Though Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 offers a few differences over its predecessor, it doesn’t hold a candle to Apple’s 5nm M1 chip. The San Diego chipmaker has even admitted that Apple’s latest silicon is an excellent sign that computing is headed in the right direction, but at the time, the company’s executive didn’t mention that Qualcomm was working on something that will rival the M1. Well, a new report dives deep into that, and here are all the details you should know.

Though the new Snapdragon chip's actual model name will be different, WinFuture mentions that it sports the internal number Snapdragon SC8280. Apparently, it’s being tested on a notebook with a 14-inch display, and the die size suggests that it may house more cores than the ones running in the Snapdragon 8cx. According to the report, the new Snapdragon SoC measures 20 x 17 millimeters in size, while the Snapdragon 8cx measured 20 x 17 millimeters.
