Qualcomm unveils Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset design

A few days back, we touched on some info related to the upcoming generation of Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets. For now, it is known that it will launch several upcoming flagship models, including the Samsung Galaxy S22 family.

Of course, this is also the Xiaomi 12 model. Before that, we looked at the features that will come with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset.

It is also possible that Qualcomm will provide several different versions, each of which will be different in some segments and will provide some features that the other model Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

It has not yet all crystallized properly and is therefore not known. What makes us happy is that today we know a bit more than yesterday and it refers to the design of the chipset itself.

To be more precise, the logo is known, which, as usual, is leaking on the Internet. Although many think that the name will be Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, it has not been confirmed yet, but of course, it has not been refuted.

Some say Qualcomm will call its next-generation chipset the Snapdragon 8Gx.

The attached photo shows the design itself, but next to it you can see the inscription or number and text string "Test123", which suggests that this is one of the possible designs (which means that this look does not have to be final when published).

We have to say that Qualcomm already offers a similar chipset and it is the Snapdragon 8Cx, so we hope that many will not often confuse the names of these two certainly very different chipsets.

Especially when you know how 8Cx is made for Windows computers based on ARM architecture. While the Snapdragon 8Gx will be ultimately made for the flagship smartphone models.

As we were told, we hope that Qualcomm will present at least two versions of the 8Gx chipset. Since we know that the mentioned version of 8cX has two other versions, they are 8C and 7C.

Of course, all this is not confirmed by the rumors from Qualcomm itself but stems from a series of rumors and allegations. The presentation of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset will be on November 30 (next Tuesday) and then we are sure that all the unknowns will be completely revealed to us.

The first model of the Snapdragon 8Gx-powered smartphone will be the Xiaomi 12 (with its Xiaomi 12 Lite, Xiaomi 12, and Xiaomi 12 Pro models). While after that all eyes will be on Samsung and the introduction of the Galaxy S22 series of smartphones (Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus, and Galaxy S22 Ultra). Motorola also announces its Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset-powered model during 2022.
