Snapdragon 8 Gen 3: A Closer Look at Qualcomm's Next-Gen Flagship Chipset
Qualcomm is set to launch its latest flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, later this year, and the tech world is buzzing with rumors about its potential performance. The chipset is rumored to feature a next-generation Cortex-X4 prime core with a peak clock speed of 3.7GHz, five performance cores, and two efficiency cores. These upgrades promise to bring significant performance improvements compared to its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, which was launched in November 2022.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 benchmark scores:
Recent benchmark scores of the rumored Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC have been shared on Weibo, a popular Chinese social media platform. According to the details shared in the screenshot, the chipset scored 2,563 and 7,256 points in Geekbench 6 single- and multi-core tests, respectively. Meanwhile, the AnTuTu score of 1,712,271 suggests that the new chipset will be much faster than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. However, as these benchmarks are not verified, it is best to take these claims with a pinch of salt.
Despite the lack of an official announcement from Qualcomm, rumors about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3's launch timeline are circulating. The Weibo post claims that there are "just over 200 days" to the launch of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which aligns with the launch of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in November. It is speculated that the new chipset could be unveiled by the company at its annual summit, which is expected to be held in Hawaii later this year.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is expected to bring major performance improvements and is likely to set a new standard for flagship smartphone chipsets. With Qualcomm's history of pushing the limits of mobile processing power, it will be exciting to see how the new chipset performs when it is finally released. We can only hope that the rumors about its impressive performance hold true.
