The sixth annual Snapdragon Tech Summit by Qualcomm has been scheduled for October 24th to 26th, a month earlier than usual. Qualcomm is expected to announce the latest flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.
According to previous rumours, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset is expected to have a new "1+5+2" architecture, the one that ARM revealed last month, different from the "1+2+2+3" setup of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
This new architecture is expected to result in a more powerful performance core with a higher frequency using the TSMC 4nm process node.
It is reported that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip will contain 1 Cortex-X4 prime core, 5 performance cores and 2 power efficiency cores, as well as Adreno 750 GPU.
Leaker Ice Universe has stated that the Adreno 750 GPU will provide a significant improvement in performance when compared to the Adreno 740, and will have a 10MB L3 cache instead of the predecessor's 8MB L3 cache.
The Xiaomi 14 series is expected to be the first to use this chip when it releases in November, according to leaker Digital Chat Station. Additionally, the vivo X100 series, iQOO 12 series, Redmi K70 series, OnePlus 12, Realme GT5, and others might also come with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, later in 2023.
MediaTek could beat Qualcomm to the high-end chipset game Rumours are rife that the Dimensity 9300 is anticipated to be launched ahead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. We can expect it to arrive in late September or early October, which is again earlier than the expected November release.
MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300 is said to have a different configuration compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, featuring 4 x Corex X4+ and 4 x Cortex A720 cores, as well as an Immortalis-G720 GPU, and will be fabbed on the TSMC N4P process. The vivo X100 series is rumoured to be one of the first to use this new chip.
