Qualcomm is rumored to officially announce the Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite 2 in September, but before that, we have come across a bevy of details surrounding the specifications of the upcoming flagship chipset.

For one thing, the SM8850 will reportedly be mass produced on TSMC’s third-generation 3nm process, with a tipster now stating that the SoC will sport a new Adreno 840 GPU, and an NPU that will deliver more than double the TOPS compared to the Snapdragon X Elite.

Here are more details that you will be interested in.

The majority of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 details have been mentioned previously, such as the independent cache size increasing to 16MB

Once more, Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station has gone on the overseas micro-blogging social network to talk about the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2, with some of the information being repeated.

One of those specifications is that Qualcomm is rumored to retain the same ‘2 + 6’ CPU cluster as the Snapdragon 8 Elite, but the main difference is that the San Diego firm intends to use the newer Pegasus cores, with the performance ones said to operate at 5.00GHz.

Despite the same 8-core configuration, the upgrades and the Adreno 840 allow the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 to deliver a 40.7 percent higher benchmark score in AnTuTu than the fastest Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered flagship.

This indicates that a combination of specification improvements will give Qualcomm’s SoC an edge against its immediate predecessor and the competition.

Additionally, the NPU is said to receive a major performance bump, with the tipster noting that it will achieve processing speeds of 100TOPS, making it more than twice the Snapdragon X Elite’s NPU’s capabilities, which is 45TOPS. Of course, let us not forget the independent cache size increase to 16MB, with the overall L2 cache raised to 32MB.

The remaining information is recycled from Digital Chat Station’s previous posts, so you can read through the summary in the image above. It is also crucial to treat this rumor with a pinch of salt, because the future announcement could showcase a different set of specifications than what is mentioned here, so stay tuned
