TL;DR
- A veteran leaker has claimed that an upcoming Snapdragon 7 sequence chip will get a significant improve.
- The leaker asserts that this chipset will undertake the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3’s “structure.”
- This means that some mid-range telephones will get a significant horsepower enhance later this 12 months.
The Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 processor represented an enormous efficiency enhance for mid-range telephones final 12 months, that includes the identical CPU cores as 2022’s Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1. Now, it appears like we should always count on one other huge enhance for the subsequent Snapdragon 7 Plus chipset.
Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station claimed that the subsequent Snapdragon 7 Plus processor (presumably the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3) might be a “big improve.” Extra particularly, the leaker asserts (through machine translation) that the chipset will undertake the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3’s structure.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is the newest and best Snapdragon processor, powering flagship telephones in 2024. This chipset sports activities an octa-core CPU setup, consisting of a Cortex-X4 huge core, 5 Cortex-A720 medium cores, and two Cortex-A520 little cores.
We’re due to this fact guessing that the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3 might undertake these identical CPU cores. Nonetheless, final 12 months’s Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 supplied a lot decrease CPU clock speeds and downgrades to the GPU, modem, and several other different areas in comparison with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 line. So it stands to cause that the upcoming chipset will see comparable downgrades.
Nonetheless, we hope the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3 sees wider adoption than its predecessor. The Gen 2 chipset was solely present in a trio of gadgets from Xiaomi and Realme, and none of those telephones have been out there within the US.
