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.

    Anonymous, 02 Sep 2024Wasted opportunity Should have been dual A715 + hexa A5... moreWasted opportunity on what? This will smoke dual A715 any day and will be much cheaper, look at Dimensity 7200 and 7300 situation. D7300 even though it has 4 big cores you can find it under $200 while D7200 with just 2 x A715 is no where around that price point.

      Anonymous, 02 Sep 2024Just another refurbished snapdragon 695. Nothing to see he... moreAt least this got 4K recording I guess? Hope they will use the same node with 2400, not with the overheated 2200 and 8G1.

          FatShady, 02 Sep 2024they keep introducing them and yet, barely anyone is using ... moreRemember how 6 gen 1 was vaporware for more than 6 months from announcement?

            Rookie Man, 02 Sep 2024It just renaming to Snapdragon 7s gen 2 nothing new.It would be interesting if this SoC could be found in smartphones around 200-250€.

              The only thing that has changed is the name.

                Should have been dual A715 + hexa A510 or dual A720 + hexa A520

                        Ok Well Guys, I read all those commotion happening here. I'll answer your questions
                        1. Which Process -> TSMC L4PE is rumoured. Reason to make efficiency much better alongside 6 Gen 1 & 7s Gen 3
                        2. What's Same -> Same as 7s Gen 2 with underclocking efficiency cores or overclocked performance cores of 6 Gen 1
                        3. What's different -> 7s Gen 2 supports 144Hz while 6 Gen 3 limits it at 120Hz
                        4. What's New in it for phones -> Will Focused around INR 15000-25000/$150-$320 price range
                        5. Anything Special Happening -> Vivo V40e Indian Geekbench Listing shows 4th Variant of these family which is rumoured to be 6 Gen 2 or 6 Gen 1 Leading Version/Accelerated Edition with specs
                        4x 2.2GHz A78 & 4x 1.96GHz A55 Cores

                                Only thing can think of is improve coding

                                  Strelock, 02 Sep 2024*sighs*...... honestly the silver lining would have been qu... moreThere was not much point moving to an entirely new node for an A78 based mid-range processor. There was no high-end processor in Qualcomm portfolio which was based on A78 and used TSMC 4nm.

                                    Anonymous, 02 Sep 2024Why didn't qualcomm use 4lpp/+?Not sure, I could only speculate. They moved their high end (8 series) and upcoming top midrange stuff (7 series) out of Samsung fabs anyway. Not even the improved node was enough to keep them as a customer for their best processors, specially when TSMC's 4nm node has reached maturity and seems to be cheaper than it was a while ago.

                                      I dont get why dont they rebrand these SD 8 gen 1, 8+ gen 1 and 8 gen 2 to something 7 series and have this 7+ gen 2 be rebranded to 6 gen 3

                                      SD 4, 6 and 7 are basically staying still in performance for who knows how long with all the renaming of the chips while performance dont get better.

                                      7+ gen 2/3 are the most weird chips that are basically made for like 2 brands only that use them on only 2-3 phones
