Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen4 will adopt the 3nm process for the first time

It is reported that Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen4 chip will adopt TSMC's 3nm process technology for the first time, which marks Android intelligence mobile phone It has officially entered the 3nm technology era. Previously, Apple had taken the lead in adopting the 3nm process, and its first 3nm chip A17 Pro was installed on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. TSMC has planned five different versions of 3nm process technology, including N3B, N3E, N3P, N3S and N3X. Among them, N3B is the first 3nm process node of TSMC, and A17 Pro uses this process.

Qualcomm plans to use TSMC's second generation 3nm process N3E in its Snapdragon 8 Gen4 chip. This process is an improved version of N3B. Compared with N3B, it has better power consumption performance, higher yield and lower production costs. In addition, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen4 will adopt the self-developed Nuvia architecture and no longer rely on the public architecture of Arm, which will be an important change in the history of Qualcomm 5G SoC. According to the news from the digital chat station, although the performance of the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 is excellent, its power consumption performance is not ideal due to its high frequency setting. It is expected that the frequency may be reduced during mass production.
