First laptop with Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 chip on the way

Qualcomm’s 5nm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 chipset for ultra-light notebook models has not yet found its place in the market, but it is about to hit the scene in the near future.

What does the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 offer?

The chipset, designed in the 5nm process, makes a significant performance leap with 4 Cortex-A1 and 4 Cortex-A78 cores. With its energy efficiency and connectivity technologies, it is the most powerful Qualcomm product in the laptop.

Test laptop revealed on Geekbench predicted to be Microsoft Surface . The laptop with the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 chipset is probably making its final preparations before it goes on sale.

Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 chipset seems to be ahead of many 25W Intel and AMD systems in multi-core scores. However, the single core scores are quite low.

Although Qualcomm has been in the laptop market for a long time, it was not as successful as on the Android side and could not handle the optimization side. As such, very few companies in the market preferred Qualcomm. Apple, on the other hand, has made great progress with the M1 in a very short time, and although there are problems on the software side, it continues to make big investments because it has its own ecosystem.
