Leakster: the Snapdragon 898 will run its Cortex-X2 prime core at 3.09 GHz

29 July 2021
The successor to the Snapdragon 888 is expected to be fabbed at Samsung's 4 nm foundries and the new process will allow for a clock speed boost.

Anonymous, 29 Jul 2021Can somebody explain what the advantage of larger cache and... moreThe point of caches is to have data closer to compute cores. The less compute cores have to fetch data from outside processor itself, the faster it'll do things. That's the basic of caches. As soon as you need to fetch data from RAM or NAND, you're in millisecond delays compared to caches that have latency in nanoseconds.

      Can somebody explain what the advantage of larger cache and why is it used for ?

      What's the purpose of the L3 cache?

        I am disappointed I thought it would run the mounstrous NUVIA Core why still of the shell ARM core??


        When will they use NUVIA????

              Wgtr, 29 Jul 2021How many cores does Apple have with a frequency of 3 GHz?Frequency is not everything as it was evident many times through history. From high clock frequency Intel Pentium 4's to AMD FX Bulldozer chips with 5GHz... People seriously need to stop obsessing over big numbers.

                so, 888 is v8 based, we know that, but, 898 is v9? are you sure? (don't go by the images posted here)

                  More performance ... more heat... and with that in mind... it's gonna be really toasty

                    Will be a toaster...phones will be 250gm plus bricks with cooling system plus fan also

                      Wgtr, 29 Jul 2021How many cores does Apple have with a frequency of 3 GHz?One in the A14.
                      If it uses the two big cores the frequency is reduced to 2.9Ghz.

                      QC (and Samsung later) could be doing something similar: 3.1Ghz ONLY when using a single core and reduce it to a more thermally manageable 2.8Ghz when multicore tasks are needed.

                        Would be nice if these processors be capable to run AAA games or something. Like they get faster and faster all the time but for what they get faster? I dont get it what's the point. Most of what you do with smartphones dont need this power house and things that take more processing power are only few programs that probably be better to run on a Desktop windows or Mac OS so other thing is games but most of the games on mobile phones are in a stage of playstation 2 era or something like that

                            These nm claimed fabrications are all one giant scam. They can't even output peak density of 7nm in big quantities and all of the available 5nm chips have subpar densities.

                              Gaming phone please!
