Snapdragon 8+ Gen1: faster clocks, new TSMC N4 node

Today, Qualcomm introduces an updated Snapdragon 8 Gen1 processor for high-end phones. 

At Qualcomm Night in China, the company introduced its updated SoC for flagship mobile devices. Although Gen1 has only started shipping with new devices a few months ago, the company behind the Snapdragon series is ready to announce its successor, or more precisely a refresh. The 8+ Gen1 should be considered a mid-series update.Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 is based on TSMC N4 process technology. The choice of a Taiwanese foundry gave Qualcomm a chance to increase the clock speeds compared to Gen1 SoC, which is manufactured by Samsung. We are looking at noticeable frequency increase over Gen1.

Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 vs 8 Gen1:
  • 1x Cortex-X2: 3.0 GHz -> 3.2 GHz
  • 3x Cortex-A710: 2.5 GHz -> 2.8 GHz
  • 4x Cortex-A510: 1.8 GHz -> 2.0 GHz
  • Adreno GPU: +10% clock
According to the official specs, there are no changes to other IP blocks of the processor, the 8+ Gen1 is just a performance and power optimized SKU using new node. This unlocked up to 15% power saving on the whole chip. Furthermore, the company claims their GPU now consumes 30% less power and CPU has gained 30% in power efficiency.

First devices with Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 are to ship in the third quarter this year. Qualcomm confirmed that there will be several new phones from Asus, Motorola, OnePlus, Honor, and Xiaomi featuring this new processor.
