28 December 2024
Way earlier than you'd expect, in fact.

DeepIn2U, 10 hours agoThe Snapdragon 8 Elite 'could' be considered QC&#... moreTheir laptop processors are NOT the same as their smartphone processors, even if they share a similar name. Why are you mixing up apples and oranges? You probably think a laptop RTX 4090 is the same as a desktop RTX 4090 (when in reality it performs like a RTX 4080). The boost in performance from 8 Gen 3 to 8 Elite is because of the oryon cores and from dropping all the efficiency cores in favor of all performance cores, it has NOTHING to do with the X Elite processor found in laptops. It is only obvious that the termals will take a hit with this decision, which is why the next chipset should aim to rectify that. Stop putting "X" emojis onto people when you're the clear ignorant here for thinking 2 processors with similar name are the only reason for the boost in performance.

    I don't know if he believes his own hype, or what more Sha not showman!

    He didn't state if the annual summit would also move the latest introduced Snapdragon 8 Elite
    (October 24-26 2023 Snapdragon 8 Gen 3)

    "Snapdragon Summit 2024 was a three-day technology conference held in Maui, Hawaii from October 21–23, 2024. The event showcased Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon technologies"

    An unsubstantiated guess, which makes no sense, as manufacturers timelines won't be affected by this earlier release. Reason for earlier, better GPU zero information on anything or everything connected, like cost.

      SERIOUSBLACK47, 5 hours agowhat is x200 minihttps://m.gsmarena.com/vivo_x200_pro_mini-13434.php

        Slimmer faster and what???
        Every year chips are slimmer and faster from previos generations. even many years old SD845 or so is capable to run same things as current smartphones.
        And flagship phones 5-10 years old still takes 15-30 seconds to boot i mean run its OS from turned off just like the latest generation.
        Nothing new happened. Only lot more marketing gimmick were given for customer satsfaction.

Other than that S24 Ultra has better camera than S24 Plus. But I didn't like the design of S24 Ultra and didn't need S pen. That's why bought S24 Plus. Easier to hold and use. Better hardware than its small brother S24. But S24 Plus has good camera overall.

                                It matters only if us cheaper

                                  The saddest part for me is that LPDDR5T and LPDDR5X HighPerformance Rams are already out in market and chipset supported yet brands used the 2yr old tech

                                    uhhh,8 Elite have no efficiency problem whatsoever.
                                    just watch some Geekerwan video,danm it.
                                    I blame Xiaomi for their HyperbugOS 2.0

                                      Not too surprising honestly, their latest chipset was a bigger jump than what 8 gen 3 was to 8 gen 2, and with new tech (oryon cores) comes issues, because this is basically their "first" gen with a new tech. The mid-year chipset sounds more ironing the potential issues the 8 Elite could've brought to the table (termals, and the like). Do not expect a high jump in performance for this one.
