Snapdragon 8Gx Gen 1 Brand Leaks Previous to Qualcomm’s Huge Launch

Simply days earlier than the massive announcement on November 30, a brand for the brand new Qualcomm chip, Snapdragon 8Gx Gen 1, has been leaked.

In accordance with GSMArena, the leak was noticed in a staging website for the corporate. The title of the web page is ‘Testing icon’ and the icon in query sits beside a ‘Test123’ label.

Clearly, it is a template that’s meant to be stuffed in with actual textual content (that’s the level of the staging website), however that hasn’t occurred but.

The title of the brand new flagship chipset was presupposed to be ‘Snapdragon 8 Gen 1’. Qualcomm did not truly verify the precise title; it simply referred to “our latest flagship Snapdragon 8-series platform”. So it is potential that the 8-series chips will truly be named ‘8Gx’.

Qualcomm already has chips named ‘8cx‘, the flagship choices for Home windows-on-ARM laptops. There may be additionally an 8c, which sits just under the 8cx, and an entry-level 7c. If ‘c’ stands for ‘pc’, what does the ‘G’ stand for?

As per GSMArena, in accordance with the present naming scheme, some chipsets get a ‘G’ suffix to indicate increased clock speeds for the GPU, e.g. the Snapdragon 765 and 765G. And the ‘x’ merely means high-end.
