Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 Gets Its First Benchmark Result On AnTuTu, Posting An Unbelievable 40.7 Percent Higher Score Than The Fastest Snapdragon 8 Elite In The Leaderboards
Qualcomm might stick with the same cluster for the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 as it has with its Snapdragon 8 Elite, but that does not mean the company does not intend to use faster in-house Oryon cores to boost performance. The first evidence of the upcoming SoC’s raw capabilities are demonstrated by the latest AnTuTu result, which a tipster claims is 40.7 percent faster than the fastest Android smartphone at this time for this particular benchmark. Let us take a closer look at these scores. In AnTuTu
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 To Share Same Cluster As Snapdragon 8 Elite, But Mass Produced On TSMC’s Newer 3nm ‘N3P’ Technology, Along With An Adreno 840 GPU Upgrade And More
Qualcomm will announce its second flagship SoC for smartphones that will feature its in-house Oryon cores, retaining the approach that it kept with the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Naturally, we should expect some notable changes from the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2, but one tipster reveals that when comparing the CPU cluster of both chipsets, that configuration will remain unchanged, and there will be other technological advantages of the upcoming release, such as the improved lithography, upgraded graphics processor and more. Here are more details on the latest rumor.

China’s SMIC Purportedly Busted Trying To Poach Engineers From TSMC’s Hometown
China's Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) is being investigated by Taiwan for poaching engineers and other talent from the island. SMIC is China's primary chip manufacturer and is at the center of the country's efforts to establish a domestic chip supply chain. However, US sanctions have stripped SMUC of its ability to procure advanced chip manufacturing machines capable of efficiently manufacturing chips below the 7-nanometer node. Previous reports have indicated that China, particularly Huawei, has stepped up efforts to recruit engineers and others from
Apple releases new RC for macOS 15.4 ahead of public launch
Earlier this week, Apple debuted the RC (release candidate) versions of its next big software updates. But as often happens, not all of those releases were quite ready for public launch. Today Apple has shipped an updated RC build for macOS Sequoia 15.4.
On Monday we got the release candidate for macOS 15.4. It was made available both for developers and public beta users.
Now, that original RC has been replaced by an updated version.
The first RC build of macOS 15
Apple chips will be made in US at faster pace, says TSMC
TSMC’s first US chip plant took significantly longer to build and begin production than was forecast, but the company says that future plants will proceed at a significantly faster pace. This will enable US-made chips for somewhat newer Apple devices.
But former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger is dismissive of the initiative, suggesting that it will be of little help in enabling the US to be a global player in the chip business …
Regular readers will be familiar with the story so far.

Qualcomm Also Rumored To Utilize The 2nm Process In 2026 To Keep Pace With Apple; Will Introduce Two Flagship Chipsets, With One Of Them Being The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 3
Apple will likely be TSMC’s first customer for the latter’s 2nm process, as it is reported to use the technology to mass produce the A20 said to be found in next year’s iPhone 18 series. With the Taiwanese semiconductor giant reportedly accepting orders for its next-generation node from April 1, we could see other companies besides Apple wanting to obtain a technological edge. According to one rumor, one of those firms will be Qualcomm, and it plans on leveraging the 2nm
