The Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset has emerged with two versions: the full octa-core and a new hepta-core variant, indicating differing performance strategies from Qualcomm.
This hepta-core variant features two Prime cores at 4.32 GHz and five Performance cores at 3.53 GHz, meaning it's tailored for cost-effective OEM options.
Qualcomm's strategy with binned parts suggests a way to optimize production costs, allowing OEMs to choose a slightly less powerful version of a leading chipset.
Consumer perception is key, as some may not notice the difference between the two models, while others could view the hepta-core as inferior.
