Built with TSMC’s 4nm process technology, the SD 7 Gen 3 employs a 1+3+4 CPU arrangement. This includes a main core running at 2.63 GHz, three performance cores at 2.4 GHz, and four efficiency cores at 1.8 GHz.

The Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 guarantees a 15% boost in CPU performance and a 50% rise in Adreno GPU speed compared to the previous model, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. Furthermore, Qualcomm’s assessments show a 20% increase in power efficiency.

The Qualcomm Hexagon NPU in the chipset provides 60% greater AI performance per watt compared to the SD 7 Gen 1. Additionally, the Adreno GPU in the 7 Gen 3 supports multiple APIs, including OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2.0 FP, and Vulkan 1.3.

Regarding display capabilities, the latest Qualcomm chipset supports up to 4K resolution at 60 Hz or FHD+ resolution at 168 Hz. It incorporates a Qualcomm Spectra ISP that can manage camera modules up to 200 MP and record 4K HDR video at 60 Hz. Paired with the Snapdragon X63 5G Modem-RF System, the SD 7 Gen 3 provides download speeds of up to 5 Gbps over mmWave and sub-6 GHz bands. Additionally, it is compatible with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.

The initial smartphones featuring the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 are anticipated to launch later this month, with Honor and Vivo being among the first manufacturers to integrate the new chipset.
