Qualcomm Unveils Snapdragon 8s Gen 3: Focus on On-Device AI

Qualcomm officially revealed the existence of a new edition to its list as it announced the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 smartphone chipset, which consists of a few flagship features. 

Qualcomm is all set to expand its chipset area by debuting its forthcoming Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 as a dedicated smartphone chipset along with some flagship-level features, but the noticeable fact that below the 8 Gen 3. 

The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is based on a 4nm process along with a 1+4+3 core configuration. It includes the essential parts, which are mentioned below: 

• One prime ARM Cortex X4 clocked at 3.0 GHz 
• Four Performance Cores (2.8 GHz)
• Three efficient cores (2.0 GHz)

Jumping on the next, which is gaming, connectivity through the support of its X70 in place of the X75, audio.

Some of the smartphone brands will power their devices with the same chipset—the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3—in the future months, such as Honor, iQOO, Realme, Redmi, and Xiaomi.
