Qualcomm might be working on a new processor in the Snapdragon 8 Gen series. It’s not the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 that has been recently rumored. Instead, rumors suggest that it could be a lighter version of the current flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor.
Digital Chat Station, a reliable source for leaks, recently shared details about a new chip, codenamed SM8635, on Weibo. Although the tipster didn’t share its official name, the codename suggests that the chip likely belongs to the Snapdragon 8 series.
According to the leaked information, the chip is equipped with a 2.9GHz ARM Cortex X4 core and an Adreno 735 GPU. The tipster also shared that it has an AnTuTu score of over 1.7 million. If accurate, this score would place the SM8635 above the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in terms of raw performance. So we are guessing, it could be a lite version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
However, Roland Quandt, another leaker, recently shared that Qualcomm has two similar chips in development — the SM8635 and the SM7675. This brings up some confusion about the position of the SM8635 within the Snapdragon lineup.
The “SM7675” is reported to be the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3, and Digital Chat Station previously said it to be the most powerful chipset in the Snapdragon 7 series.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the chip itself, several smartphone models are rumored to be equipped with the SM8635. These include the Poco F6, previously expected to use the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3, the Redmi Note 13 Turbo, and an upcoming iQOO Neo-series phone.
