As previously reported, this year's Snapdragon Summit introduced two new premium flagship-class mobile chipsets. The first one is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, but how does the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 differ? According to Qualcomm, not as much as you'd think.

According to Tom's Guide, Qualcomm has confirmed that 6G technology is now in active development, and pre-commercial devices based on this new generation network can be expected as early as 2028. So, what should you know about it?

In addition to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 news, Qualcomm has also expanded its PC processor portfolio with two new entries: the Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme and Snapdragon X2 Elite. These chips are engineered for the future of Windows on ARM, aiming to deliver class-leading performance, energy efficiency, and connectivity for ultrathin laptops and always-on devices.

Qualcomm has officially introduced its latest flagship mobile chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, touting it as the world’s fastest mobile System-on-Chip (SoC). With breakthroughs in performance, AI, graphics, and efficiency, Qualcomm positions this new chip as a leap forward in delivering next-generation mobile experiences.

The Snapdragon Summit later this month could be more packed than previous years. Previously, it was reported that Qualcomm would launch two flagship chipsets this year. But that's not all, as the company could also unveil an overclocked variant for one of the new chipsets.

Qualcomm's latest chipset for mobile devices was announced earlier today, offering smartphone manufacturers a new option for the mid-range category. The Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 is a direct successor to last year's Snapdragon 7s Gen 3. Let's take a look at what's new or upgraded.

When it comes to mobile devices, many consider Qualcomm the superior manufacturer. However, MediaTek seems to believe its next flagship mobile chipset can beat Qualcomm's upcoming flagship. MediaTek even plans to launch the Dimensity 9500 ahead of its competitor.

Qualcomm is set to unveil its next-gen flagship mobile processor, the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, during the Snapdragon Summit in late September 2025. Well, the company is touted to debut another high-end chipset just below the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 during the event, so read on to find out more.

Qualcomm has officially shared its early vision for Wi‑Fi 8, also known as IEEE 802.11bn, focusing less on headline speeds and more on Ultra-High Reliability (UHR).

Qualcomm is apparently set to unveil its second-generation laptop processor series soon, which will likely be called the Qualcomm Snapdragon X2, and one of those processors, the Snapdragon X2 Elite, is reportedly currently in the testing process. So, what should you know about it?
