Reportedly, Qualcomm will base the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4 on TSMC N4 nodes, despite the chipset&#8217;s slated 2024 release. Engineering samples are rumoured to reach 3 GHz across all 12 CPU cores, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"c9442751\">\n<p>Last month, <a href=\"https:\/\/notebook-check.com\/?id=683434\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kuba Wojciechowski revealed<\/a> more details about the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4, Qualcomm&#8217;s next-generation laptop chipset. Now, the developer has updated their followers about the state of the chipset and its foundations. To recap, Wojciechowski asserted that the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4 would offer the following specifications:<\/p>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>8 performances cores &#8211; 3.4 GHz peak clock speed<\/li>\n<li>4 efficiency cores &#8211; 2.5 GHz peak clock speed<\/li>\n<li>Adreno 740 GPU<\/li>\n<li>Hexagon Tensor NPU (45 TOPS)<\/li>\n<li>36 MB L2 cache<\/li>\n<li>8 MB L3 cache<\/li>\n<li>12 MB system-level cache<\/li>\n<li>4 MB GPU cache<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>The developer added that Qualcomm had developed the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4 to support up to 64 GB of LPDDR5X-4200 RAM, NVMe or UFS 4.0 storage and discrete GPUs utilising PCIe 4.0. Subsequently, Wojciechowski claims that Qualcomm has now created its first Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4 engineering sample, one of the steps to the chipset&#8217;s eventual release. Writing on Twitter, the developer asserts that all CPU cores run at up to 3 GHz, a 400 MHz reduction for its performance cores but a 500 MHz overclock on its efficiency cores.<\/p>\n<p>Potentially, future engineering samples could return to 3.4 GHz though, with efficiency cores allowed to run at up to 3 GHz when needed. For reference, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Apple-M2-Processor-Benchmarks-and-Specs.632312.0.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Apple M2<\/a> can boost its four efficiency and performance cores to 2.4 GHz and 3.5 GHz, respectively. The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Apple-M2-Processor-Benchmarks-and-Specs.632312.0.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Apple M2<\/a>\u00a0also has less cache than Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4 engineering samples do.<\/p>\n<p>Wojciechowski believes that Qualcomm will fabricate the chipset with TSMC N4 nodes, despite the impending arrival of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/MacBook-Air-13-and-MacBook-Air-15-powered-by-3-nm-Apple-M3-expected-to-launch-in-H2-2023.683972.0.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">N3 nodes<\/a>. The developer is unsure which N4 node will underpin the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4 though, with N4, N4P and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/TSMC-announces-N4X-production-nodes-specifically-designed-for-HPC.585997.0.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">N4X<\/a> to choose from, with the latter the most capable of the three. Qualcomm is expected to begin shipping the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4 in 2024, likely leaving the likes of the Surface Pro 9 5G as the most powerful ARM-based Windows machines for a while to come.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"c9442746\">\n<h3>Related Articles<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" rel=\"author\">\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Notebookcheck-Team.212978.0.html?&#038;tx_nbc2journalist_pi1%5Bmode%5D=show&#038;tx_nbc2journalist_pi1%5Buid%5D=278\"><picture><source ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/fileadmin\/_processed_\/7\/3\/csm_alex_alderson_photo_98f8faaa46.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Alex Alderson\"><\/picture><\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Notebookcheck-Team.212978.0.html?&#038;tx_nbc2journalist_pi1%5Bmode%5D=show&#038;tx_nbc2journalist_pi1%5Buid%5D=278\">Alex Alderson<\/a> &#8211; Senior Tech Writer <span title=\"7305\u00a0\"> &#8211; 7305 articles published on Notebookcheck<\/span> since 2018<\/p>\n<p>Prior to writing and translating for Notebookcheck, I worked for various companies including Apple and Neowin.
