The new flagship chip from Qualcomm will be built on a 3nm process and equipped with custom Orion cores. Unlike the previous Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which had an architecture of cores 1 + 3 + 4, the new processor will have a completely different layout - 2 + 6, which promises a significant increase in performance.
