The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip was handed over to Samsung’s foundry for casting, causing it to be a very difficult dragon to drive, even if it was made by the 4nm process. Qualcomm is very dissatisfied with Samsung’s casting chip, so there are rumours that Qualcomm has given the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 design to TSMC for production, and it will become the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ version.
Many reliable sources point out that Qualcomm will be expected to release this Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip produced by TSMC in May 2022, and the phone equipped with this chip is also expected to be officially launched in June 2022, which will be debuted by Lenovo, Motorola, OnePlus, and Xiaomi. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ is currently expected to perform better and emit less heat than chip that made by Samsung.
The model number of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is SM8450 and the model number of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ is SM8475. From the model number, we can know that the performance is expected to be improved. Whether the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ produced by TSMC will bring surprises to users, we still need to wait until the official release to know!
