Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 launch date confirmed

Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset in November last year. Wasting no time, Oppo was the first to announce a phone with the chip. However, Vivo was the first to launch Qualcomm’s high-performance octa-core SoC. Now Qualcomm has announced the date for its annual mobile SoC event: the Snapdragon Summit. Most likely, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 launch date will also be the same.

Qualcomm confirmed the announcement date for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which promises to make a significant leap in performance and power efficiency compared to its predecessor. The company will announce the new flagship SoC earlier than usual – October 24-26.

As usual, Qualcomm will be holding a Snapdragon Summit in Maui, Hawaii. However, this time it will be about a month earlier than last year. This time, the chip will have a new 1+5+2 architecture instead of the 1+2+2+3 used in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Gen 2 series.

The SoC is said to run on 1x Cortex-X4 prime core paired with 5x Cortex-A720 cores and 2x Cortex-A520 cores and an Adreno 750 GPU, promising a significant performance boost. The CPU pack will also update the L3 cache from 8 MB to 10 MB.

Digital Chat Station, a renowned Chinese tipster, claims that the Xiaomi 14 series will come first with Qualcomm’s new flagship chip in November. Similarly, vivo X100 series, iQOO 12 series, Redmi K70 series, OnePlus 12 and Realme GT5 will also come with the new chipset.
