TSMC will now take the reins of the 3nm process node of Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. This critical decision follows the success of the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, which outperformed its Samsung-made counterpart. The stakes are high as Qualcomm prepares for its big launch: Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will feature Oryon processor cores.
