Now TSMC is also in production?
A few weeks before Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit, a rumor has surfaced about a new 7-series chip. It could be a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 1. The Plus model should again have three CPU clusters.
Roland Quandt, the generally well-known WinFuture editor and leaker, announced on Twitter that Qualcomm is working on a new chip with the model designation. SM7475 According to the working nomenclature, it should be a Plus model of the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 (SM7450), as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 have model numbers SM8450 and SM8475.
Not the first 7 chip with three CPU clusters
According to Quandt, this will be the first Snapdragon 7 chip with a three-cluster design, but there are Already several 7 chips with three CPU clusters: Snapdragon 765G, 768G, 780G and 7 Gen 1 (in Snapdragon overview). Prime and Gold Core are each based on the same Cortex core type, but are clocked differently. Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 has one Cortex-A710 with a maximum speed of 2.4 GHz (Prime), three A710s with a maximum speed of 2.36 GHz (Gold) and four A510 with a maximum speed of 1.8 GHz (Silver). On the other 7 chips with three clusters, the clock difference between Prime and Gold cores is slightly larger.

Snapdragon 732G | 8 nm (8LPP), Q3 2020 | Kryo 470 (2x 2.3 + 6x 1.8 GHz), Adreno 618 | Spectra 350, Snapdragon X15 (LTE) |
Snapdragon 720G | 8 nm (8LPP), Q1 2020 | Kryo 465 (2x 2.3 + 6x 1.8 GHz), Adreno 618 | Spectra 350L, Snapdragon X15 |
Quandt only provides scattered information on the upcoming Snapdragon 7+ Gen 1. The Prime core and three Gold cores will offer a peak clock of at least 2.4 GHz, while the Silver core clocks up to 1.8 GHz. Unless Qualcomm changes the core types, a maximum increase of 100 MHz can be expected.
Manufacturing is likely at TSMC
The Snapdragon 8+ is very likely to have chips made by Qualcomm’s TSMC, just like Gen 1. Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 is still being produced by Samsung. Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, due to changes in Qualcomm’s manufacturing Significantly improved efficiency and heat development. The company may introduce the new Plus model Snapdragon Summit, which runs from November 15 to 17 Qualcomm will also present the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 there.
