Rumored Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 variant said to push performance past Apple's iPhone chips

• A recent leak suggests the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will also have an "ultra-high frequency" variant.
• The new SoC may potentially clock in anywhere between 3.4 and 3.5GHz.
• Qualcomm's Snapdragon Summit is set for November 15-17, when we expect the company to unveil the 8 Gen 2.

There is a leak about the upcoming chip and a high- performance variant.

We could see an "ultra-high Frequency" version of the new chip in 2023 according to the leaker. This chip could possibly reach clock speeds of 3.4- 3.5 GHz. This would be a bit higher than the one featured on some of the best phones in the world today, with a speed of 3.2 GHz.

The post suggests that the new chip may have more power than the new A16 chip from Apple. It's a bold claim.

We are assuming that the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip is going to be revealed at the upcoming Snapdragon Summit. An earlier leak suggested the new chip could have four different cores.

There is a rumor going around that the Chinese company will reveal its next flagship phone later this year and that it will use the latest version of the chip. If the rumors are true, the next flagship from the Korean manufacturer would probably use the same chipset and launch it's new flagships in early 2023.

TSMC might be able to build the same process as the 8+ Gen 1 if the rumors are to be believed.

It would be interesting to know how the chip is positioned. The 8 Gen 2 is going to be better than the 8+ Gen 1 because of that. It's possible that this is the "Plus" version of the chip that will be launched later in the year.

We are only a few months away from hearing anything official about the 8 Gen 2 and hopefully learn more about the chip.
