TL;DR
- A veteran leaker has claimed that an upcoming Snapdragon 7 collection chip will get a significant improve.
- The leaker asserts that this chipset will undertake the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3’s “architecture.”
- This means that some mid-range phones will get a significant horsepower increase later this year.
The Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 processor represented an enormous efficiency increase for mid-range phones final year, that includes the identical CPU cores as 2022’s Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1. Now, it seems like we should always count on one other massive increase for the following Snapdragon 7 Plus chipset.
Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station claimed that the following Snapdragon 7 Plus processor (presumably the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3) will likely be a “huge upgrade.” More particularly, the leaker asserts (by way of machine translation) that the chipset will undertake the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3’s structure.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is the most recent and best Snapdragon processor, powering flagship phones in 2024. This chipset sports activities an octa-core CPU setup, consisting of a Cortex-X4 massive core, 5 Cortex-A720 medium cores, and two Cortex-A520 little cores.
We’re subsequently guessing that the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3 could undertake these similar CPU cores. However, final year’s Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 provided 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 purpose that the upcoming chipset will see related downgrades.
Nevertheless, 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 phones had been accessible within the US.
