The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is all the rage these days, and for all the right reasons. Its predecessor ended up being one of the best CPUs in the market and boasted significant improvements over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. So, it would be safe to hope for even better performance with the upcoming chipset, and based on the information we have just received, it seems like Qualcomm will be adding some decent upgrades to the latest chipset.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will bring a 1+5+2 core configuration with 10MB L3 cache and the same great efficiency as its predecessor
Based on the information from renowned tipster Ice Universe, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is going to offer a 1+5+2 configuration, which is different from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2's 1+2+2+3 configuration. This could mean that the new chipset could offer more performance cores and, on top of that, higher frequency. Sadly, we don't know what the frequency is of the CPUs, and we don't know the exact CPU cores in the chipset either.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8Gen3: CPU: 1+5+2 frequency is unknown, GPU: Adreno 750 performance has been greatly improved. L3 cache: 10MB
This generation will maintain the overall energy efficiency of 8Gen2 and will be a Excellent SoC— ICE UNIVERSE (@UniverseIce) May 16, 2023
The source also claims that the Adreno 750 GPU will have "greatly improved" performance, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will also offer a 10MB L3 cache instead of the 8MB L3 cache found on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Last but not least, it is also added that the new generation of the chipset will maintain the overall energy efficiency of the previous generation and will be an excellent SoC.
We do know that Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will be coming out later this year. As a matter of fact, OnePlus has already started testing a device based on this chipset, and we do know that the Galaxy S24 Ultra could feature this chipset in all regions, but very little is known about the official specifications. Qualcomm should unveil the latest chipset later this year, so we will get more information in the coming days.
The one thing that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will prove is that Samsung is going to need to work hard to dethrone it with the Exynos 2400. The current-gen Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and previous generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 are already excellent chipsets, and Samsung has massive shoes to fill.
We will keep you posted as we get to know more about Qualcomm's plans with the upcoming Snapdragon chipset and whatever becomes of the Exynos 2400 as we move closer to the official unveiling of both chipsets.
