Qualcomm previously announced that it would launch the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 later this year. The company recently shared an official video on YouTube, and eagle eyed people were able to spot the codename of the upcoming chipset and even the reference device. So let’s have a look.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Codename, Reference Device Surface in Video
The chipmaking giant shared a new video on YouTube titled “Behind the Silicon: Snapdragon X”. Qualcomm unknowingly confirmed the name of the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which is dubbed “Pakala”.We get a glimpse of the reference device being used just before the codename was spotted in the video. Unfortunately, this video does not mention anything about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and talks more about the Snapdragon X Elite.
To recall, it was previously believed that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 would carry the codename “Sun” on benchmarking platforms and “Pakala” for the hardware, which was just confirmed. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is a highly anticipated high profile release from Qualcomm in a while now. It isn’t simply an annual release of its top end mobile AP, rather it marks a major chip redesign for the brand. Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is apparently ditching the ARM cores in favor of its proprietary Oryon cores.
Rumors have hinted that this processor could even surpass the Apple A18 Pro chipset. Although, this is still unconfirmed at the moment. Based on what we know so far, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 could also support LPDDR6 memory. The chipset is set to be unveiled in October 2024, so stick around for more updates.
