Exposed: Snapdragon 8 Gen5 CPU frequency reaches 5.0GHz: Qualcomm's most radical mobile phone chip.

On September 25, according to media revelations, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen5 adopts the same design as Snapdragon 8 Gen4 and consists of 2 high-performance cores and 6 efficiency cores.

The revelation says that the high-performance core code name of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen5 is Pegasus, and the CPU frequency has reached an astonishing 5.0GHz. The CPU frequency of the efficiency core is 4.0GHz, which is much higher than 4.32GHz and 3.53GHz of Snapdragon 8 Gen4.

It is worth noting that Qualcomm is fully preparing for the mass production and launch of Snapdragon 8 Gen4. It is still too early to discuss Snapdragon 8 Gen5.

If the revelations are true, then the performance of Snapdragon 8 Gen5 will once again set a new industry record and see a significant improvement.

It is worth noting that there was previously news that Qualcomm is considering adopting a dual foundry strategy of Samsung and TSMC. It is not excluded that Snapdragon 8 Gen5 may be publicly manufactured by Samsung and TSMC.

At the previous Computex 2024 exhibition, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon said that Qualcomm is considering establishing a dual sourcing partnership.

According to public information, chips such as Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 8 Gen1 were once handed over to Samsung for foundry. However, due to the immaturity of Samsung's 5nm and 4nm process technologies at that time, the reputation of the Snapdragon 8 series was affected, prompting Qualcomm to turn to TSMC.

Analysts said that Qualcomm's consideration of dual foundry in the future should, on the one hand, be to reduce costs, and on the other hand, it can also hedge against the adverse effects caused by process problems of a single supplier.
