficiency. The first tests show that the new SoC will be better than the current Qualcomm and Snapdragon 888 platforms in this indicator.
Given that Qualcomm clearly doesn’t have production samples of the new SoC yet, this is very good news. They can especially please those who want to buy the Samsung flagships of the Galaxy S23 line, since, judging by the latest data , all of them in all markets will be based on the new Qualcomm SoC, that is, on Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
Ice Universe has reported accurate information about smartphones and image sensors from Samsung and other manufacturers many times. In particular, he published the exact specifications of Redmi K40 and K50, as well as Xiaomi 12.
