The highly anticipated Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset is generating considerable excitement and for good reason. Building upon the success of its predecessor, this latest offering from Qualcomm is expected to deliver significant performance upgrades without compromising on efficiency.
1+5+2 Core Configuration and Enhanced L3 Cache: Key Features of the New Snapdragon
According to insider information shared by renowned tipster Ice Universe, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will introduce a 1+5+2 core configuration, departing from the 1+2+2+3 setup of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. This suggests the possibility of more powerful performance cores and potentially higher frequencies, although specific details regarding CPU cores and frequencies remain undisclosed at this time.
Furthermore, Ice Universe reports that the Adreno 750 GPU in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will boast “greatly improved” performance, while the chipset will also feature a 10MB L3 cache compared to the 8MB L3 cache found in its predecessor. Notably, Qualcomm aims to maintain the overall energy efficiency that made the previous generation an exceptional SoC.
OnePlus and Galaxy S24 Ultra: Early Adopters of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
The release of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is scheduled for later this year, with OnePlus already conducting tests on a device utilizing this chipset. Additionally, rumors suggest that the Galaxy S24 Ultra may incorporate the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 across all regions. However, official specifications are currently scarce, as Qualcomm plans to unveil the new chipset in the coming months.
The arrival of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset will undoubtedly present a challenge for Samsung’s Exynos 2400 as it strives to surpass Qualcomm’s dominance. Both the current-gen Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and the previous Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 have established themselves as exceptional chipsets, setting high expectations for Samsung to meet. Additionally, the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 is rumored to rival the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with its inclusion of two Cortex-X4 prime cores, further intensifying competition in the market.
