#Snapdragon rumors

Qualcomm may be gearing up to release the next Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset earlier than expected, according to a recent leak from Digital Chat Station on Weibo. If the rumors are accurate, the new SoC could debut around mid-2025, a significant shift from the usual late-year launch timeline. The successor to the Snapdragon 8 Elite, launched in October 2024, is rumored to bring substantial upgrades in GPU performance. 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.
