While the US-based chipmaker did not reveal details, it is speculated to be the successor to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 which might come with the moniker Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 or Snapdragon 8s Elite. As per reports, the purported SoC could use Arm's Cortex X4 cores with a peak clock speed of 3.21 GHz.
Qualcomm confirmed the launch of a new chipset in a post on the Chinese social media platform Weibo. As per the company, it will be a “flagship” new product. It is expected to arrive as the successor to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC which debuted on March 18. Past reports suggest that it may launch as Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 or Snapdragon 8s Elite, the latter being in line with the company's recent nomenclature.
While official details remain scarce, a tipster suggests that the purported SoC is fabricated using TSMC's 4nm node. Its architecture may comprise a prime Cortex X4 core clocked at 3.21 GHz, three Cortex A720 performance cores operating at 3.01 GHz, two Cortex A720 cores capped at 2.80 GHz, and two Cortex A720 cores clocked at 2.02 GHz.
As per the tipster, the purported Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 could use an Adreno 825 GPU for handling graphics intensive tasks, which is said to have the same generation cores as the Adreno 830 GPU used in the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, but with a reduced number.
The chip is said to have an 8MP L3 cache and a 6MB SLC. It may reach an AnTuTu score of over 2 million. For reference, the Snapdragon 8 Elite has an AnTuTu score of 2.75 million while the purported chip's predecessor, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, has a reported score of 1.49 million.
More details are expected to surface when the chip officially launches tomorrow.
During the RCB vs GT IPL 2025 match, Virat Kohli injured his finger while fielding. Despite the injury, Kohli continued playing but seemed uncomfortable. Mohammed Siraj led GT's attack, reducing RCB to 42/4 before a recovery led by Livingstone, Sharma, and David. Kohli’s injury could impact RCB’s struggling season. Fans await updates.Greenland's melting glaciers have exposed 1,620 kilometers of previously ice-covered coastline in the last 20 years. Arctic marine-terminating glaciers have significantly receded, according to satellite imagery from 2000 to 2020, exposing new land to the elements. This change illustrates the continued effects of global warming as the region's geography is altered by shrinking ice flows. The newly exposed areas now face environmental changes, such as possible ecosystem shifts, sediment displacement, and new opportunities for scientific exploration.Over the past two decades, glaciers melting in Greenland have revealed 1,620 kilometres of previously ice-covered coastline. Satellite imagery from 2000 to 2020 has shown a significant retreat in Arctic marine-terminating glaciers, exposing new land to the elements.
According to a study published in Nature Climate Change, researchers examined satellite images to map changes in the northern hemisphere's glacier coverage. The study found that 2,466 kilometres of coastline have been revealed in the Arctic over 20 years, with Greenland accounting for 66 percent of the total. Glacial retreat has been most pronounced at Zachariae Isstrom, where 81 kilometres of coastline have been exposed—twice as much as any other Arctic glacier.
The discovery of 35 islands larger than 0.5 square kilometers, 29 of which are in Greenland, and 13 of which are not shown on any maps, is another result of the retreat of ice. The study further suggests that these 35 islands might be in danger as multiple nations might claim it for its natural resources. Researchers also pointed out in the study that these islands may have significant scientific value. The report adds that the new landscapes might provide new insights into Arctic geology and marine ecosystems.
The discovery of 35 islands larger than 0.5 square kilometers, 29 of which are in Greenland, and 13 of which are not shown on any maps, is another result of the retreat of ice. These islands' unexplored status raises the possibility of future territorial claims by nations looking to access unexplored natural resources. Researchers point out that these emerging landscapes may have scientific value, providing new insights into Arctic geology and marine ecosystems.
Long-term environmental effects are yet unknown as Arctic ice continues to melt. Researchers caution that the loss of ice affects global climate patterns by causing sea levels to rise and ocean currents to shift. Local governments, communities, and environmental researchers face both opportunities and challenges as a result of the recently exposed coastline.
Leg-spinner Digvesh Rathi brought back the iconic ‘notebook celebration’ in IPL 2025 after dismissing Punjab opener Priyansh Arya. His mimicry of Virat Kohli’s famous gesture was a highlight during Lucknow Super Giants’ match, which Punjab Kings won by chasing down 171 runs in 16.2 overs. Punjab Kings will now face Rajasthan Royals at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh, on Saturday.
