News & Reviews:   Qualcomm Snapdragon 898

The next-gen flagship chips from Qualcomm and MediaTek are expected to arrive later this year. Recently, we've also heard several rumours about respective offerings, Snapdragon 898 and Dimensity 2000. Now, a reputable Chinese tipster shared that the two chips might be very close in terms of performance, which hypes up the competition even more.

We think the rumours for the competition of 2022 flagship chips are already fierce enough even without them being in the market yet. According to the latest report, the upcoming MediaTek Dimensity 2000 will be 20% more power-efficient than Qualcomm's next-generation flagship chip, Snapdragon 898.

It's almost time for the next-gen flagship war with the chip makers preparing their 4nm offerings for the smartphone companies. According to a Chinese tipster from Weibo, the upcoming MediaTek Dimensity 2000 will be based on TSMC's 4nm process, which might give it a chance to rival other powerful contenders.

Some of you might be pretty excited about Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S22 series (we too!), as it will have the Exynos 2200 processor that brings AMD's graphics. Before release, reports also suggest that the Exynos 2200's graphics performance will surpass Apple's A14 Bionic. However, the latest report is here to disappoint by saying most of the Galaxy S22 will come with Snapdragon 898 instead.

The next-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon flagship chipset is expected to launch this December, with Xiaomi running to be the first to introduce smartphones with it. Although it'll be quite some time before we reach there, the first benchmark of the Snapdragon 895 or 898 has been unveiled.
