Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset launch date accidentally leaked by Qualcomm, here's when it might launch

Qualcomm accidentally announced the launch date of its upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. Traditionally, Qualcomm introduces its premium flagship processors in the first half of December.

But the company may have different plans for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset this year, as it may come a month earlier. Qualcomm plans to host this year's Snapdragon Summit from November 14-17. The company will likely reveal the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 at the event.

The November event has been removed from Qualcomm's official website and may be a false alarm. However, a recent leak has suggested that the Xiaomi 13 will launch later this year, making the November release of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 ideal for Xiaomi and Motorola as they are in the race to launch the first phone with the latest flagship. do not forget. processor. Qualcomm is strictly following the ritual of not disclosing the date of the Hawaii summit five months before the event, and this early announcement may have been a mistake by the company.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 configuration

Earlier, we had the first bits of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC announced by Digital Chat Station. The leak indicates that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor will come with surprising CPU changes as it will use the old 1+2+2+3 CPU quad-layer CPU layout instead of the 1+3+4 design. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 codename SM8550-Kailua will use Adreno 740 GPU and 4nm TSMC process. The upcoming flagship processor will pack one Cortex-X3, two Cortex-A720, two Cortex-A710 and three Cortex-A510 cores, of which Cortex-X3 and Cortex-A720 are 32-bit cores.

Launch is still a long way off, and until then, more information will come to the fore. Unless Motorola or any other smartphone maker buckles up and runs at full speed on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 powered smartphone, the Xiaomi 13 could be the first handset to come with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 at heart.
