First Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 leak reveals layout and core configuration
The info comes from Kuba Wojciechowski, whose star rose not long ago on the tipster horizon, and so far his leaks have been pretty decent. Kuba posted a whole thread on Twitter, detailing some of the specs and core configuration of the next Qualcomm flagship chipset.
- 2x Arm codename Hayes (A5xx) “silver” cores
- 3x Arm codename Hunter (A7xx) “gold” cores
- 2x Arm codename Hunter (A7xx) “titanium” cores
- 1x Arm codename Hunter ELP (Xn) “gold+” core
Wojciechowski also elaborated on the fact that this configuration differs from the one used in the Gen 2 model (1+4+3), implying that there may be some changes to the onboard cash and clock rates—we could be looking at larger cash and slightly higher clock rates. Finally, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will apparently use the Adreno 750 GPU (bearing the codename Adreno Gen 7.9.0), with a maximum clock rate of 770 MHz. Kuba notes that this frequency could be changed depending on the specific demands from client companies and future revisions of the chip.
