Qualcomm’s latest mobile chipset, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, will receive a noticeable upgrade in frequency amplification. According to a new leak from Chinese sources, the chip will include a Cortex-X4 core running at 3.7GHz. In addition, changes will be made in the kernel architecture.
3.7GHz frequency boost for Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
Chinese sources believe that the new Qualcomm chipset will have a jaw-dropping performance upgrade. The new chip is thought to have a 1+5+2 architecture, with one “super-large” core, five “large” cores, and two “small” cores.
It is reported that the Cortex-X4 core will also run at a frequency of 3.74GHz. The most up-to-date chipset used today, Snadpragon 8 Gen 2, has Cortex-X3 architecture and operates at 3.2 GHz. This means that performance will be directly affected in daily use.
Another upgrade to be offered with SD 8 Gen 3 will be the Adreno 750 GPU with a frequency of 770 MHz. It should be noted that Adreno 740 GPUs are currently used with 4nm architecture.
Qualcomm will also continue to use TSMC’s chips on the production side. However, it has been reported that it will be upgraded to N4P instead of the N4 chip manufactured by TSMC.
Rumors have surfaced that the next-gen SD 8 Gen 3 will debut at a launch in late 2023. It is said that the new chip will also offer noticeable increases in camera and battery performance. The first phone to use Gen 3 may be the Galaxy S24 family.
