Qualcomm has quietly unveiled a new entry-level mid-range SoC, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 3. Essentially an overclocked Snapdragon 695 and Snapdragon 4 Gen 1, read on to learn more.

Samsung is reportedly stepping up its game in terms of mobile processors, with the upcoming Samsung Exynos 2400 SoC looking like a world-beater based on the leaks around it. In fact, it may even outperform the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s Apple A17 Pro SoC.

Previously, we reported that Qualcomm is expected to launch the new Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset early next year. However, the company surprised us today by announcing the new mid-range chipset, which will hopefully power many devices.

Fresh from announcing the flagship Dimensity 9300 chipset earlier this month, MediaTek is set to release another SoC, the Dimensity 8300. Expected to be an upper mid-range mobile processor, read on to find out more.

MediaTek has announced its latest mobile processor in China, the Dimensity 7200 Ultra. Built on TSMC’s 4nm process, the chipset is a slightly more powerful version of the Dimensity 7200.

Previously, we reported that Qualcomm is set to release the successor to its upper mid-range mobile chipset, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. True to the rumours, the SoC did release today, but with a slightly different name than expected, as it is called the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 1.

The arrival of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is just around the corner. Before that happens, we have some new information regarding the next-gen flagship chip, with a tipster claiming that it will bring "great improvements" in several aspects.

After the much teased Snapdragon naming scheme, Qualcomm has officially unveiled the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 premium 5G mobile platform.

This includes 5G, AI, mobile gaming, camera, WiFi and Bluetooth technologies. 

In a move that doesn't surprise anyone, TSMC and GlobalFoundries, two of the world's leading semiconductor foundries (they make chips) are looking to begin development on a 20nm chip for next generation ARM based mobile processors. The advantage of doing so includes:

• 30% faster clock speed
• 1.9 times better density
• 25% less power consumption
