The firm remained confident it would walk away from the termination without […]
The Snapdragon 8 Elite is Qualcomm’s first smartphone SoC to ship with fully custom Oryon cores, which only means a massive single-core and multi-core performance boost is guaranteed, combined with superior power efficiency and a huge uplift thanks to the Adreno 830. While all of these perks are excellent to have, one major significance of this chipset’s release is its ability to allow flagship smartphone owners to keep their devices for longer, thanks to increased software updates. That is correct, Qualcomm has said that the Snapdragon 8 Elite will enable 8 years of software updates, but there are still some […]
A previous press image leak revealed a considerable amount of information about the Snapdragon 8 Elite, including the fact that Qualcomm has decided to choose a different name for its flagship chipset.

The Snapdragon Dev Kit launch from Qualcomm was similar to Apple’s strategy of introducing a developer kit, making it easier to transition apps between platforms. Unfortunately, the San Diego chipset maker has decided to cancel its mini PC, with the company confirming the update in an email sent to those who pre-ordered it. Fortunately, Qualcomm will offer full compensation for those who went through the effort of acquiring it, but the firm has not mentioned if it will proceed with a future launch. Those who received the Snapdragon Dev Kit will get a complete refund and will not have to […]
Qualcomm hasn't written off the Intel acquisition for now, as the firm is reportedly waiting for the US presidential elections to pass by, before eventually deciding on the deal. Qualcomm Is Eying For The Next US Administration To Come In Power, Likely Analyzing Policies & Antitrust Laws To Proceed With The Deal Well, it is surely interesting to see where we have come along from the past, given that in modern times, we are literally speaking about a "dominant" mobile chipmaker planning to take over Intel, the company that has reigned for the PC CPU markets for quite some time […]
This year will be the first where Qualcomm unveils its first 3nm chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, but it is not the only vendor out there with a silicon that is mass produced on TSMC’s cutting-edge architecture, which raises the competition bar. Going into 2025, the San Diego firm will face some challenges along the way, but it is still expected to generate a hefty sum from Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 sales alone. The latest estimate reveals that the company could accumulate as much as $1.62 billion from a single launch, which will be contributed by the increase in […]
Qualcomm is one of the most widely used chipsets across Android devices, and recently, a disclosure about a zero-day vulnerability in the chipset was found, which is, in fact, a security flaw and can cause damages even before the affected company can develop a fix. Since there is no immediate patch, users and devices are in a vulnerable position till the issue is fixed, and there is a growing apprehension regarding attackers exploiting the compromised devices. Now, the cyberattack's impact on 64 chipsets has been confirmed. A zero-day vulnerability has been found in Qualcomm chipsets, and 64 chipsets were affected […]
The Snapdragon X Elite marks the beginning of Qualcomm’s plans to expand upon its SoC family for Windows notebooks. The company was previously rumored to be working on the ‘SC8480XP,’ which is also referred to as ‘Project Glymur.’ However, according to an update, the San Diego firm is working on not one but two chips, with both of them apparently having complete support for DX12 features and hardware-accelerated ray tracing. Also, with the Snapdragon X Elite featuring 12 Oryon cores, one of the successors is said to be tested with a whopping 18 cores. ‘Project Glymur’ is rumored to be Qualcomm’s […]
Qualcomm will adopt a "unified" approach for its Snapdragon SoCs moving forward with plans to merge mobile and PC architectures under one family.
