Qualcomm has officially announced that the Snapdragon Summit will be held from November 30 to December 2, 2021. Although no information has been announced yet, the Snapdragon SM8450 chipset is expected to be launched at the event, as is usual.
As the processor’s launch date approaches, phones with this chipset are starting to be advertised. Today, the General Manager of Lenovo’s China Mobile Business Unit announced that Lenovo will launch the Moto Edge X with this chipset.
Digital Chat Station also revealed that Motorola may be competing with Xiaomi for the first launch rights of the SM8450. The upcoming Moto Edge X may feature the SM8450 chipset, and Motorola may be the first manufacturer to launch a phone with the SM8450.
The chip is expected to use Samsung’s 4nm process and feature an Adreno 730 GPU. It comes with an octa-core with a base frequency of 1.79 GHz. The frequency of mass-produced chips may increase, which will enhance performance but also increase power consumption.
Previously, Digital Chat Station revealed an engineering prototype with an SM8450 chipset. The processor specifications are one 3.0 GHz core, three 2.50 GHz cores, four 1.79 GHz cores, and an Adreno 730 GPU.
