The Snapdragon 855 was been reported incessantly to be Qualcomm’s first ever 7nm FinFET chipset, thus crossing the performance and efficiency limitations and bringing several benefits to high-end smartphones of the future. However, the chipset manufacturer might be mulling a name change for the upcoming SoC and according to a reporter, the Snapdragon 855 might not end up being the official name of the company’s first silicon to be made on the next-generation architecture.

Heading over to Twitter, Roland Quandt, a reporter from WinFuture states that Qualcomm could be thinking of changing the name of its 7nm SoC so that customers and OEMs might not find any confusion when it comes to separating the chips’ names found in smartphones and notebooks. Thanks to the ‘Windows 10 on ARM’ initiative, Qualcomm’s chipsets are now readily found in notebooks and hybrid machines, but it will take them a long time to get that proper traction in the market thanks to overwhelming competition.
