On 20 September, The Wall Street Journal reported that Qualcomm is looking to acquire Intel. Although the deal has not yet been confirmed, sources indicate that this could be a big blow to Intel, which has been a leading chipmaker for many years thanks to its x86 architecture.
In 2022, Samsung Foundry experienced poor performance in the production of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processors, which led Qualcomm to switch to TSMC's production. The Taiwanese company was able to offer higher performance at 70 per cent, while Samsung's was only 35 per cent. Next year, both companies plan to start mass production of chips on the new 2nm process, but Samsung is again facing problems.
According to SpeedSmart, the new iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max deliver a noticeable increase in 5G speeds thanks to the new Qualcomm Snapdragon X75 modem.
Apple is likely planning to introduce its own 5G modem in the new iPhone SE 4, which will reduce its dependence on Qualcomm. The company has been working on this goal for a long time, and in 2019, it acquired Intel's modem division.
Samsung may be planning to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor in its upcoming Galaxy S25 flagship smartphones and this processor will account for about 20 per cent of the total cost of the device due to the price hike. Samsung Exynos 2500 may be cheaper, but it will only be available by summer 2025 in the Galaxy Fold 7 and Flip 7.

Samsung has announced a new partnership with Qualcomm Technologies that will focus on developing advanced chips for automotive infotainment and driver assistance systems (ADAS).
As we get closer to the October launch of Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, new details about this flagship processor are emerging. This time, some details about the processor's video core have come to light.
The processor has one Prime core clocked up to 2.5 GHz, three Performance cores clocked up to 2.4 GHz and 4 Efficiency cores clocked up to 1.8 GHz. The novelty supports up to 16 GB of RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.
Qualcomm is preparing to unveil its new Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip at the Snapdragon Summit event in October. According to the latest leaks, the new processor will focus on efficiency and artificial intelligence rather than pure power.
Google has unveiled its new Pixel 9 series, and among the key updates is the introduction of an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor from Qualcomm. This sensor is already known for its use in Samsung's flagship Galaxy devices.
Qualcomm has confirmed that its new Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor will be released in October. Now it has appeared on the Geekbench platform, where it has demonstrated unique performance. Although this is not the final version of the chip, the results are already impressive.
