MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9500 is also rumored to perform similarly in single-core benchmarks, suggesting growing competition in the processor market. However, Qualcomm is known to strive for a balance between speed and thermal management. The current version 8 Elite at 4.32GHz has a tendency to overheat. Therefore, one of the main challenges for the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 will be to improve thermal management without sacrificing performance.

Manufacturing: bet on TSMC and improved N3P process
According to the latest leaks, TSMC will remain the sole manufacturer of Qualcomm’s new flagship, although it was initially reported that Samsung’s facilities would also be involved. In producing the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, TSMC will use the N3P process, which is more energy efficient and better performing than the N3 used in the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Perhaps this decision will reduce overheating of the new chip while increasing performance.
