Recently, Qualcomm revealed that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will be unveiled on October 24th at the Snapdragon Summit Conference.
News about this processor has been circulating widely in recent leaks. Just now, a source has continued to disclose intriguing information about the performance of the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Insights into Snapdragon 8 Gen 3Qualcomm hasn't had the opportunity to leverage TSMC's advanced 3nm process. Instead, they are utilizing the N4P process to mass-produce the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. In essence, the N4P process delivers an 11% performance boost compared to the N5 process and a 6% increase compared to the regular N4 process.
These improvements enable the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip to achieve over 30% better performance than the previous generation, if today's rumors are accurate. This is a rather impressive enhancement, promising to deliver a superior user experience.
Interestingly, some previous leaks suggested that Qualcomm is developing two versions of this SoC, with one of them featuring two Cortex-X4 cores instead of one. However, to conserve energy, the commercial version may use a single Cortex-X4 core, with the final configuration rumored to be “1 + 5 + 2”.
A recent Geekbench listing revealed that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 scored 1,930 in single-core and 6,236 in multi-core performance. Let's stay tuned for more updates!
