Today, a new report about Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship chipset has surfaced. The chipset is expected to be named Snapdragon 875G. The report suggests that Samsung has started mass production of the chipset. A previous report from an investment bank also suggests that Samsung will manufacture the Snapdragon 875G.
Industry insiders also revealed that Samsung won this contract from Qualcomm. This means that Samsung will manufacture the Snapdragon 875G chipset. According to reports, this contract is worth 1 trillion Korean Won.
It is reported that Samsung has begun mass-producing the Snapdragon 875 at its South Korean production line. This is the first time that Samsung has produced Qualcomm’s flagship chipset.
Some sources have reported that the upcoming 5G chipset will feature the Snapdragon X60 modem with an RF-integrated system. It will also support Quick Charge 5.0 fast charging technology (up to 100W).
The chipset will likely use a Cortex-X1 core as the main core and the Cortex-A78 core for the other three performance cores. The other four energy-efficient cores are still unconfirmed.
We previously reported that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 875G is expected to be launched in December 2020. This chipset will power devices from well-known smartphone manufacturers such as Samsung, Xiaomi, and OPPO in the first half of 2020.
