Qualcomm is reportedly working on a new chip to compete with Apple’s future M-series processors. According to reports, the next processor is being developed under the codename ‘Hamoa’ and will be sold as “Snapdragon 8CX Gen4”.
Kuba Wojciechowski, a tipster, previously mentioned the 12-core SoC and now claims that the silicon’s name will be Snapdragon 8CX Gen 4.
The company is most likely working on many chipsets, but the one with the best performance is claimed to feature eight performance cores.
However, it is unclear whether the new processor will use Qualcomm’s Oryon cores.
According to the report, Qualcomm is not creating a new graphics processing unit (GPU) for the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4 because it is believed to use the same Adreno 740 graphics engine as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
Qualcomm CTO Jim Thompson disclosed Qualcomm’s ambitions to produce a next-generation ARM-based SoC (system-on-a-chip) meant to set the performance benchmark for Windows PCs during the company’s Investor Day in November last year, which was expected to compete with iPhone maker’s M-series CPUs.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, Qualcomm introduced ‘Snapdragon Satellite,’ a satellite-based, two-way messaging solution for premium smartphones that would compete with Apple’s satellite messaging feature at the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
