Qualcomm's Nuvia SoC rumours - Hamoa 1st Nuvia based SOC in 2024

Qualcomm’s next-gen Nuvia-based CPU claimed to have 12-cores and “extremely promising” performance

Is Qualcomm’s Nuvia acquisition going to be as powerful as they expect? One report says it’s “extremely promising.”

Looks like a 2024 release date. It will likely be on par with M3. dGPUs are also supported.

The leaker also says that early projections are:
"little performance preview (keep in mind that these are super early projections and subject to change): ST > M1, MT > M1 Max.

Hopefully it will live up to the hype. Will be certainly interesting if it does (though the more relevant point of comparison for them will be performance and price relative to Intel/AMD at the time as well as the state of Windows on ARM).

Well, duh. I sure hope so. Otherwise it would be extremely embarrassing for them.

P.S. I think it’s odd to boast about 12MB L2 cache per cluster when M2 already has 16MB L2 per cluster… but now I’m just being grumpy for no reason

Caches sound small.

Anyway, not much there to chew on.

And even stranger to have an 8Mb L3 – although, POWER10 has some kind of unique strategy that just builds the L3 out of L2 cross-linking, so maybe they have something of that sort in the works. Also, it looks like they are punting to dGPU, so a lot of SoC complexity is off the chip.

After missing a commitment to trounce Apple in 2022, it will also miss its 2023 promise, as Qualcomm is now promising its Apple Silicon-beating processors will ship in 2024.

it does not actually have to beat Mx, it just has to beat xLake

Sure. Then they should stop claiming it will beat Mx.
