Qualcomm announced the new processor Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, made with the TSMC a production process 4 nanometers. In particular, the chip will have one Prime core (up to 2.63 GHz), three Performance cores (2.4 GHz) and four Efficiency cores (1.8 GHz). Compared to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, Qualcomm guarantees a almost 15% improvement in performance and a leap forward of more than 50% when it comes to the GPU (Aztec Ruins 1080p). Even in terms of energy savings, we should see something more than in the past (in this area, the company ensures a 20% improvement).

Obviously plenty of space was granted to artificial intelligence, with performance in this field expected to improve by 60%. Qualcomm also highlighted progress in improving face detection based on artificial intelligence, especially in difficult conditions, such as low light. Still, also new to this generation of chips will be spatial audio with head tracking as well as multi-device Snapdragon Seamless experiences.
