Qualcomm rumored to be prepping overclocked Snapdragon 8s Gen 4

Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset in April, and it's been used in seven smartphones so far as an upper-midrange option.

A new rumor from China today claims Qualcomm will diversify its SoC range even more, as it's getting ready to offer a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 "Pro" or "Plus" version.

While the source of the leak doesn't say it, we assume this means a higher bin of the chip, most likely with some overclocked cores. This will allegedly result in some "turbo" performance compared to the non-Pro version, but it remains to be seen how big of a difference we'll actually see.

It's unclear when this chip will get official, but Qualcomm is holding its annual Snapdragon Summit later this month, so we assume that's when it's going to be announced. At that event, we also expect to see the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
