Developer and reliable source Kuba Wojciechowski today posted a series of tweets sharing information about Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 generation processors.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor model is “SM8650”, and the internal code name is “Lanai” or “Pineapple”. The processor uses a 2+3+2+1 architecture, and the specific clock frequency information is not yet clear. The core configuration is as follows: 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) The chipset does not support 32-bit Android apps and games due to the lack of relevant CPU cores, meaning all developers will have to update their apps to the 64-bit architecture.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is also equipped with an Adreno 750 GPU (Adreno Gen 7.9.0) clocked at 770MHz, but the clock frequency may be higher after it officially lands on the flagship model. Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 supports Android 14 and Linux Kernel 6.1, and is mass-produced using TSMC’s improved 4nm process or Samsung’s 3nm process.
