Head-to-Head: Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 vs. Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

The mobile world is abuzz with the arrival of two powerful processors: the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. But how do they stack up against each other?


CPU Performance

Both SoCs utilize the latest Arm cores, offering similar performance for everyday tasks and multitasking.


The 8 Gen 3 might have a slight edge in clock speed (rumored 3.3 GHz vs. 3.0 GHz for 8s Gen 3).


Graphics Power

This is where the 8 Gen 3 takes the lead. It's expected to have the Adreno 750 GPU, ideal for demanding games and high-resolution visuals.


The 8s Gen 3 might come with the Adreno 735 GPU, still capable but likely falling short in raw graphical power.


Other Considerations


The 8 Gen 3 might boast an advantage in memory bandwidth and cache sizes, potentially leading to smoother app loading and multitasking.


Both SoCs are built on the same 4nm process, suggesting similar power efficiency.



Who Wins?

Power Users & Gamers: The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 reigns supreme with its superior graphics processing and potential for peak performance.


Value Seekers: The 8s Gen 3 offers a strong processor at a potentially lower price point, ideal for users who prioritize good performance without needing the absolute best.
