Qualcomm is about to release its latest flagship mobile platform, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. According to a leaked internal document seen by Mspoweruser, the new processor will bring power to the next generation of flagship smartphones to generate generative artificial intelligence capabilities.
According to internal documents, Qualcomm claims that Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is its first mobile platform designed for generative artificial intelligence and the most powerful and full-featured mobile platform on the market.
Additionally, Qualcomm says the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will “challenge consoles” and “high-end levels,” with ray tracing and global illumination capabilities powered by Unreal Engine 5.2, and the ability to upscale cutscenes to 8K.
Here are the full specs for Snapdragon 8 Gen 3:
The picture shows that Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 uses a “1 + 5 + 2” CPU cluster and uses a 4nm process. The CPU is 30% faster and consumes 20% less power, but the slide doesn’t reveal whether these improvements are compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or the previous version. As for the Adreno 750 GPU, the images show that it offers a 25% improvement in performance and efficiency over the previous generation.
The image also reveals that Qualcomm is focusing on smartphone gaming and has equipped the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with support for Unreal Engine 5, as well as the company’s Snapdragon Gaming Super-Resolution technology, which can upscale the picture to 8K. You can also experience smooth 240FPS on a 240Hz display with the help of Qualcomm’s Adreno Frame Motion Engine 2.0, although the slide doesn’t mention how many games can run at such a frame rate.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 offers on-device AI support with over 10 billion parameters, while the Hexagon NPU is 98% faster and 40% more efficient than the previous generation. And as expected, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 integrates Qualcomm’s next-generation 5G modem, supporting 10Gbps downlink speeds and 3.5Gbps uplink speeds. The chipset also supports Wi-Fi 7 and can reach speeds of 5.8Gbps.
The image above also shows the maximum memory support, camera, display and other details. Notable among them is the USB version, which is 3.1 Gen 2 and has a maximum bandwidth of 10Gbps, which means that it will be equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and support the above specifications. The Android flagship phone can connect to an external monitor for gaming just like the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Qualcomm 2023 Snapdragon Summit will be held on October 25-26, when Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will be officially unveiled.
