The first product equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen1+ chipset may hit the market as early as June. Qualcomm has been releasing an updated version of its flagship processor in the second half of the year in recent years, but this year, there are rumors that the company will unveil an improved version of the flagship processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen1+, in May. After the launch of the improved version, products that actually use the chip may also be released soon after. According to the Chinese industry chain, the first product equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen1+ chipset made by TSMC could be released as early as June and no later than July this year, although the product will be launched domestically in China. It has been previously reported that Motorola plans to launch the first smartphone with the Snapdragon 8 Gen1+ chipset, so the first Snapdragon 8 Gen1+ smartphone could also be the first smartphone with a 200-megapixel camera.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen1+ is rumored to use TSMC’s 4nm process, which may have a slightly higher clock speed than the standard Snapdragon 8 Gen1. What everyone is most interested in is whether the heat dissipation of the Snapdragon 8 Gen1+ can be improved after changing the foundry and process. However, recent information suggests that even with a process change, the overheating of the X2 supercore of the Snapdragon 8 Gen1+ is still not ideal. In addition, MediaTek is also rumored to be developing a higher-clocked version of the Dimensity 9000.
