Qualcomm once again stands out for its ability to offer cutting-edge solutions in the mobile processor sector. The company, known for its constant search for superior performance, recently presented the new chip Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, set to change the smartphone user experience just as the big brother destined for the top of the range.
Official Snapdragon 7s Gen 3: features and performance
The Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip is a significant step forward from its predecessor, the 7s Gen 2 model. Qualcomm says the new product offers a average performance increase of 20%, a fact that cannot go unnoticed in an increasingly competitive and demanding market.
The power of this processor lies in its innovative architecture, based on a high-performance main core with a clock frequency of 2,5 GHz, flanked by three productive cores at 2,4 GHz and four energy-efficient cores at 1,8 GHz. This combination, known as the “1 + 3 + 4” scheme, promises to offer a optimal balance between power and energy efficiency, two fundamental aspects to guarantee a high-level user experience.
But the surprises don't end there. The new Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip is manufactured using the technology of TSMC's 4-nanometer process, a leading semiconductor company. This technological choice translates into a greater density of transistors, allowing for superior performance in a more compact and compact format less energivorous.
In addition to pure performance, Qualcomm's new chip offers a series of advanced features that promise to enrich the experience of using smartphones. The mobile platform includes a Hexagon NPU, a neural processing unit that supports local neural network models, paving the way for increasingly sophisticated artificial intelligence capabilities. Also, the chip integrates a 5G modem, ensuring ultra-fast and reliable connections, as well as modules WiFi 6E e Bluetooth 5.4 (LE) for uncompromising connectivity.
But that's not all. The new Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor also pays particular attention to the photographic sector, an increasingly central aspect when choosing a smartphone. The 12-bit ISP chip supports image sensors up to 200 megapixels and enables 4K video recording with HDR, giving users the ability to capture special moments in true professional quality. In addition, smartphones based on this processor will be able to boast Screen refresh rates up to 144 Hz, guaranteeing a fluid and immersive visual experience, both during navigation and gaming.
Qualcomm has also thought about the expandability and versatility of its new product. The chip supports up to 16 GB of RAM (LPDDR5 or LPDDR4X), giving users a wide range of options to meet their specific needs. Additionally, the announcement of support for UFS 3.1 drives and3.1 USB interface opens the way to new storage and connection possibilities, making smartphones based on this processor ready for the challenges of the future.
Brands such as Xiaomi, realme, Samsung and Sharp have already confirmed that their upcoming smartphones will be among the first to integrate this powerful processor. And indeed, we already know which Xiaomi will integrate this Snapdragon 7s Gen 3.
