It’s only been a month since Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 888 Plus SoC, but rumors for the company’s next flagship chipset, presumably the Snapdragon 898, have already started pouring in. Notably, Snapdragon 898 was previously tipped to arrive as Snapdragon 895.
Tipster Ice Universe took to Weibo (via Mydrivers) to leak the key specifications of the Snapdragon 898 chipset. According to the tipster, the Snapdragon 898 chipset’s new X2 core will be clocked at 3.09GHz. To put that in perspective, the Corex X1 core in Snapdragon 888+ is clocked at 2.995GHz. According to Arm’s announcement from May, the new X2 core is 16 percent faster than the X1 core. Ice Universe Weibo post (translated from Chinese to English)
