Qualcomm to Release Snapdragon 8s Gen4 Chip in 2025, Unit Price and More

TapTechNews September 28th news, source YogeshBrar tweeted on the X platform yesterday (September 27th), exposing that Qualcomm plans to release the Snapdragon 8s Gen4 chip in the first quarter of 2025, and believing that Qualcomm will not change the naming scheme at this stage.

TapTechNews attached the source information as follows:

Launch SM8750 (Snapdragon 8 Gen4 chip) in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Launch SM8735 (Snapdragon 8s Gen4 chip) in the first quarter of 2025.

SM8775 chip has not been confirmed yet, and this chip is estimated to be the Snapdragon 8+ Gen4 chip.

According to the GeekBench跑分库 information, the performance core of the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 has reached 4.47 GHz. It may be that due to the small demand in the consumer market for high frequencies, Qualcomm has shelved the Snapdragon 8+ Gen4 chip.

The media report believes that the unit price of the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 may be $240, which is 20% higher than that of the Snapdragon 8 Gen3, which means that manufacturers will find it difficult to further reduce the price of mobile phones, and in the future, it is unlikely to have a cost-effective model equipped with this chip and priced at $500-$600 (TapTechNews note: currently about 3500-4200 RMB).
