Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Specs and Benchmark Scores Leak, Could Feature in Next iQOO and Vivo Devices

/in /tarafından

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset has been tipped as the next addition to the Snapdragon 8 series, following the recent launch of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Early leaks suggest that the new chip will retain the same CPU and GPU architecture as the Elite variant, while being fabricated using TSMC’s advanced N3p process. Although Qualcomm has not officially confirmed the launch timeline, the chipset is expected to power upcoming devices from Vivo, iQOO, and Motorola.

According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 will sport an octa-core CPU featuring Qualcomm’s Oryon cores. The configuration reportedly includes two high-performance cores clocked at 3.8GHz and six efficiency cores running at 3.32GHz. The combination is expected to deliver a strong balance of performance and power efficiency for flagship-tier smartphones.

On the graphics side, the chip is said to integrate an Adreno 840 GPU, promising enhanced gaming performance and smoother visuals for demanding apps. This aligns with the trend of including top-tier GPUs in Qualcomm’s latest flagship SoCs to compete in the high-performance smartphone segment.

While official benchmark scores are yet to surface, leaks indicate that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 could offer comparable performance to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, making it a potential powerhouse for upcoming devices. Users can expect the chipset to support advanced AI processing, camera enhancements, and high-refresh-rate displays in the next generation of smartphones.

Chinese consumers file antitrust complaint accusing Apple of monopolizing app market

/in /tarafından

A group of 55 Chinese iPhone and iPad users has filed an antitrust complaint with China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) against Apple (AAPL.O), alleging the company is abusing its market dominance through restrictive App Store practices and excessive commissions.

The complaint, led by lawyer Wang Qiongfei, accuses Apple of monopolizing iOS app distribution in China by forcing developers and consumers to use its proprietary In-App Purchase (IAP) system and charging up to 30% commissions on digital transactions.

The filing claims Apple’s restrictions on alternative app stores and payment systems violate China’s Anti-Monopoly Law, especially as the company has allowed more flexibility in the United States and European Union following regulatory pressure.

Apple did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

This is Wang’s second legal challenge against the tech giant. A previous lawsuit filed in 2021 was dismissed by a Shanghai court last year. The lawyer has appealed that ruling to the Supreme People’s Court, which heard arguments in December but has yet to issue a decision.

Wang said he expects the new administrative complaint to move more swiftly through regulators than the prior civil case.

The filing comes amid rising U.S.–China trade and tech tensions, with Beijing increasing scrutiny of American companies. Earlier this year, China launched antitrust probes into other U.S. tech firms, including Qualcomm, over its acquisition of Israeli company Autotalks.
