Update (10/21/2023) – DJ
Expected to be launched in the coming months and expected to be incorporated into the main advanced devices of 2024, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 platform promises to bring considerable evolution in performance and rival the Apple A17 Pro in energy efficiencyestimated to be 30% higher.
However, according to the most recent rumor to hit the market, there is a chance that Qualcomm will choose to make a generous cut in the clock speed of the onboard GPU, the Adreno 750, with a particular aim at delivering more battery power and also a thermally-efficient smartphone. more stable.

This rumor, which appeared on Weibo through the user “Feiwei” points to the limitation in Qualcomm’s original project at 770MHz, compared to the 903MHz seen in other rumors, that is, a downclock of approximately 15% if the numbers themselves are correct.
Despite the potential reduction, the expectation is that the change will not be mandatory, that is, each manufacturer will be able to choose to define how their chip will perform (which refers to Samsung’s work in overclocking the version embedded in Galaxy line devices). S and Z).
This rumor contradicts DCS. It says Adreno 750 becomes 770Mhz. I wonder what caused it if it was true. pic.twitter.com/5JjlpqkGr0

It is worth remembering that, according to recent benchmarks seen of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, they pointed to 80% higher performance when compared to the previous generation, which would therefore mean that even with this downclock, it should be much stronger than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 .
In any case, we still need to wait for more details regarding this to confirm whether Qualcomm will really follow this path and if so, what the impacts on performance will be.

Several rumors suggest that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will be manufactured using TSMC’s N4P process, while the A17 Pro has a more modern 3 nanometer one, which would give Apple’s chip a considerable advantage.
However, a new rumor suggests that the Qualcomm chip’s energy efficiency is 30% higher than Apple’s SoC, which currently powers the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Recently, benchmark tests revealed that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3’s jump will not be that big compared to its predecessor in GPU. According to AnTuTu, the most modern platform only saw a 15% increase. However, the GPU demonstrated an impressive improvement of 40%.
These numbers suggest that the A17 Pro might face a strong competitor. Now, tipster Revegnus claims that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will have 30% higher energy efficiency than the A17 Pro.
Update: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 boasts a 30% better power efficiency compared to the A17 Pro.
The performance gap in GB6 multi-core benchmark scores between Snapdragon and Apple Silicon is narrowing, and the Snapdragon 8 series GPU’s peak performance surpasses Apple’s. In 2022, there…

He does not mention the source of the information, but several tests last year showed the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 ahead of the A16 Bionic. This year, with the big leap in GPU when using the Adreno 750, the scenario might repeat itself. However, the details do not mention heavier tests, such as ray-tracing.
This year, Apple said that the A17 Pro has ray-tracing performance four times faster than the A16 Bionic, so it will be necessary to wait for the launch of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 to see how the two will clash.
