Using New Arm Cores, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will have a quad-cluster CPU design

There will be one Cortex-X core with high performance, two Cortex-A5xx cores with efficiency, two Cortex-A7xx cores with performance, and three more Cortex-A7xx cores. Its Adreno GPU is expected to run at 750 MHz. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is still the subject of more available information. We previously heard about the general core configuration and clock rates of the flagship AP. Kuba Wojciechowski, a Twitter leaker, now adds intriguing additional details to the information. The leak validates the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3's 1+5+2 core split and goes into greater depth about each cluster. The AP could benefit from faster clocks, lower voltages, and more cache, claims Twitter leaker @Tech Reve. Hunter, a Cortex-X3 "gold+" core, is present as expected. The five "mid" Cortex-A7xx cores are divided into the "gold" and "titanium" clusters, which each include three and two cores. Two efficiency Cortex-A5xx "silver" cores with the codename Hayes are the last component. In essence, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has a 1+3+2+2 split, which is only slightly different from the 1+2+2+3 split of its predecessor.

It implies that there won't be any Cortex-A710 cores in the middle cluster, improving multi-core performance. The "Heyes" and "Hunter" cores are additional unreleased Arm products. This ought to assist the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in approaching, if not actually achieving, its exceptional Geekbench performance.

But, given that it is being produced on a little better TSMC node, there may not be much room for Qualcomm to change the frequency as the launch draws near.
