- The first apparent Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 specs have leaked online.
- The new chip is said to feature second-generation Oryon CPU cores with the same layout as the current chip.
- The processor will apparently be built on a more advanced 3nm process and signs suggest it could be based on the ArmV9 architecture.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite is a major leap forward for flagship Android phones, bringing plenty of performance and a wide variety of features. We’re expecting a successor later this year, and it looks like we’ve now got some Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 specs.
Leaker Digital Chat Station has posted some specs for the tentatively named Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 (model number SM8850) on Weibo. The tipster points to a set of second-generation Oryon CPU cores, featuring two prime cores and six performance cores. This layout is in line with the current chipset.
