Computex 2025: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 set to arrive in September

At Computex 2025, Qualcomm revealed its plan for a big reveal slated for the Snapdragon Summit 2025, taking place from September 23 to 25 in Hawaii. On the agenda is the much-anticipated Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, coming up as the follow-up to last year’s flagship chip.

Qualcomm teamed up with TSMC’s advanced N3P node to crank out the new silicon—an upgrade expected to bring smarter power use and better performance across the board. On the graphics side, it will likely introduce the Adreno 840 GPU, expected to deliver at least a 30% bump in performance over its predecessor. 

Under the hood, the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 will also reportedly feature a CPU layout—six high-performance cores paired with two efficiency cores, with enhanced Pegasus cores possibly revving up to 5GHz. Another major feature could be support for LPDDR6 RAM, promising faster data flow and smoother responsiveness.

Flagship phones from the likes of Xiaomi, OnePlus, iQOO, and HONOR are expected to be among the first out of the gate with the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 under the hood. Expect the first wave of devices to start dropping as early as late September or early October, just in time to ride the post-summer upgrade wave!
