The next high-end chip for the Android world is getting closer and bringing with it a lot of power.
In October, Qualcomm will present us with the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and it will be the most powerful smartphone chipset you can find in an Android smartphone in the coming months. But unlike last year, availability for European customers will again vary greatly.
The new top chipset is slowly casting its big shadow in front
In the first benchmark shows Advancement of Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 In Geekbench 6, the new chipset today achieved a Vulkan score of over 15,000 points, while its predecessor was significantly lower at around 10,000 points. The deciding factor here is the significantly powerful Adreno 750 graphics unit, which Qualcomm is now installing.
It’s important for Qualcomm and Co. to have an answer for the iPhone 15 Pro. It, for example, brings hardware-accelerated “ray tracing” to take graphics to a new level. And yes, this was already the case with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, but with the new generation it’s increasingly becoming a standard and likely to be more in demand than ever with the new iPhone.
What Qualcomm would do without some best-selling smartphones is just silly. While Xiaomi is using the new chip in the 14 series, the Samsung Galaxy S24 and S24+ (in Europe) will revert to Exynos. This makes the whole story fragmented again and difficult for the user. After all, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is said to be equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 globally; However it is the best selling.

Qualcomm will present its new platform at the end of October 2023 and the Xiaomi 14 will likely be equipped with it in November.
