Qualcomm is set to unveil its upcoming chipset at the upcoming Snapdragon Summit on October 24. Just a few weeks before the event, details about the company’s next-gen flagship chipset – Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 have emerged online.
According to a post by the known tipster Digital Chat Station on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is around 40 per cent faster than its predecessor in the AnTuTu GPU test, scoring 8,40,000 points. However, CPU improvements seem to be modest, with the new chipset offering a 15 per cent performance bump with an AnTuTu score of 4,40,000.
The tipster hinted that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will be fabricated on TSMCs 4nm process and come with the Adreno 750 GPU running at 770MHz. As for the overall score, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 crossed the 2 million mark on AnTuTu. The post also noted that the benchmark was run on a prototype device with 16GB LPDDR5T RAM, which is 16 per cent faster than the current-gen LPDDR5X, so real-world scores might be a bit lower.
Last month, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy was spotted on Geekbench 6, achieving a multi-core score of 7,400. While benchmark scores might not be an accurate representation of how fast a chipset is because of factors like RAM and software optimizations, they give us a rough idea of what to expect.
To give you a quick recap, Qualcomm’s current-gen flagship chipset – Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 scored 1.6 million on AnTuTu, with 3,80,000 points in the CPU test and 6,00,000 in the GPU department.
