Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Not So Elite Edition Announced

Qualcomm has announced Snapdragon 8 Elite once again. However, since they didn't change its name, feel free to call it anything and we will call it Not So Elite Edition because this variant comes with 7 cores instead of octa-cores.

Snapdragon 8 Elite
Codename: SM8750-AB
CPU:
2x Prime core @ 4.32GHz + 6x Performance core @ 3.53GHz

Snapdragon 8 Not So Elite
Codename: SM8750-3-AB
CPU:
2x Prime core @ 4.32GHz + 5x Performance core @ 3.53GHz

Snapdragon 8 Elite For Galaxy
Codename: SM8750-AC
CPU:
2x Prime core @ 4.47GHz + 6x Performance core @ 3.53GHz

This hepta-core Snapdragon 8 Elite is likely a binned version aka they're all made in the same way but those chips which have issues with one Performance core simply ship with it disabled and voila, we get this situation.

UEFI Secure Boot Vulnerability can bypass Secure Boot

CVE-2024-7344 resides in a UEFI application signed by Microsoft's "Microsoft Corporation UEFI CA 2011" third-party UEFI certificate.

Successful exploitation of the flaw can lead to the execution of untrusted code during system boot, thereby enabling attackers to deploy malicious UEFI bootkits on machines that have Secure Boot on, irrespective of the operating system installed.

Secure Boot is a firmware security standard that prevents malware from loading when a computer starts up by ensuring that the device boots using only software that is trusted by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The feature leverages digital signatures to validate the authenticity, source, and integrity of the code that is loaded.
