The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will be the next high-end processor from the American Qualcomm, since the company is not expected to launch the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 in 2023. In fact, the next chip for Android devices could even arrive before the predecessor. .
Given a possible anticipation in the presentation of this component, it is natural that the rumors inherent to it arise before. This is precisely the case, and this time the focus is on the performance offered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 does not meet the competition in the market
According to data recently released by the filter Tech Reve, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will have a base frequency of 3.75 GHz. Compared to Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, there is a performance increase of 17%.
To this we can add the first comparative tests that supposedly refer to the next processor from Qualcomm. On the Geekbench platform, it managed to accumulate 1,930 points in single-core and 6,236 in multi-core. Values ​​that pulverize any competition, even Apple’s A16 Bionic.
Still, this is not a fair comparison due to the release timing of both components. When the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is introduced, Apple will have announced the A17 Bionic, which will be substantially more powerful than the A16 Bionic.
There are several factors that will contribute to this performance increase of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. First of all, you have to use TSMC’s N4P technology based on 4nm lithography.
Second, Qualcomm is expected to adopt a different core configuration than the one used in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. chipthe American must align their nuclei in the form 1 + 5 + 2.
That is, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will have a high-performance core, five medium-performance cores, and two low-power cores. Thus, this processor should offer a significant increase in performance and a 20% reduction in its power consumption.
