Why Qualcomm's flagship SoC was named Snapdragon 888 and not Snapdragon 875

The other day, Qualcomm announced its new top-end processor. All the rumors and leaks said that this would happen

Snapdragon 875, but the company decided differently and called the chip Snapdragon 888. There is a reason for this.

Why

During the announcement, the manufacturer stated that the number888 sounds more premium. It symbolizes good luck and prosperity in Chinese culture. The American company thus decided to pay tribute to its partners from China. By the way, during the presentation of the processor, 12 of the 14 named Qualcomm partners were Chinese companies.

Due to the US-China trade war, manySmartphone manufacturers from the Middle Kingdom are considering other SoC suppliers as a plan B. But such a gesture from Qualcomm, on the contrary, will help strengthen relations with companies.

Let us remind you that the Snapdragon 888 is built on a 5nm process technology. The chipset boasts a super-powerful Cortex-X1 core, an integrated Snapdragon X60 5G modem and an Adreno 660 video accelerator.
