Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Qualcomm officially announced the Snapdragon 8 Elite less than a week ago, and it did not take long for the Linux kernel team to post various patches for the chipset. While future patches are inbound that will cater to the GPU, it pretty much means that the SoC can run PC games with the use of emulation, since it might take a while for native titles to launch for the platform. It will also be possible to run professional PC applications on devices featuring the Snapdragon 8 Elite thanks to ‘day one’ Linux support The Director of Engineering at Qualcomm put […]
Qualcomm not only significantly improved the Snapdragon 8 Elite’s compute performance by adding custom Oryon cores, but the Adreno 830 GPU and its clock speed increased to 1.10GHz, ensuring that the SoC is tailor-made for AAA gaming up to a certain extent. We see the first glimpse of its graphics performance when compared to the Radeon 780M in 3DMark Steel Nomad Light where the smartphone chipset actually performs better than a GPU that is found in a gaming handheld, the ASUS ROG Ally. As for what this means for gaming possibilities for devices powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, that […]
Qualcomm might have inadvertently revealed that there is a more powerful version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite that might power future smartphones with robust cooling solutions. It was previously revealed that this chipset variant’s performance cores were overclocked at 4.57GHz instead of the default 4.32GHz, allowing the silicon to beat Apple’s A18 Pro in Geekbench 6’s single-core results while extending the lead in the multi-core category. Now, according to one tipster, the upgraded Snapdragon 8 Elite will be found in a device sporting a 7-inch display, which, at this point, belongs to the REDMAGIC 10 Ultra. REDMAGIC 10 Ultra could offer […]
Qualcomm previously detailed the specifications of the Snapdragon 8 Elite, stating that the newest chipset’s custom performance cores could reach a clock speed of 4.32GHz. The company made no mention that these in-house Oryon could run beyond their default frequencies, but it appears that it is a possibility. The San Diego firm demonstrated this in a new Geekbench 6 benchmarking run, with its single-core results now matching the A18 Pro. As for the multi-core results, they are even higher than before, as the silicon’s Oryon cores now run at 4.57GHz. Increased clock speeds help Snapdragon 8 Elite to achieve new […]
The Snapdragon 8 Elite is currently the fastest smartphone chipset in Geekbench 6’s multi-core results, which is a major deal because it has been years since Apple has finally met its match. However, the same benchmarking application reveals that Qualcomm’s latest and greatest SoC continues to lag behind the A18 Pro when it comes to power efficiency and single core results. Snapdragon 8 Elite consumes slightly higher power than the A18 Pro but posts a lower score in Geekbench 6’s single-core results The tests performed by the YouTube channel Aifu Technology ran various tests to showcase the Snapdragon 8 Elite’s capabilities, […]
Qualcomm’s official announcement of the Snapdragon 8 Elite was quickly followed up by a series of benchmarks carried out on a reference design smartphone that features the latest chipset. In short, it obtains remarkable scores in the latest Geekbench 6 results, and competing Android flagship chipsets, including the newly unveiled Dimensity 9400, pose no threat to the Snapdragon 8 Elite. New Geekbench 6 multi-core results show that the Snapdragon 8 Elite is now the undisputed king, with scores exceeding the 10,000 points threshold The latest single-core and multi-core data was compiled by content creator Wekihome, showcasing how far the Snapdragon 8 Elite […]
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. While we will touch down on some of the specifications that were mentioned earlier, our main focus will be on everything that the company announced now, so let us dive into the details. Snapdragon 8 Elite can deliver up to a 45 percent performance boost compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 The 8-core CPU cluster is said to be up to 44 percent more efficient than the Snapdragon […]
A new name has been decided for Qualcomm’s latest and greatest SoC, thanks to the latest press image leak and it is the Snapdragon 8 Elite. The chipset has reportedly been designed on TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process and is the company’s first smartphone silicon that features custom in-house Oryon cores that promise incredible performance gains in both single and multi-threaded workloads. The new Adreno 830 that is paired with the Snapdragon 8 Elite also delivers a hefty uplift in pure rasterization and ray tracing acceleration, so let us check out all the details here. New Snapdragon 8 Elite is also […]
