Qualcomm, one of the most successful players in the industry, is making the final touches for its flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which will power the most powerful phones of the Android world.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will have 3nm and 4nm variants

The processors of the top models of the smartphone industry are manufactured in the 4nm production process. Currently, only iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max use 3nm processors. Qualcomm is about to take an important step on the Android side. According to the information, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will take the stage with 3nm and 4nm options.

Qualcomm’s flagship processor will be introduced at the event on October 24. The processor will be included in many smartphone models from the Vivo X100 series to the Xiaomi 14 series. Many performance tests of the processor have already emerged. The model promises high performance compared to its predecessor.

Many details about the processor have previously surfaced. According to this information, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will have one Cortex-X4 prime core clocked at 3.19 GHz, five Cortex-A720 performance cores clocked at 2.96 GHz and two Cortex-A520 efficiency cores clocked at 2.27 GHz.

The current Snadpragon 8 Gen 2 has a Cortex-X3 architecture and runs at 3.2 GHz. This means that performance in everyday use will be directly affected. The new processor is also expected to have a 1+5+2 architecture, with one “super large” core, five “large” cores and two “small” cores.
