 blogger Digital Chat Station revealed that the product schedule of Qualcomm’s next-generation flagship platform Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 (model SM8850) has been advanced, and in theory, the release time of the new iterative phone will be further advanced.

It is reported that the performance of Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 GPU will be significantly improved. It is built based on TSMC’s N3P process, which is TSMC’s third-generation 3nm process.

Previously, developers found traces of SM8850 in the HypeOS 2 code, which means that Xiaomi will be equipped with this chip. As usual, the Xiaomi 16 series will most likely be the first to launch the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2.

According to leaked information, the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip will continue to use the cluster design of the first-generation CPU, still with a 2P+6E configuration, but the main frequency will be increased again and the performance will reach new highs.
