Another great video Gary! Its really interesting different manufacturers take different core layouts now that we are past the 1+3+4 era :)

I love the fact these proceseos are become crazy powerful. Feels like most phones will be more poweful that any basic laptops.

waiting for a comparison against the mediatek 9300 🔥🔥🔥

This chip looks like it's gonna be a beast for emulation.

Sounds like a battle between ex-Apple and current Apple engineers! Apple is rumoured to launch M3 in a week which might spice it up even more 🍎

It's wonderful to see the progress made with technology. Good video.

It will be interesting to see how these cores do in everyday Windows usage, and, to see if fully supported/adopted as viable in other operating systems/hypervisors...

Looks like batteries are also expected to be improved or some other chemical type battery is coming to al flagships.

Wow, LP-DDR5x up to 9600 MT/s ? That's quite impressive! Snarky jokes aside, I'll now go and see what does bluetooth 5.4 bring to the table. And if WiFi 7 is actually released yet. This Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 looks pretty interesting.

easily my favorite kind of videos, love all your past apple A series chip videos and now the snapdragons! Can you do a follow up video comparing all the new mobile chips? I remember you would explain how apple is about one or 2 years ahead of the competition but it looks like the tables are turning. Thanks!

❤️ Gary I miss the new phone tests

Can you say anything about the power efficiency of all these new SoC? I don't need raw power, I need efficiency and battery longevity

Gary I request you to do some kind of heavy performance tests for flagship processors. I am a big fan of speed test g.

Offline A.i on the phone is what I'm waiting for .. the capability is there

Thank you man

Where does this stack up with the Snapdragon G3X gen 2? The naming convention is a bit confusing.

Thank you Gary 🥰

I'm definitely planning on upgrading to s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 device, likely the Galaxy S24 Ultra!

Gary, I love your intellectual take on technology! I have subscribed, and I am delighted to see many past interesting topics that you have covered. Therefore, I have several older videos to look forward to. But, just a quick question, sir. Do you feel that 8 gigs of RAM is now outdated on Android, because it now needs 12?

Hey Gary! why not more Speedtest G??

No USB4 yet, odd that USB4 is only on the Elite X

Man now I don't know if i should wait longer for moving to the 8gen3 from my 888 or just go for the 8gen2.

Whats the width of the decoder...

25% faster GPU is unbelievable. I think they are using very optimistic numbers here.

hey Garry, can you explain, how do A17 pro achieve 3.78 GHz clock rate & Qualcomm still struggling to go beyond 3.4 GHz , If both are using arm architecture, is A17 pro based on same arm x4 Cortex as a prime core

👍🏼Class is in session👍🏼

The question now is should I get a smartphone with the Gen 3 or wait for Gen 4 because I heard a next generation is going to go three nanometer. We are already at 4 nanometers for a few generations with the gen 2 to gen 1 I believe

Another good insight. Insane the capabilities. I just had an old i7 get upset with some hevc, this wouldn't even break a sweat. What amazes me is they are winning on both performance and power saving. If I was starting out in IT, this would be the stuff that got me excited. Back then the 120MHz was a milestone! Now 200MHz is 'efficiency'!!

Hi Gary, Will India get snapdragon 8 gen 3 or Exynos variant for upcoming samsung s24 series. Can you please confirm?

how about the heat

it's worth it I have a phone with SD 865 and the Gen 3 is definitely worth the upgrade 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Looks like they figured out clock speeds and efficiency like dimensity did a while ago.

I will patiently wait for 7 plus gen 3

Hi gary, i have a question who will manufacture 8 gen 3 for galaxy. Is it gonna be TSMC or Samsung ??. Do u think we can expect overall upto 30 percent power efficiency for 8 gen 3 for Galaxy

They better optimize both Kernel and Android to make the best of these new configuration. Benchmarks are good yet real life experience is not so good. Shopping apps are extremely slow, browsing experience or entertainment apps are all bad. App opening and closing takes lot of time. Only gaming is smooth and facebook as they hog a lot of resources at once. I mean camera, call/message apps should open within seconds.

I remember the days when they relate the charging technology to the SOC 😂😂

Will be interesting to see benchmarks. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 gives single core performance about the same as the Apple A14, and multi-core similar to the A15. Will be interesting to see how the new Cortex-X4 does for single core. Multi-core should improve notably from the Gen 2 because of the 5x A720 vs 2x A715 + 2x A210 on the Gen 2, but at some cost to battery life but probably won’t catch up to the A16. The reduction to 2x A520 vs 3x A510 shouldn’t have any notable impact on performance or battery life. Overall, should be a pretty nice chip.

Im upgrading my phone next year from snapdragon 870, not sure what to get 8+ gen 3 or dimensity 9300+😅.

Two millions in antutu 😮😮😮

tempted to buy the Pixel 8 Pro for the AI features............. but after i see this, im wondering if its better to just wait awhile longer.

I am a bit skeptic in the efficiency with 5 performance cores going on at once. Will see down the line.

Nice information. No, I brought a S23U this year.

I can't wait to see how these perform!

My Xiaomi 11t start to have deadzone. Should I upgrade?

I would like to see a video that talks about what cores are used in what scenarios. For instance I figure the prime core is used for things like opening apps and the low power ones are for things like background toast notifications? But when to the middle ones come in? Just when multi-core is needed? and when does that happen in day to day use?

Why don't they 8 most powerful cores?

8gen2 is fine…just need better efficiency…so if 8gen 2 use 30% less juice and less heat is better than faster and more heat

Good morning :)

I'm in fact going to buy Xiaomi 14, so yes, I'm upgrading to a phone with this processor

After hearing the gains in have more faith in qualcomm. Im excited to see what SOC qualcomm might deliver for the quest 4. Will be wild to see in 6 or so year ls to see the tech in next gen VR

Sounds like a beast. 25% increase across the board, but I bet it will thermal throttle like crazy. San dragon 9 might be the one that refines everything.

Five cores at 3.0Ghz!!!??!!

I suspect as we move to more advanced manufacturing process nodes there will be less need for the Efficiency Cores since the performance Cores will be adequately efficient. Seriously speaking how much more performance do we really need? Google have proven with their Tensor SOCs that on a smartphone we don't need that much more. On Handheld screens less than 7 inches do we really need or benefit with 4K resolutions? 240Hz is more than enough on a smartphone, in my opinion? So when we get to 2nm maybe we have enough transistors to make 4K 240Hz gaming a reality and with all the AI help GPUs are getting we can have 1080 native up sampled to 4K using AI and native 120 frames per second amplified to 240 fps through AI frame generation. Many people are happy to play AAA games on the Steam Deck at 720p low details 40fps.

SIIICK.

Why doesnt Snapdragon market the no of Cores in Adreno GPU?

I want this on my phone , but there isn't a phone I want with this chip.

Ill never get past just how ridiculous it is that we have yet to see more than one armX core at a time in any Qualcomm chips, itd be the performance edge they need to break apple's lead.

No usb4 :(

I am very enthusiastically looking forward to the Samsung galaxy S24 Ultra...

Be nice to see a SBC with one of these, seems such a waste putting them in phones.

I love how he is emphasising what Apple should've done

waiting for 9300 arrival

I am waiting for Redmagic to use this chip in their gaming phones

Bad config... 2x cortex x4 3.5ghz 4x a720 2.75 ghz 4x a520 2ghz That would have been perfect :)

Funny how they change core arrangements every year and easy to predict they gonna score half of the Apple counterpart on Geekbench. Funnier still that Apple didn't urge to rush to an 8 core SOC cause still manage do destroy any other competitor in multicore score even with 2 cores missing 😂 The best results in efficiency achieved by Qualcomm is found in the old 778 that has 4+4 architecture. Now with a 1+5+2 I feel like my son would've done a better job 😂 What a shame Qualcomm

Qualcomm really stepping up!

On paper it looks like very power hungry chip.

Next apple launch be like "We are introducing usb 3.1 gen 1" which will be available only in their top tier pro Max devices 😂

Apple knows how to do it, they just want everyone to buy the pro max models.

Samsung or TSMC made chips? That's important.

I hope Qualcomm could release a competitive product against the Apple ARM processors

ARM core designs are out of date with poor performance. If QC wants to release a top product then it should design it's own cores.

Qualcomm should have went with 9 or maybe 10 A720 cores. Plus Qualcomm should look at dropping those 2 - A520 2.3 GHz effciency cores, and just use more of those A720 cores instead. They should have used 7 - 9 of those A720 cores, and just lower the clock rates for any number of the A720 after 4 cores.

all these are quite useless if not many software actually utilise the features

Why Google Tensor ? Why. It will share Exynos faith, i think.

I'm only going with team Google.

Good to see qualcomm making good processors that are efficient. Even if samsung gets a higher clocked version, their software is still horrible. My S23 ultra has touch issues and has started lagging. My older iphone 12 pro max is still fast and smooth after 3 years. This is why apple will always be ahead of samsung.
