Qualcomm has announced the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset, marking a significant upgrade for midrange devices compared to last year’s Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2. This chipset boasts enhanced CPU and GPU performance over it’s predecessor. Supporting on-device generative AI models like the recently launched 8s Gen 3 chipset, it also enables features such as 200 MP image processing and the latest Wi-Fi 7 connectivity.
The newly unveiled chipset features an octa-core architecture built on a 4nm TSMC fabrication, akin to Qualcomm’s flagship 8 Gen 3 chipset, promising top-tier performance for mid-range devices. It comprises an octa-core CPU with one Cortex X4 core clocked at 2.8GHz, four Cortex A720 cores at 2.6GHz and three Cortex A520 refresh cores at 1.9GHz, delivering up to a 15 percent improvement in CPU performance over it’s predecessor.
While specifics about the GPU remain undisclosed, Qualcomm asserts a 45 percent boost in GPU performance compared to the previous Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2, ensuring smooth handling of graphics-intensive applications and games.
Additionally, the chipset introduces support for super-resolution in gaming, frame interpolation and 120Hz refresh rates for displays up to QHD+. On-device generative AI capabilities are also emphasized, catering to the increasing trend of OEMs integrating such features into smartphones. These include support for large language models (LLM), Gemini Nano, Large Vision Models (LVMs) and Llama 2. Furthermore, Qualcomm highlights on-device multi-language translation and transcription support for international media.
Enhancements in camera support are another highlight of the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset. It shares the triple image signal processor with Qualcomm’s 8s Gen 3 chipset, enabling seamless switching between three lenses. The chipset also facilitates support for a 200 MP single sensor, three 36 MP sensors and real-time semantic segmentation in both photos and videos.
However, it is worth noting that the chipset is limited to 4K video recording at 60 frames per second HDR, lacking support for 8K videos. Nevertheless, it does support Google’s Ultra HDR, 240 frames per second slow-motion FHD and multi-frame noise reduction.
In terms of connectivity, the chipset incorporates a Snapdragon X63 modem, delivering a maximum download speed of 4.2Gbps. Additionally, it features FastConnect 7800, Wi-Fi 7 with HB5 Multi-Link, and Bluetooth 5.4 support.
