On September 18, it was reported that Roland Quandt, an expert in foreign news, said on Twitter that Qualcomm Snapdragon 8180 (SCX8180), also known as Snapdragon 1000 (SDM1000), was code named "Poipu Beach, a scenic spot on Hawaii's lovely island". The chip has more than 8.5 billion transistors. The Snapdragon 835 released last year has 3 billion transistors, while the latest Apple A12 has 6.9 billion transistors. Kirin 980 has the same number of transistors as A12. The Snapdragon 1000 has more transistors than the latter two, which is a great step for Qualcomm.

In addition, Roland Quandt also said that the Snapdragon 8180 is 20x15mm in size and manufactured with a 7nm process. What's important is that the Snapdragon 8180 is not for mobile phones, but for laptop chips. Its target is the Intel Core M3/M5, i3U/i5U market, so you can't directly compare the Snapdragon 8180 with smart phone processors.

Previously, it was revealed that the Snapdragon 8180/1000 was manufactured by TSMC, and its thermal design power consumption was up to 15W. It was specially built for Microsoft's Windows on ARM system, and was equipped with a new Cortex A76 core. The performance of this architecture was improved by 35%, while the small core was Cortex A55. The new processor will be released at the end of the year as soon as possible, and will compete with Intel and AMD for market share. ASUS products will be launched for the first time.
