Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4: New leak points to 3 GHz speeds across all CPU cores and TSMC N4 node

[Redaktion]

According to a new report, Qualcomm has started creating Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4 engineering samples. Reportedly, Qualcomm will base the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4 on TSMC N4 nodes, despite the chipset's slated 2024 release. Engineering samples are rumoured to reach 3 GHz across all 12 CPU cores, too.

Sounds good. Why is the L2 cache so large?

Cool, maybe they will finally be able to outperform a A13 this time...

Oh great, another casual with 0 technical knowledge trying to have a tech opinion. And what a surprise, it's a shitty one.

1. This is an ARM notebook chipset (Chromebooks mostly), not a mobile SoC so this 8cx Gen4 is not designed to contend with Apple's A-series;

2. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is competitive against the A16 Bionic. Apple only advertises its huge advantage during the first few minutes in benchmarks, but never mentions how hard their silicone throttles once put under a stress test like PassMark, in which the Apple SoCs tend to not only lose their advantage but they also fall behind Qualcomm's chipsets;

Here's hoping it is competitively priced. Windows on Arm has drastically improved but needs devices that are cheaper and faster than their currently overpriced hardware. Until they can offer comparable or better performance than windows on x86/64 they shouldn't even be priced at parity with a comparable windows on intel/amd laptop. I'm hoping the nuvia acquisition finally puts that at parity or better performance with native software.

Then it shouldn't contend with the apple A-series, it should beat it. It's a beefed up snapdragon mobile SoC, similar  to the apple M series, it should be contending with it and not just barely beating the A series. And the term SoC kinda muddies the water, because u can call the 8cx a mobile SoC aswell, there's nothing stopping u from doing that. laptop cpus are also usually called mobile cpus, and and the 8cx has features built into the chip just like with phone SoCs, nothing's stopping u from calling it a mobile SoC.

that other guy's point is completely valid, qualcomm is behind and all they've done is jack up prices, atleast according to phone companies that try to explain why their phones are expensive.

And yet we will prob never see this in a tablet for at least another 3-4 years after phones get them~ Idk why tablet manufactures refuse to put flagship chips in their tablets....
