The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC recently surfaced with an AnTuTu score of over 3 million. It will probably go official in September or October this year, but before that, Qualcomm may announce a new Snapdragon 8 Gen series SoC with the model designation SM8635.
The word comes from reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, who said the SM8635 is built on TSMC’s 4nm node and features a Cortex-X4 core clocked at 2.9GHz, with graphically intensive tasks handled by the Adreno 735 GPU. DCS also claims that the SM8635 has an AnTuTu score of around 1.7 million.
It’s unclear what the marketing name of the SM8635 will be and when it will be official, but it will likely sit between the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Gen 3 and could be called the Snapdragon 8s Gen 2 or the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Lite.
Roland Quandt claims that there is another Qualcomm chip similar to the SM8635, with model code SM7675, a Snapdragon 7 Gen series SoC. We expect to get more clarity on the location of these two chips when more details about them are revealed.
