This year’s Snapdragon Summit will take place between September 23 and 25, a month earlier than usual. The key event will presumably be the unveiling of the second-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite flagship processor, designed for smartphones and tablets. According to leaks, it will be manufactured using TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process technology and will be able to function at clock speeds of up to 4.4GHz, slightly higher than the previous 4.32GHz model. The new chip’s performance is expected to increase by about 30 percent.
According to preliminary estimates, the new chip’s performance will increase by about 30 percent.
In addition, the next generation of Snapdragon X ARM processors designed for personal computers are expected to be announced at the summit, although details are still extremely scarce.
The trend this year seems to be toward shifting release schedules. Google recently revealed plans to release a stable version of Android 16 as early as June, with Samsung devices getting the update shortly thereafter. The postponement of the presentation of the new Snapdragon chip could also suggest an earlier debut of new flagship smartphones, such as the Xiaomi 16 or OnePlus 15.
