Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4 rumored to be only slightly better than Apple’s M2 SoC

Qualcomm was previously reported to be experiencing unspecified issues with the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4, the company’s first SoC to ship with bespoke Oryon cores made possible by the Nuvia acquisition. In terms of performance, there looks to be advancement with the chipset, with one rumour saying that it is somewhat better than the Apple M2. However, its expected launch date may negate the benefit, especially since the M3 is only around the bend.

A report from SemiAccurate on ‘Qualcomm’s Oryon SoC’ disclosed some minor details about its performance. While no official name was given, the processor has previously been referred to as the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4.

According to Charlie Demerjian’s claim, the Oryon cores have met their performance and power targets and are said to be somewhat better than the M2, which runs several portable Macs and Apple’s newest iPad Pro lineup.

The top-tier model has a 12-core CPU divided into eight performance cores and four designed for power efficiency, thus it may surpass the M2. However, given that the M2 is only an 8-core SoC with four performance and four power-efficiency cores, we expected the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4 to match the M2 Pro’s multi-core capabilities.

Despite this performance advantage, the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4 may be released after the Apple M3, which is expected to be introduced in a few months. We also heard reports earluer that Qualcomm has yet to announce anything related to the launch. With the Snapdragon Summit taking place in late October, the San Diego company could reveal a glimpse of the SoC as well as an expected release date.
