Qualcomm has been rumored to be working on new Oryon-based chipsets for Windows devices since late last year. The company even teased the name of the chipset codenamed, “Hamoa,” at its Snapdragon Technology Summit 2022. It was previously thought that Hamoa would only have a 12-core CPU, but a new report claims that there will be other variants with 8 and 10 cores as well.
The new chipsets might launch later this year
According to Winfuture, Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon “Hamoa” chip will not only be available in a 12-core version. The company has also been developing two other variations with 10 and 8 cores, known internally as SC8370, SC8370XP, SC8350, and SC8350X. The main difference between the versions is the number of cores.
The report indicates that in the SC8370 and SC8350 variants, Qualcomm might scale down the count of high-end cores. This could potentially lead to an integration of around six or four high-performance cores, while keeping the energy-efficient cores at four, as before.
The pair of 12-core versions should carry the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4 label for their marketing. And as pointed out by GSMArena, the remaining two variations are likely to find their place in the lower series such as Snapdragon 8c and 7c.
Qualcomm announced that Oryon-based chipsets will be used in Windows-based ARM PCs. The launch date is still unknown, but mark your calendars for October 24th, when Qualcomm will host their Snapdragon summit. The company will introduce the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile processor at the event, and there’s a chance that the Snapdragon “Hamoa” will also be revealed. Stay tuned for more updates!
