Qualcomm‘s next flagship SoC called the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will be launching in October. However, leaks about its details have already started surfacing. We recently learned that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will be more costly than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. Now, the chipset has made an appearance on Geekbench.
A new smartphone with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset has been spotted on Geekbench. From the model number Nubia NX769J, it is clear that this is either a Nubia Z60 series or a Red Magic 9 series prototype device. The motherboard is codenamed Pineapple, and it has a 1+5+2 core cluster which was previously tipped by Ice Universe.
The base clock speed of the device is 2.27GHz, whereas the prime core can go up to 3.19GHz. With that out of the way, the device has scored 1596 points on the single-core test and 5977 points on the multi-core test of Geekbench 5.
Previously, the alleged Samsung Galaxy S24+ US variant also visited Geekbench with single-core and multi-core scores of 2223 and 6661 points. That being said, it was running an overclocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC with 3.30GHz maximum clock speed.
The new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip has certainly improved in both the single-core and multi-core aspects, however, the GPU on the SoC is also rumored to come with a significant performance bump. We’ll have to wait till some GPU benchmarks leak out to get an idea of the performance. Till then, stay tuned.
