Qualcomm announced the name of its next-generation custom Arm core at the Snapdragon Technology Summit in November this year: Oryon, but did not provide specific details. According to the latest news from Winfuture, Qualcomm’s new PC platform Arm processor code-named “Hamoa” uses 12-core specifications, 4 performance cores + 8 energy efficiency cores.
According to reports, Qualcomm is currently testing two models of this processor: SC8380X and SC8380XP. As can be seen from the code name, this processor will be the successor of the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 (SC8280). In addition, this processor will support LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.0 storage and integrate the Snapdragon X65 5G modem.
Qualcomm’s latest PC processor, the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3, uses four Cortex-X1 cores and four Cortex-A78 cores and is currently installed in notebook products such as Lenovo ThinkPad X13s.
Qualcomm has said that the new Oryon chip is scheduled to provide samples to OEMs in the second half of this year and will be officially commercialized in 2024.
