Qualcomm has finally lifted the curtains off the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, and it brings a number of improvements over its predecessors. For starters, the processor is fabricated on TSMC's 4nm process and has a 1+3+4 CPU configuration. The Kryo CPU offers a prime core clocked at 2.63GHz, you also have 3x performance cores running at 2.4GHz, and there are four efficiency cores running at a modest 1.8GGHz.

Speaking of performance, Qualcomm has claimed that you will get a 15% improvement in CPU and a 50% performance improvement in the GPU compared to last year's chipset. There is also 20% power saving on the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, but these are based on tests that Qualcomm has conducted, so the real-life performance may vary.

Inside the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, you also find the Hexagon NPU. This will allow for 60% faster AI performance compared to the predecessor, and there is also the Adreno GPU with support for OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2.0 FP, and Vulkan 1.3 APIs.
