Flagship Android phones may cost more due to rising chip prices | usagoldmines.com

Subsequent month, we’re wanting ahead to Qualcomm revealing the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and MediaTek launching its competitor, the Dimensity 9400. Qualcomm has beforehand hinted that its upcoming flagship chipset will carry a better price ticket than its predecessor, and up to date leaks have instructed an elevated worth level, too. Nonetheless, no particular determine was out there till now.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and Dimensity 9400 are set to be 20% pricier than their predecessors

A contemporary leak from often dependable tech tipster Digital Chat Station (translated supply) hints that Qualcomm and MediaTek’s upcoming flagship processors might include a heftier price ticket. Each the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and Dimensity 9400 are rumored to be about 20% pricier than their predecessors, due to the excessive value of TSMC’s 3nm manufacturing course of.Particularly, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 may run round $190, whereas the Dimensity chip is estimated at $155. Nonetheless, the leaker cautioned that these are tough estimates, as chipset costs can differ based mostly on components like exclusivity offers and manufacturing quantity.

This is not the primary time we have heard in regards to the rising value of next-gen chips. In June, industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted an even bigger jump, estimating a 25-30% improve.

Tipster Ice Universe additionally chimed in, pointing to a 20.68% rise for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Whether or not it is nearer to twenty% or 30%, one factor’s for certain – each flagship processors are seeing a worth bump this yr.

If producers are shelling out extra for these key elements, you may guess they’re going to cross that value on to customers. So, I’d not be shocked if flagship telephones, packing these two chipsets, get costlier this yr and into 2025.

The difficult half is determining precisely how a lot this may impression the ultimate worth of telephones. In spite of everything, they may most likely see a bump in value, nevertheless it will not be the total quantity of the chip’s worth improve.

Now, you could ponder whether the upper price ticket is justified? Properly, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is about to convey some important upgrades this yr. This new SoC shall be Qualcomm’s first to incorporate its personal Oryon cores, and early benchmarks indicate a pretty impressive performance boost.

Then again, MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 will function ARM’s strongest Cortex-X925 core. It recently achieved the highest AnTuTu benchmark score ever recorded for an Android phone.
