El Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 plus fabricado en 4 nm se podria lanzar en mayo

Just as the Snapdragon 888 had its improved update called Snapdragon 888 Plus, it was to be expected that the latest from Qualcomm would also have a more powerful version . And, while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 surprised everyone at its launch with the performance scores achieved in the main benchmarks, it was only a matter of time before a chipset capable of competing with it arrived.

MediaTek’s Dimensity 9000 has managed to put Qualcomm’s new thing on the ropes, but the American technology company has an ace up its sleeve to regain the throne. This is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ , the improved version of its latest chipset that aims to take mobile performance to another level.

Like its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ will be a 4nm manufactured chipset. However, unlike the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 whose production is handled by Samsung Foundry, the Plus version will be manufactured by TSMC . It is rumored that the Korean company’s 4nm technology is not as efficient as that of the Taiwanese manufacturer.

Although there is no official information yet, it is very likely that Samsung Foundry has lost Qualcomm as a customer for the manufacture of its next chipsets. In addition, the famous leaker Yogesh Brar has revealed exclusively for the Onsitego media that this new Qualcomm processor will be presented in early May . This means that the first phones to bring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ under the hood will arrive in mid-June.

However, other mobile brands that are in dispute are OnePlus, Motorola and Lenovo . We will have to wait to find out more details and find out which mobile will have the honor of launching the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+.
