Ooh that looks good. Where are all the tech website journalists? Parked in the Zen5 thread? Write an article about this slide!
It was from Tom’s.

One interesting thing about the last few weeks is many journalists and sources have gotten different info, I don’t know if that’s because some didn’t take it all with them but it sort of seems like they’re deliberately trying to disperse the PR and give everyone a different scoop almost. Was amazed I found that chart just buried under a Tom’s thing. Someone else found the ST curves to recently.
The legend.

Well, I am impressed.

Is Qualcomm playing games with the tech media?

Ok that's a lot of information.
So 8G4 will actually use Pegasus rather than Phoenix?
I don't think so. Revegnus has leaked that 8G4 uses Phoenix-L, and judging by it's name, it seems to be Phoenix with some minor tweaks. The 2800 ST GB6 score corroborates that. So it's technically not the same core as the one used in X Elite.
Also, is there truth towards Phoenix actually being a 2nd generation core internally?
Very intriguing. We know that the original 'Phoenix' designed by Nuvia was aimed at servers. Surely, the Phoenix utilised in X Elite isn't that same core as that one? Perhaps they made some changes to enable it for use in laptops.

"X Elite is the 2nd generation internally and the 1st generation officially released. 8 Gen 4 is the 2nd generation to be officially released and has the same architecture as the next generation X Elite."
If this information is true, there are 2 possibilites:

1) 8G4 uses Pegasus core, same as X Elite G2

or

2) 8G4 will use Phoenix-L, and that means X Elite Gen 2 will also use Phoenix-L.

This is quite an incendiary leak.

1) If 8G4 indeed has Pegasus, it means that Revegnus leaked 2800 GB6 ST is incorrect, and suddenly gives more credibility to the dubious leak that said 8G4 will have 3500 GB6 ST.

2) If that's true, it would mean just 4/5 months after the launch of X Elite, Qualcomm is going to have a mobile chip that beats their PC part significantly in ST.

3) If 8G4 has Pegasus, then the leaked 2026H1 release for X Elite G2 makes no sense (Assuming X Elite G2 also uses Pegasus core). If X Elite G2 is releasing in 2026H1, it should be using the same core as 8G5- which would be the successor to Pegasus.

Btw, Just noticed I have become a platinum member.

What's the membership system in this forum like? Is there a detailed page that describes it?

Is the GPU of the X Elite supported in Blender?

I assume it uses openGL.

Snapdragon X2 series Speculation/Concept Version 2:


After taking into consideration your feedback that Qualcomm is unlikely to make an SoC with a >128 bit memory bus, I eliminated those SKUs. Now we have 2 dies and 4 SKUs.

Other changes include use of LPDDR6 instead of LPDDR5T. @Tigerick Happy?

I assumed LPDDR6 would double it's density vs LPDDR5, hence why X2 Ultimate can have 128 GB RAM in only a 128 bit bus.

Release date has been adjusted to 2026Q1.

The P-core now has +50% IPC over that of X Elite. I believe it is essential to compete with Zen6 and Apple M5.

What do you guys think of this new concept? More reasonable/realistic?

So according to the recent Bloomberg article, Apple M4 is coming this year, 2024Q4.

It seems to indicate that Apple is following a 12 month cadence, now onwards.

That means (if as rumoured) when X Elite G2 arrives in 2026Q1, it will have to compete with the already released Apple M5 (2025Q4).

That means X Elite G2 will have to bring double-generational uplifts in performance, or else Qualcomm is at serious risk of falling behind their competitors.

Semiaccurate article from March 25th, that details Qualcomm's future Nuvia/Snapdragon X/Oryon plans. Why did nobody post this earlier?


One of the up sides to companies not briefing you is that there are no embargoes to bind you. With that in mind, SemiAccurate can tell you about the Qualcomm release roadmap for their Nuvia/Homua/X Elite SoCs barring one bit, err, under embargo.

We will start this out by saying the company is doing the slow trickle of news thing, each tidbit is a separate event with (hopefully) a new hype cycle. Think the 10c being a different ‘event’ from the 12c and so on. Rather than waiting for each new release, we will bring you all of them, bar that one, at once! Isn’t progress wonderful?
The rest is behind the paywall. Anybody here have a Semiaccurate subscription? I'd like to know what information Charlie has got.

I've long stopped reading Semiaccurate since all of it became pay walled and the forum disappeared.

Yeah, and it's questionable whether it's worth paying for a Semiaccurate subscription, especially considering the quality of their content. It's nowhere near the level of titans like SemiAnalysis or even TechInsights.

It’s not Apple Qualcomm has to worry about but Intel and AMD. Apple doesn’t offer windows either on x86 nor arm64. Not saying they aren’t but Apple is not qualcomms primary competition.

"pitti 0x26f 2 * 2.6 + 6 * 1.8
volcano 0x27c 1 + 3 + 4"


"Looks like SM6650 & SM7635 will use A720 - A520 cores.
A leak suggested that the frequency of 6650 is 2.7 - 2.4 - ?, but I don't believe it. It also said that the small core will be A510, and the GPU is 2 times more powerful than 6 Gen 1, which is around 7 Gen 3 level."


https://x.com/energizesettler/status/1778667761130250309




SM 6650 - Snapdragon 4 Gen 3
SM 7635 - Snapdragon 7s Gen 3

Apparently, 7sG3 = 7G3 but the former is fabbed on Samsung 4LPP+ and will have a cheaper price.

I'll wait until Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 or 7 Gen 5 for LPDDR6 + Adreno 8xx series GPU😃

I don't entirely agree with you.

Have you forgotten that Qualcomm will be putting Oryon in smartphone SoCs too, which will pit them against Apple? Sure you could make the same argument you did for WoA...

But you must understand that Qualcomm vs Apple competition is significant for 2 reasons:
1. Part of the Oryon/Nuvia CPU team came from the Apple CPU Team
2. Apple is the leader in performance-per-watt, the very same thing Oryon is focused on.

Well, if the rumours of AMD achieving +50% ST with Zen 5 us true, then Qualcomm is in trouble....

I wonder...Next year we'll see Snap 8G4 with the shiny Phoenix Cores + Adreno 8xx. While it's obvious QCOM plan is to their own cores to come down across the entire stack (4, 6, 7, 8), that'll take some time.

But what about the 7+ and 8s Gen 4? Will we see a 1 Phoenix L + 7 Phoenix M configuration? 2 Phoenix L + 4 Phoenix M? Or maybe even a 8 Phoenix M config?

Or will QCOM actually divest 7+ and 8s from the 8/8+ and keep using stock Arm designs? Would be a interesting way to keep the premium and the premium mid-range lines separated.
