Snapdragon 8 Gen1+ Exposure! TSMC's 4nm process sample is still thermal and power consumption is limited

Not long ago, Qualcomm officially released a new generation of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, built using Samsung 4nm process, which has been significantly improved compared with the previous generation in terms of CPU/GPU and other aspects.

At the same time, the 4nm process will theoretically have better control over heat generation and power consumption, but from the current evaluation, the effect of Samsung 4nm does not seem to be so ideal, and everyone is looking forward to TSMC's 4nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

According to previous news, Qualcomm may launch the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ flagship in the second half of this year, compared with the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 will have some simple improvements, and the biggest highlight is that it will be converted to TSMC 4nm process.

Industry insiders said that TSMC's 4nm process is better than Samsung in terms of size and power consumption, if Qualcomm will hand over part of the order to TSMC FOUNDRY, then the TSMC version of the Snapdragon 8 platform and the Samsung version may have a gap in performance or power consumption, obviously the TSMC version of the Snapdragon 8 platform is more optimistic.

This makes everyone very curious about the performance of this new flagship chip.

However, it should be noted that the final effect may not be as satisfactory as everyone thinks.

According to the latest news from the blogger's digital chat station: "Mt6983 and SM8475 are still hot at present, and the power consumption of tsmc 4nm is not much reduced... ”

That is to say, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ based on TSMC's 4nm process is not ideal, compared with Samsung 4nm, the improvement in power consumption and heat generation is relatively limited.
