Qualcomm is expected to unveil its next flagship SoC — the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 — in the coming months. Handsets like the iQoo 11 Pro and Xiaomi 13 Pro have already been tipped to feature the upcoming flagship chipset. Now, a notable tipster has suggested that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 could be capable of a peak clock speed of 3.4GHz to 3.5GHz. It is believed that Qualcomm may be working on a high-frequency variant that will launch alongside the base Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.
According to a post by tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, Qualcomm might have achieved a clock speed of up to 3.5GHz with its flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The tipster believes that the company could be planning to launch two versions of this chipset, including an ultra-high frequency variant.
The tipster claims that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC will offer an increase in GPU performance over Qualcomm’s current flagship Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, which launched in May. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset has a peak clock speed of up to 3.2GHz.
There is no exact date for the launch of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. However, a previous report suggested that it could be launched sometime between November 14 and 17.
