Currently the Snapdragon 888 holds the record for the processor most powerful ever. MediaTek, despite its efforts, has not yet managed to produce an equally powerful SoC. However, we know that this record lasts poco less than a year since his heir will take its place. It will be the Snapdragon 895 we talked about a few days ago? We don't know his REAL NAME, but at least the factory name is known. To reveal this detail and also some other smallness is Roland Quandt of WinFuture.
We do not know his real name, the factory one is SM8450, heir to Snapdragon 888: WinFuture tells us something about him
According to what was revealed today by Roland Quandt, who also told us about one Snapdragon 888 "Lite"), Qualcomm would already be working on the heir of the current flagship processor. The Snap 888 is integrated on the best devices currently on the market such as the newborn Xiaomi Mi 11 or the unborn child OnePlus 9. And his heir, as usual, will be equipped for the future My 12 e OnePlus 10 (if these were their names). But what do we know about him? A few things, albeit poco, emerged from the words of the German leaker.
Qualcomm is already testing the first samples of the next generation high-end processor, which is currently only called SM8450. We know it will be the next top of the range as the current one is called SM8350. In the documents available to German colleagues, the code name "Curved Waters". As always, it was not chosen at random. The current spearhead takes its name from one location in Hawaii while the next the village name on the island of Oahu and can be translated as "curved water".
Qualcomm engineers are already testing samples, with the development platform they work with 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256 GB of UFS memory. There are also some important ones novelty in terms of camera technology, because it looks like a new camera module called "Leica1". Yes, a collaboration is likely but it is too early to say for sure.
It goes without saying that the presentation period will be the end of 2021 while that of launch early 2022.
