Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 rumored to have an ultra-high frequency variant

15 September 2022
The same report mentions the upcoming Dimensity flagship SoC too.

    When will the snapdragon with nuvia designed custom cores hits the market?

      IpsDisplay, 15 Sep 2022Closing the GAP? This made it sound like mediatek is behind... morei dont think bigger cache made cpu faster, you need faster cache and other variables, if Mediatek cant translate that cache to better perfomance then its useless.

        Anonymous, 15 Sep 2022Based on benchmark? 🤣 Phones that play game using below 7... moreI literally mentioned it having the biggest CACHE

        But you ignored that and spin the narrative about benchmarks.. well done

        And even tho the discussion is about CPU you couldn't resist the Qualcomm urge huh you bring up the adreno GPU .. nice straw man

        SMH this is exactly what I'm talking about

          Price should be competitive. I mean 650USD for many full HD+ flagships killers. I am okay with it.

            All this sounds great, but when do we start seeing the 2-Layer Transistor Pixel Image sensors, with atleast 12-bit ADCs, and 14-Bit HDR?

                Not buying Qualcomm Snapdragon unless it comes with NUVIA cores.

                But now the plan is in jeopardy since ARM sued Qualcomm to destroy NUVIA IP design :(((

                  Mihail White, 15 Sep 2022That frequency is for nothing, if you have less than 50% of... moreMost of those Transistors are from Cache (one of the factors that give them the crown on CPU), and obviously they can use that much cache (increasing the price hugely) because they don't sell SoC, they sell phones and their margins are so high selling those phones (vs Qualcomm and MTK that sells SoC to phone makers at lower margins, bc if they increase the price, they wont be selling as much as cheaper alternatives). Samsung failed on the SoC market bc they focused on margins and money, and not performance and experience like Apple. At the end, now that doesnt matter that much, mid tier and above SoC have good performance for almost everyone, and gaming on phone having WAY BETTER options like Switch and Steam Deck is kinda... pointless.

                          The adreno of 855 is better than gpu of D9000.

                            All you have to do is :

                            1) turn off 5G
                            2) use 60Hz
                            3) do not turn your phone into PlayStation
                            4) do not be addicted to the phone. Do not grab it every 5 min. Use free time for activities that are worth time instead.

                              Not very good news, this will agglomerate the Android phones market even more than it is now. Imagine each manufacturer will release two flagship models (one with the standard SD8 gen 2 and the other with ultra-high frequency SD8 gen 2).
                              Not to mention, this will increase the prices. I imagine the normal SD8 gen 2 phones will be around 1000EUR. That will make the SD8 gen 2 ultra phones, 1300-1500EUR. They will go Apple way, I am almost certain of this.
                              I don't particularly like Apple or Sony (as companies), but at least they release few phones per year, not 30 models like all the other manufacturers.

Looks at charger and camera : 200 mp and 200 watts will be normal and next years it will higher . people like to brags everthing to make them looks better.

                                    Closing the GAP? This made it sound like mediatek is behind Qualcomm CPU wise

                                    Mediatek is the one in the lead for CPU performance in the mobile chipset space including the A15 .. and I believe the A16 I think

                                    Biggest CACHE

                                    Perception really is a thing people just won't give mediatek their roses because people has built their personal identity with Qualcomm and to admit any fault on Samsung's end therefore becomes a personal attack on their psychology

                                      Winter is coming! 🔥🙌🏻

                                        That frequency is for nothing, if you have less than 50% of apple transistor and poor thermal management. Not to mention pathetic optimizations.
