Qualcomm just unveiled their beastly new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip destined for 2023’s top Android flagships. As a longtime Snapdragon fanboy, their new flagship has me fired up.

This 4nm powerhouse packs an insane CPU configuration: 1 cutting-edge Cortex-X4 core, 4 performance X2 cores, and 3 efficiency A510 cores clocking up to 3.5GHz. Next-gen Adreno graphics push the visual limits.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

Early benchmarks show the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 demolishing even the 8 Gen 1 in both CPU and GPU tests. Qualcomm is promising up to 40% faster CPU and up to 50% faster GPU versus last year’s 8 Gen 1 model.

With elite AI, imaging, gaming, and connectivity features, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 looks primed to power the most advanced Androids yet.

Looks like Qualcomm is closing 2022 on a high with an undisputed Android performance king. Expect seeing the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in all the top flagship phones next year.
