Introducing the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile platform
Snapdragon Summit 2023 will take place from October 22 to October 26 in Maui, Hawaii. The event is expected to see the launch of the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset alongside Qualcomm's custom-built PC chip, the Oryon CPU announced last year. This can bring performance and efficiency gains to 2024 Windows 11 Arm laptops.
If we go by previous leaks, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, codenamed "SM8650", is expected to feature a prime Cortex-X4 CPU core clocked at 3.7GHz, along with 5 performance and 2 efficiency cores. This can ensure significant performance improvements over its predecessor. It will be built on a new 1+5+2 CPU architecture, compared to the 1+4+3 setup of the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.
8 Gen 3 will also offer an improved graphics experience in combination with the Adreno 750 GPU. The chipset is expected to be based on TSMC's 4nm process with N4P Node for better efficiency.
