Get ready for a mobile performance explosion! Qualcomm is already making waves with its new Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, and now, an even faster version is on the horizon.
According to insider Digital Chat Station (DCS), Qualcomm is developing an ultra high-frequency variant of the Snapdragon 8 Elite, boosting clock speeds to an impressive 4.57GHz. This surpasses the standard version's 4.32GHz and could potentially outperform Apple's A18 Pro in processing power.
Benchmarking Dominance:
Benchmarking data suggests that this high-frequency model might achieve single-core scores exceeding 3400 on Geekbench, putting it in direct competition with Apple's latest chip.
Exclusive Editions and Early Adopters:
DCS reports that the ultra high-frequency Snapdragon 8 Elite will debut next year in exclusive editions, including a "Leading Edition" and a "Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy" specifically designed for Samsung's Galaxy S25 series.
The insider also hints at the possibility of the RedMagic 10 Ultra, with its rumored 7-inch+ display, being among the first devices to feature this new powerhouse chip as early as November.
With this new high-frequency variant, Qualcomm is clearly aiming to push the boundaries of mobile performance and challenge Apple's dominance in the premium smartphone market.
