Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 five months back in November 2023, and so far only a few devices have launched with the chipset. Now OnePlus has joined and launched OnePlus Nord CE 4 with Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset. So today we compare Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 on popular tests like Geekbench, CPU Throttling test, AnTuTu and more.

The Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 has an octa-core Kryo CPU, and it is manufactured on TSMC's 4nm process node. It contains a single performance core (Cortex-A715) clocked up to 2.63GHz, the same 3x Cortex-A715 cores clocked at 2.4GHz and 4x efficiency cores (Cortex-A510) clocked at 1.8GHz. There is no Cortex-X series primary core on the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, which is somewhat disappointing. Geekbench resultsSnapdragon 7 Gen 3Single-core1,144Multi-core3,072
That said, CPU performance is respectable. We ran the Geekbench 6 CPU test on the OnePlus Nord CE 4 powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and it achieved 1144 in the single-core test and 3072 in the multi-core test.
