Qualcomm is developing a new processor for the Snapdragon Wear smartwatch, which is similar in architecture to the Exynos W1000, the chip that debuted with the first Galaxy Watch Ultra.

The chipset will get powerful Adreno 840 integrated graphics

The flagship Snapdragon X2 Elite is expected to be announced on 23 September

The event will take place at the end of September

Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 will deliver significant performance gains

Performance of top smartphones will reach a new level

Qualcomm seems to be returning to cooperation with Samsung Foundry after a three-year break. According to SEDaily, one of the variants of the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 processor for the flagship Galaxy S26 smartphones will be manufactured on a 2-nm process at Samsung's factories.

Qualcomm introduced the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset back in October last year, so one would expect its successor, tentatively called Elite 2, to debut in October this year. However, according to rumours from China, the announcement of the new product will take place at the end of September.

The chip is 31% faster than its predecessor

The smartphone is expected to be unveiled in April

MediaTek is preparing to release a new Dimensity 9400+ chipset, which will appear on the market in early April. This processor has already demonstrated its capabilities by taking leading positions in the ETH Zurich AI Benchmark.

The first test results of the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 chipset in the AnTuTu benchmark have appeared on the Internet. According to data from Chinese insider Digital Chat Station, the new processor's performance is 40.7 per cent better than its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8 Elite.

Qualcomm has reportedly decided to entrust the production of its new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip to Taiwanese company TSMC rather than Samsung, despite the latter's proven 4nm process technology.

The Snapdragon 8s Elite is likely to get around two million points in the AnTuTu test
