Qualcomm is one of the market leaders in this fast-growing area of mobile processors, and it presents its new creation, Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. Based on insiders, this new chip will continue the design of the 2 + 6 structure of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, where two high-performance cores will be implemented, as well as six energy-efficient cores. Actually, the real hype has to do with clock speed boosters that Intel has hinted at.
Readily available as high-performance Pegasus cores, they are expected to hit a top clock rate of 5.0 GHz, while the silicon-efficient cores would run at 4.0 GHz. This is an uplift from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 that had the performance core running up to 4.32 GHz while the big cores to 3.53 GHz. These enhancements imply a shift in the direction that establishes new industry benchmarks in processor speed and performance.
Manufacturing of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chips will take place on two distinct semiconductor fabrication nodes. The regular version of the chip, achieving these high clock speeds, will be produced using TSMC’s advanced N3P Node. On the other hand, a specialized version designed presumably for Samsung Galaxy devices will utilize Samsung’s SF2 Node. Consensus on the particular clock speeds still remains undisclosed, but what is expected is that the performance of this variant may even prove superior to the TSMC version depending on the success of the SF2 technology.
Qualcomm has adopted two suppliers for its leading chipset, the TSMC and Samsung Foundry, as a calculated risk in supply chain diversification, leveraging the respective strengths of each manufacturer’s expertise in the art of chipset production. Besides increasing production versatility, it also prepares Qualcomm to become the market innovator and performer.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 not only takes the performance to various heights but also creates the preference of the brand, which reflects the difference in its models and thus affects the consumer’s choices in deciding the brand they commit themselves to. Such strategic differentiation is expected to bear significant contributions within the next generation of mobile devices.
