The chipset has the model number SN8735 and reliable tipster Digital Chat Station claims that it will have a 1+3+2+2 core setup, which means it will ditch the fancy 2+6 Oryon cores found in flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. In terms of graphics, the upcoming SoC might pack an Adreno 825 GPU belonging to the same generation as the Adreno 830 seen in Snapdragon 8 Elite.

Additionally, it will include three 3.01GHz Cortex-A720 cores and two 2.80GHz Cortex-A720 Performance cores to handle demanding tasks. For efficiency, it is anticipated to incorporate two 2.02GHz Cortex-A720 cores to ensure smooth operation.
