Qualcomm said to launch snapdragon chipsets based on 2nm node next year along

Qualcomm is rumoured to debut the successor to its flagship snapdragon 8 elite chipset this year. The successor to this purported chip, dubbed snapdragon 8 Elite 3, even could be fabricated on a 2nm process, according to claims by a tipster. The improved lithography is said to be implemented not only for qualcomm’s flagship 2026 Soc but for another variant too, which may be introduced as a less power Snapdragon 8 Elite Third Generation Chip. Meanwhile, apple is also tipped to debut its a20 chipset based on a 2nm node next year.

Qualcomm’s 2nm Chips in 2026

This information comes from Digital Chat Station (Translated from Chinese). In a post on the chinese social media platform weibo, the tipster shared details about Qualcomm’s 2026 Chipsets. The US-Based Chipmaker is said to launch two socs next year based on a 2nm node-SM8950 and SM8945.

The former is tipped to be the successor to the snapdragon 8 elite 2 and may be introduced as a flagship processor for Premium Smartphones. Meanwhile, The Latter Could Debut as a Less Powerful ITERATERAN OF THE PURPORTED SNAPDRAGON 8 Elite 3. Although it is also expected to be fabricated on a 2nm process, IT MAY COME SAME SAME SAME SAME SAME SAME SAME SAME SAME SAME SOBRICATED THE CORES or a Less Powerful GPU Altogetra.

To lower production costs, Qualcomm is reported to adopt a dual-sourcing strategy. It may depend on bot tsmc and samsung foundry for the fabrication of its 2026 flagship smartphone chipset.

According to a wccftech ReportApple is also gearing up to introduce a 2nm chipset next year dubbed the a20 pro. It is expected to power the iPhone 18 models and the cupertino-based technology giant count be tsmc’s first vendor for its 2nm node. Called TSMC N2, it is said to offer a nanosheet transistor structure which delivers full-node performance while Maintening Power Benefits.
