Qualcomm released its latest flagship chip Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 this week, which uses an ARM architecture CPU core. Qualcomm also revealed that its 2024 chip, Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, will use Qualcomm’s self-developed Oryon CPU core.
Qualcomm senior vice president Chris Patrick said custom CPU cores “doesn’t necessarily mean more expensive,” but allows Qualcomm to find a different balance between pricing, power consumption and performance. However, it is noted that he also admitted that the cost of Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 may increase because Qualcomm wants to pursue “amazing performance levels.”
If Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is really more expensive than Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, it may lead to an increase in the price of flagship phones in 2025, such as the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, Xiaomi 15 series, and so on.
