Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 release date
Qualcomm published a page on its website yesterday that reveals that their event, the Tech Summit, will take place between November 30 and December 2, 2021. A large banner with a boat following the infinity sign in the water and the inscription “More soon!” – and that is about it, he reports GSM Arena. No additional information, at least not until this article is written.
Still, rumors of the next premium Snapdragon 898 have been circulating for some time. In fact, some sources claim that it will the first phone to use the chipset will be the Xiaomi 12 and will be launched by the end of the year. Given that “keynotes” typically take place on the first day of the convention, it can be safely assumed that the Snapdragon 898 will be shown in detail on November 30th or, failing that, on December 2nd at the latest.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 specs
Thanks to a large number of information leaks, including one of the completely unknown devices that uses the Qualcomm SM8450 chipset, otherwise known as the Snapdragon 898, we already have a pretty good idea of its specifications. It is expected to have the first AMR Cortex-X2 CPU core – running at 3.0 GHz, along with three middle cores based on the Cortex-A710 clocked at 2.5 GHz and finally four cores derived from the Cortex-A510 at 1, 79 GHz.
For the GPU, according to previous information, it is the Adreno 730, which between architectural improvements over the Adreno 660 and Samsung’s 4nm manufacturing process can bring up to a 20% performance improvement. We expect an X65 5G modem to connect, with a theoretical maximum speed of 10Gbps.
