Qualcomm might unveil the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 on October 24 at the company’s annual Snapdragon Summit. The new chipset is expected to bring significant performance improvements in the GPU department.
Qualcomm is set to unveil its upcoming chipset at the upcoming Snapdragon Summit on October 24. Just a few weeks before the event, details about the company’s next-gen flagship chipset – Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 have emerged online.
According to a post by the known tipster Digital Chat Station on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is around 40 per cent faster than its predecessor in the AnTuTu GPU test, scoring 8,40,000 points. However, CPU improvements seem to be modest, with the new chipset offering a 15 per cent performance bump with an AnTuTu score of 4,40,000.
The tipster hinted that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will be fabricated on TSMCs 4nm process and come with the Adreno 750 GPU running at 770MHz. As for the overall score, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 crossed the 2 million mark on AnTuTu. The post also noted that the benchmark was run on a prototype device with 16GB LPDDR5T RAM, which is 16 per cent faster than the current-gen LPDDR5X, so real-world scores might be a bit lower.
Last month, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy was spotted on Geekbench 6, achieving a multi-core score of 7,400. While benchmark scores might not be an accurate representation of how fast a chipset is because of factors like RAM and software optimizations, they give us a rough idea of what to expect.
To give you a quick recap, Qualcomm’s current-gen flagship chipset – Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 scored 1.6 million on AnTuTu, with 3,80,000 points in the CPU test and 6,00,000 in the GPU department.
According to a post by Kamila Wojciechowski on X (formerly Twitter), the upcoming mobile chipset has part code SM8650 and might feature 2 Core-A520 cores, 3 Cortex-A720 cores, 2 Cortex-A720 cores and a Cortex-X4 core that might have a peak clock speed of 3.7 GHz.
