Qualcomm silently introduces Snapdragon 6 Gen 3

02 September 2024
The chipset is just like the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 but with underpowered efficiency cores.

And I never said LPP+ was worse, just that maybe they're on par finally, and I think they are given the improvements the Exynos 1480 had compared to the 1380.

    YUKI93, 02 Sep 2024At this point, I won't even be surprised to see Sony k... moreConsidering Sony is no longer doing a 6-month flagship refresh since the Xperia numerical series launched in 2019. Sony doesn't have a tradition of upgrading the chipset to its slightly better version of its original product (or in the case of 8 Gen 1 to 8+ Gen 1, a way better one, in the Mark IV series) and directly jumping into a new generation of the chipset (example, 8 Gen 1 in 1 IV, directly into 8 Gen 2 in 1 V). The last time Sony did it was in 2013, from Xperia Z's S4 Pro to Xperia Z1 Snapdragon 800, so it would be expected that 10 VII would keep 6G1 at this point.

            Samsung need to kill exynos right off only use SD and bring back 6.4 size compacts to lead again

              Snapdragon aren't doing anything for the budget and midrange. It's a disaster. No manufacturers seem to want to use their chips because they've seem to have become so expensive. It's destroyed the whole market.

              The budget and mid range aren't asking for much. Just a modest performance bump to stop all the stutters and so apps can load in a bit faster. We're not asking for 8 gen 2s to be put into budget phones.

                  Anonymous, 02 Sep 2024So buy a flagship and enjoy. Better value for long run.Indeed, it takes around 5 years for midrange chips to reach performance levels of the flagship chips from 5 years ago 😜 Many midrange chips like 7300 or 7200 Dimensity still bearly surpases cpu levels of performance of flagship Exynos chipsets like 9820 from 2019 galaxy S10 and falls short in GPU performance 😁 Dimensity 7350 is the one to rival 5 years old flagship chipset, and you know Exynos not Snapdragon 🤣

                      Anonymous, 02 Sep 2024You may not need a flagship. Poco F6 will do just fine. 🙂No thanks. Already bought Samsung S24 Plus. Running fine. Aside from slower charging everything is fine.

                            Qualcomm messed up the naming sequence just like Mediatek , Back in the days we had 400, 600 , 700 and top end 800 series Soc

                              potato4k, 02 Sep 2024They are all basically the same 6gen1. This is a sham. Qual... more-They are only soc maker who use Cortex X in midrange ( 8s gen 3, 7+ gen 3 and 7+ gen 2)
                              -they are only soc maker who use Cortex A720 in midrange
                              -they are only soc maker who use Cortex A78 in lowend

                              That sd 6 gen 1 for more than a year now is only soc with Quad A78 at lower price point, you can get phones as low as $170 with that soc.

                                ashrobb, 02 Sep 2024Oh hi, I imagined you would be here since you can't ta... moreMy evidence


                                1. From company themselves
                                Qualcomm themselves they said 8+ gen 1 is 10% more perfomace and 30% more efficienct than 8 gen 1. These soc are identical right? So it means Tsmc 4nm (n4p) has 10% perfomance advantage and 30% more efficient compare to Samsung 4nm (4lpx)

                                Tsmc themselves said 4nm (n4p) has 10% more power and 22% more efficient than Tsmc 5nm, and 5nm is 10% more efficient and 10% than Tsmc 6nm.

                                So let's do match
                                1 x 1.1 x 1.1 = 1.21
                                1 x 1.1 x 1.22 = 1.34

                                So Tsmc n4p is 21% more powerfull than Tsmc 6nm and 34% more efficient

                                Same Tsmc n4p is 10% more powerfull and 30% more efficient than Samsung 4lpx

                                So data from company themselves shows Samsung 4nm is slightly better or at worst have equal efficiency to Tsmc 6nm and may provide boost in perfomance at same clock speed (I will prove it later on.

                                2. From Geekerwan vcurve
                                I believe this I showed you more than 2 times now and from some reason you ignore it, Vcurve of 4 gen 2 is same as D900, D920, 4 gen 1 and slightly inferior to 695. This show no much difference from those manufacturing process

                                3. From benchmarks
                                If you look at benchmarks 4 gen 2 has better single core perfomance than D920 and 900, both use Cortex A78 while D900 and 920 have superior clock 2.4 and 2.5ghz but still they lost to 2.2ghz. This explain that 10% from 1st point.

                                That is Samsung 4lpx, 6 gen 3 use 2nd revision 4lpe, Exynos 1480 use 3rd revision 4lpp and E2400 use 4th revision 4lpp+, so definetely 6 gen 3 will be better than Tsmc 6nm.

                                Show to me your evidence, that Tsmc is better than even 4lpp+ like your previous claim.

                                  Tech Guy, 02 Sep 2024Ok Well Guys, I read all those commotion happening here. I&... moreIt's Samsung. 6gen1, 7sgen2, and this, they are all Samsung 4nm.

                                    They are all basically the same 6gen1. This is a sham. Qualcomm literally only pays attention to the 8 series now. They are neglecting everything else.
