Snapdragon chipsets

Qualcomm is gearing up to redefine mobile performance by reportedly launching its next-generation Snapdragon chipsets built on a groundbreaking 2nm process next year. According to a tip posted on Weibo by a credible source from Digital Chat Station, Qualcomm plans to release two new SoCs in 2026: one likely to succeed the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, known as the SM8950, and a less powerful variant, the SM8945, which could be a pared-down version of the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 3. As 2026 approaches, all eyes will be on how these 2nm chipsets perform in real-world applications and whether they can live up to the lofty expectations set by industry insiders. Qualcomm has released a development smartphone and tablet that touts the latest Snapdragon 810 processor. In addition, its Adreno 430 GPU can output 30% more performance than the Snapdragon 805’s Adreno 420 while supporting 4K display resolution. Price tag for both devices are pretty steep, but do consider that having one means you're one of the firsts to have a device running the Snapdragon 810. Interested buyers can snag one this December. Qualcomm is going in for the kill as the company announced two new powerful additions to their 64-bit mobile chip lineup, namely the octa-core Snapdragon 810 and hexa-core Snapdragon 808. Of the two, the Snapdragon 810 sports the better feature set consisting of four Cortex-A53 processors which handles the mundane tasks and another set of Cortex-A57 chips which takes care of the resource-heavy apps.
