- Qualcomm has reportedly decided against a dual-sourcing strategy for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.
- It was initially believed that both TSMC and Samsung would manufacture the mobile chipset.
- TSMC will apparently be the sole manufacturer of the processor.
Qualcomm just launched the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, expected to power a variety of high-end Android phones in 2024. The company also confirmed the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 details, and it seems like another significant leak has surfaced.
A rumor back in May 2023 pointed to Qualcomm adopting a dual-sourcing strategy for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, apparently tasking both TSMC and Samsung with producing the chip. Now, Taiwanese outlet Tech News reports that Qualcomm has decided against using Samsung, instead relying solely on TSMC to produce the next-generation smartphone chipset.
