According to the popular tech leaker @Tech Reve on Twitter, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will have a really fast GPU frequency of 900MHz, which is even higher than the 770MHz that people were guessing before. It also has a powerful CPU with a 3.4GHz Cortex-X4 large core.
The upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be made using TSMC’s N3E process which is their enhanced version of their existing 3nm process.
Kuba Wojciechowski mentioned that the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has the model name “SM8650” and is known as “Lanai” or “Pineapple” internally. This processor uses a 2+3+2+1 core architecture.
- 2 Arm “silver” cores codenamed “Hayes” (A5xx)
- 3 Arm “gold” cores codenamed “Hunter” (A7xx)
- 2 Arm “titanium” cores codenamed “Hunter” (A7xx)
- 1 Arm “gold+” core codenamed “Hunter ELP” (Xn)
According to Geekbench 5 benchmarks by Tech Reve, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset has a single-core performance score of 1800 points and a multi-core performance score of 6500 points.
On the other hand, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset scored 2070 points in single-core performance and 9100 points in multi-core performance in the same Geekbench 5 benchmark test.
Note that the multi-core score of Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 can even exceed that of M2, which is currently in the range of 8800 to 9000 points.
These are all rumours for now which have to be taken with a pinch of salt. But if the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 comes out to be like this then the next generation of Android flagships would see some major power and efficiency gains. Are you excited about this new tech development?
