Now the most important details about Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 are known; The new chipset is faster and more efficient.
In a few days, Qualcomm will unveil its new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset for its next-generation flagship smartphones. Xiaomi will be able to present the new Xiaomi 14 smartphones as the first devices with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in a very short time. Now the most important key information about the new chip has been leaked.
The new Hexagon NPU will be 98 percent faster and 40 percent more efficient, Qualcomm writes. With the updated CPU with the new 1-5-2 configuration, we can expect 30 percent more performance and 20 percent more efficiency. GPU offers 25 percent more speed and efficiency.
The biggest immediately visible point is of course the change in CPU. Now there will be five performance cores up to 3.2 instead of 2.8 GHz. Now there are only two efficient cores, which is more than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2’s three cores at 2.3 GHz.
But the biggest jump in performance comes with the NPU, which is integrated for AI functions. This should come as no surprise given the industry’s current focus on AI. But it should also be interesting to see what the CPU transition means for everyday smartphone use.
