Mobile phone manufacturers have early access to this type of development to test them and be able to project future mobile phones with them, and who has spoken of the future Snapdragon 898 is a Lenovo executive.

As we have said, the new information about the future Snapdragon 898, whose only official name for now is the intern, SM8450, which would succeed the SM8350 of the Snapdragon 888 and 888+, comes from Lenovo. The Chinese manufacturer must be one of those that already has access to the future chip in order to incorporate it into its super-high-end terminals, and it is the one who anticipates a great leap in power at the graphic level.
Although Qualcomm has focused in recent seasons on raising the gross power and artificial intelligence level of its main chips, it seems that In the Snapdragon 898 we will see a particularly powerful GPU arrive. “The GPU of the next generation flagship will be updated to a great extent,” said this Lenovo executive through Weibo, the most popular social network in the country.
The graphics section of Qualcomm chips is not exactly the weakest, but quite the opposite, even more so since the arrival of Elite Gaming, the series of improvements focused on squeezing power for games. So that, the Snapdragon 898 is expected to make a leap in power in this regard. It would not be a bad move for Qualcomm, since AMD’s entry into RDNA2 mobiles thanks to Samsung will occur very soon.
