Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 Leaked Benchmarks Reveal Disappointing Performance
There's a lot of interest surrounding Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 mobile chipset, but leaked benchmark scores suggest that it might not be the performance monster that some might have expected it to be. The Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 is expected to be Qualcomm's premium mid-range mobile processor for upper-mid-range smartphones. According to earlier leaks, it will include four ARM Cortex-A710 and four ARM Cortex-A510 cores alongside the Adreno 662 GPU. It will go up against MediaTek's highly powerful and efficient Dimensity 8000 and Dimensity 8100 processors, and is expected to power a slew of phones from several Android vendors this year.
Qualcomm, last year, announced plans to scrap its older naming convention for its mobile SoCs in favor of an entirely new naming scheme. As is evident from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, the new names include «a single-digit series and generation number,» and is expected to be standard for all its upcoming offerings. This suggests that the next-gen 7-series SoC will be named Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, although the company is yet to officially confirm it as such. While many potential buyers have been eagerly waiting for smartphones to start shipping with the new chip, today's news might be a little disappointing for most of them.
