Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Gets Another Name Change: Meet the "Extreme Edition"
The tech world has been buzzing with anticipation for Qualcomm's next-gen flagship processor, initially rumored to be called the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. But it seems the naming scheme is getting a bit more complicated!
A New Name Emerges:
According to Digital Chat Station, a respected leaker, the upcoming flagship processor will actually be called the "Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition." This contradicts an earlier leak that suggested the same SoC would be called the "8 Elite."
What's Behind the Name Change?
It's possible that there has been a miscommunication or translation error. However, it also suggests that Qualcomm might be positioning this processor as a more powerful variant, potentially pushing performance even further.
The Power of Oryon:
The Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition is expected to feature Qualcomm's first-generation Oryon CPU core, a custom core developed in-house rather than relying solely on cores from ARM. This could result in significant performance improvements, especially for demanding tasks like gaming and high-end applications.
Flagship Devices:
The Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition is tipped to power a number of upcoming flagship Android smartphones, including:
- Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro
- OnePlus 13
- Realme GT7 Pro
- iQOO 13
Stay Tuned for Updates:
While the name change and other details are still rumors, it's clear that Qualcomm is preparing for a major release. We'll be keeping a close eye on further leaks and official announcements from Qualcomm.
