Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 665

Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 3

► remove from comparison Qualcomm SD 6s Gen 3

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 (SM6375) is an ARM-based SoC for smartphones and tablets in the upper mid-range segment. Launched in mid-2024, the chip offers two fast ARM Cortex-A78-based cores with up to 2.3 GHz and 6 ARM Cortex-A55-based power cores with up to 2 GHz.

The design of the chip and the technical data are similar to the older Snapdragon 695. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 is manufactured using the older 6 nm technology and has a higher maximum clock rate as well as some new features compared to the 695. As a result, the performance in our tests with the Motorola Moto G85 is also slightly higher than the older Snapdragon 695.

The integrated graphics card is the Adreno 619. The 5G modem called Snapdragon X51 achieves a maximum of 2.5 GBit / 0.8 GBit (download/upload) and supports mmWave. The FastConnect 6200 subsystem offers Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 5 (8x8 sounding, dual band, 2x2). All important satellite positioning systems such as GPS, QZSS, GLONASS, SBAS, Beidou and Galileo are supported.

The image signal processor for the cameras supports 3 cameras. Up to 108 megapixels are possible with the main camera and the recording of images in HEIC format is also possible.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 665

► remove from comparison Qualcomm SD 665

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 (SM6125) is a fast mid-range ARM-based SoC largely found on Android tablets and smartphones. It features 8 Kryo 260 cores (custom design, 64-Bit capable) that are divided in two clusters. A fast cluster of four cores with up to 2 GHz (Kryo 260 Gold - Cortex-A73 derivate) and a power saving efficiency cluster with up to 1.8 GHz (Kryo 260 Silver - Cortex A53 derivate). Both clusters can also be used together.

In addition to the 8 CPU cores, the SoC integrates a mid range Adreno 610 GPU with a LPDDR4 memory controller (dual-channel)  and supports Wi-Fi (802.11ac + MIMO, max. 867 Mbps), Bluetooth 5, and LTE (X12 LTE modem with up to 600 Mbps download and 150 Mbps upload).

Power Consumption

Thanks to the new 11 nm LPP process, the energy efficiency should be quite good.
