Qualcomm’s present naming scheme can typically be complicated, however the “s” typically denotes a “step-down” mannequin within the lineup, and that’s precisely what the brand new Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 is. Qualcomm quietly put up details about the brand new cellular platform on its web site with out a lot fanfare. We sort of perceive why because the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 isn’t a very intriguing chip.
It’s out there in a 4G (SM-6370) and a 5G (SM6375-AC) variant, and that mannequin quantity provides an enormous trace concerning the chipset’s origins. The SM6375 is the Snapdragon 695 – a chip from 2021 that was later rehashed in 2021 because the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 (SM4375). Identical to these two chips, the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 relies on a 6nm TSMC node. It has two CPU clusters: one with two Cortex A78 cores, clocked at as much as 2.3 GHz and one other one with six Cortex-A55 ones, working at as much as 2.0 GHz. So, Qualcomm has overclocked the CPU cores a bit in comparison with the older chips we talked about.
Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 specs
The Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 will get an Adreno 619 GPU and a FastConnect 6200 modem. It helps LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. Maybe one of many largest letdowns, nonetheless, is that the digicam ISP contained in the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 solely helps as much as 1080p@60fps video seize, which appears ridiculous in 2024. However we digress.
In distinction, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset from 2022 is a 4nm chip with two extra huge Cortex-A78 CPU cores, a extra highly effective Adreno 710 GPU, LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, a FastConnect 6700 modem and 4K@30fps video seize help. All of those technical options make it higher than the brand new Snapdragon 6s Gen 3.
Precise gadgets with the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 seem like proper across the nook, specifically the Motorola G85, if we take a look at current benchmark leaks.
