Qualcomm has continued to release flagship smartphone chipsets in the ‘1 + 3 + 4’ CPU configuration, and its latest Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 is no exception. The company’s strategy may change, however, with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 launch, and it is rumored to arrive in a completely different configuration.

Instead of a ‘1 + 3 + 4’ CPU cluster, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 could switch to a ‘1 + 2 + 2 + 3’ configuration and is expected to be mass produced on TSMC’s 4nm architecture. Even though TSMC is said to put its cutting-edge 3nm technology to work later this year, it will likely be reserved for Apple first. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is said to feature the model number SM8550, with the SoC rumored to be codenamed Kailua.
