Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 could dethrone the Apple M4!

Ana sayfa / News

According to reliable sources, Qualcomm’s next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 processor could gain a significant advantage in the performance race against Apple’s M4 SoC chip. In particular, thanks to its Armv9-A architecture and SME (Scalable Matrix Extension) support, the new processor is said to outperform Apple’s desktop-class processor in single-core performance. So how will this be possible? Details in our news…

In fact, Apple has long been the leader in mobile processor performance, but Qualcomm and MediaTek’s recent breakthroughs have started to challenge that. The 8 Elite Gen 2 and MediaTek Dimensity 9500 will be manufactured with TSMC’s N3P manufacturing process and will be able to achieve higher clock speeds. This could help the processors approach the 4000-point threshold in Geekbench 6 single-core tests.

SME support suggests that these processors will make a big leap in artificial intelligence and compute-intensive tasks. However, the 8 Elite Gen 2 is rumored to offer more efficient performance by using a mix of Samsung’s 2nm SF2 and TSMC’s 3nm N3P nodes.

Of course, in the meantime, it is rumored that Apple will not stand idle and when the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 is released, the successor of the M4, the M5 SoC, will be introduced with a new iPad Pro. Nevertheless, Qualcomm and MediaTek’s current multi-core performance dominance could put Apple under more pressure in the mobile devices segment with the A19 SoC.

In short, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 will heat up the competition in the smartphone processor market. Apple may have to accelerate its innovations to gain the upper hand in this race with its next-generation processors. What do you think about this?
