Snapdragon 7+ Gen 1: New leak reveals launch info of upcoming MediaTek Dimensity 8200 rival – NotebookCheck.net News

The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 1 is on the way. Word of Qualcomm’s upcoming sub-premium chipset has floated around the grapevine for a while, and it now appears the SoC is finally close to arriving, with a new leak revealing when it will debut.

According to leaker Digital Chat Station, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 1 is scheduled to debut in next month, in “mid-to-late March” specifically. The Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 launched in May last year but found little to no widespread adoption. This upcoming chipset, the SM7475, will be built on TSMC’s 4 nm node, unlike the vanilla Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 which was built on a Samsung process.

“SM7475”, or the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 1, was spotted inside a Realme device on AnTuTu recently. Digital Chat Station reckons the upcoming chipset will be something of a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Lite, and the aforementioned benchmark appearance corroborates that, with the chipset posting performance numbers on par with the last-gen Qualcomm chipset. That, at least, guarantees superiority over its closest rival, MediaTek’s Dimensity 8200—a massive turnaround from the relationship between the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 and Dimensity 8100.

It’s unknown what devices will adopt the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 1, but it can be expected to find better use than the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. In addition to Realme, recent reports also claim Xiaomi could equip the upcoming Poco F5 with “SM7475”.
