Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset key specs leak: all the details

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC is the company’s latest and most powerful chipset. It has been used in some of the new high-end smartphones recently, such as the OnePlus 11 5G, iQoo 11 5G, and the much talked about Samsung Galaxy S23 series. According to recent leaks, the key specs of the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC have been revealed. The new chipset is expected to offer significant improvements over its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, in terms of processing power, graphics capabilities, and power efficiency.

According to a flee by RGcloudS (@RGcloudS), Qualcomm will release the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset with the same processor layout as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which has the 1+4+3 configuration. Now, according to a new report, the company is increasing the number of performance cores while sacrificing one efficiency core with a new 1+5+2 configuration.

Leaked Revegnus( @Tech_Reve) suggested that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset would have a single Cortex-X4 core running at 3.2 GHz. It will have five Cortex-A720 cores running at 3.0 GHz and two Cortex-A520 cores running at 2.0 GHz. That’s much more likely, as another leak predicted that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor will require all the performance cores it can get to hit 1,930/6,236 points in Geekbench’s single and multi-core tests.

UFS 4.1 memory, 7,500 MT/s LPDDR5 RAM, an Adreno 750 GPU and a Qualcomm X75 5G modem are among the other specifications of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. According to the leak, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will be built on the node. of TSMC’s N4P process, which implies that three generations of Qualcomm’s flagships will be locked onto what are effectively multiple variants of TSMC’s N5 node.

The large performance improvements mentioned above will likely require more than a minor node advancement. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is a 3nm chip that is expected to be produced on either Samsung or TSMC’s edge node, or Samsung’s and TSMC’s edge node.
