After three generations of accumulation, on October 24, 2023, the third generation of the Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, Snapdragon 8 Gen3, was born. Its performance remains top-notch, and its energy efficiency performance and heat control outshine other modern Snapdragon chips—the best generation.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3’s core specifications:

In terms of process technology, Snapdragon 8 Gen3 still employs the relatively mature 4nm and hasn’t upgraded to 3nm like the Apple A17 Pro.

The 8-core Kryo CPU upgraded to a pure 64-bit architecture and adopted a 1+5+2 combination layout for the first time. Compared to the previous 1+4+3 layout, it features one more performance core.

The main core’s frequency (Prime super large core) is as high as 3.3GHz, the performance cores’ frequency (Performance large core) is up to 3.2GHz, and the energy efficiency cores’ frequency (Efficiency small core) is 2.3GHz.

Compared with Snapdragon 8 Gen2, the frequencies of the three cores have increased by 100MHz, 400MHz, and 300MHz, respectively. Officials claim a 30% performance improvement and a 20% reduction in power consumption.

The GPU continues to lead, with a 25% performance improvement from the previous generation, enhancing performance and energy efficiency by 25%.

Qualcomm, once again securing the top spot as the Android flagship, garnered overwhelming praise. Mobile phone manufacturers also reached unprecedented levels of enthusiasm for Snapdragon 8 Gen3.

The release pace of Snapdragon 8 Gen flagship phones of mainstream first-tier mobile phone manufacturers accelerated. Previously released after the Spring Festival the following year, this time, companies completed the layout before the end of 2023.

During the OEM testing stage, major brands understood and released the strength and potential of this chip in advance. For instance, Xiaomi 14, with global launch rights for Snapdragon 8 Gen3, teamed up with Qualcomm, implementing more than 60 hardware requirements through the “Performance Planning and Design” project before the product announcement.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3’s success is a win-win. Qualcomm established a forward-looking, in-depth, and differentiated joint innovation technology cooperation mechanism with many mobile phone brands from the planning stage.

The past blame on mobile phone manufacturers for chip heating or the difficulty in fully exerting chip performance on mobile terminals no longer exists.

Up to now, 19 Snapdragon 8 Gen3 models have been released and sold globally, showing increasing maturity in chip tuning among mobile phone manufacturers. Snapdragon 8 Gen3’s solid foundation gives manufacturers room for optimization, though differences persist in tuning orientation, polishing level, and temperature control strategies between mobile phone brands.

So, who truly masters training your dragon?

As the Year of the Dragon began in 2024, eight mainstream Snapdragon 8 Gen3 flagships hit the market: Honor Magic6 Pro, Xiaomi 14 Pro, OPPO Find X7 Ultra, OnePlus 12, Realme GT5 Pro, Redmi K70 Pro, iQOO 12 Pro, and Meizu 21. We conducted a comprehensive inspection, evaluating CPU, GPU, AI, frame rate stability, power consumption, energy efficiency ratio, and temperature control in high-load games. The test, conducted in an office environment with a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, aimed to provide valuable references for users considering new phone purchases.
