The subsequent huge factor from Qualcomm is shaping as much as be some stiff competitors for the likes of Apple's A-series iPhone chips, to not point out Google's Tensor silicon. A leak seems to have outed that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 could have an entire new configuration whereas additionally dropping help for 32-bit totally.
That data comes by way of Twitter and leaker Kuba Wojciechowski who shared that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will include a 2+3+2+1 next-gen ARM configuration.
Extra cores than an apple orchard
They go on to report that the chip, dubbed SM8650, is presently utilizing considered one of two codenames inside Qualcomm; Lenai or Pineapple. They are saying that the launch is anticipated to happen in late 2023, however we have heard earlier than that it's unlikely Qualcomm will go a full yr earlier than changing the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
In response to the leaker, the chip could have the next configuration, together with new Titanium cores which are regarded as of the ARM A7XX selection.

With that, they mentioned that they consider that it is potential the Titanium cores are merely configured with extra cache or are clocked greater than their Gold counterparts.
The identical leaker additionally notes that the brand new chip drops 32-bit help totally, though it is unlikely anybody will discover at this level — Android has been shifting away from 32-bit for a while now.
What that each one means for customers of the telephones that will likely be powered by these chips, we do not but know. However efficiency was sturdy with the chip that this one will substitute, so hopes are already excessive that we may get one thing fairly nice right here.
