Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 tipped to arrive with 50% more powerful GPU than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2's Adreno 740
While the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 still lags behind Apple's A16 Bionic in terms of CPU performance, Qualcomm finally managed to deliver GPU performance that edges out Apple's current best. The company doesn't seem ready to rest on its laurels either, with a new report now claiming the next-gen Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will continue on the path of class-leading GPU performance.
As revealed by Digital Chat Station, it appears Qualcomm will equip the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with a significantly more powerful GPU than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2's Adreno 740. Specifically, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3's GPU—presumably named the Adreno 750—is expected to offer 50% better performance than its predecessor. Considering the current gap between the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and A16 Bionic in the GPU department, it looks unlikely that the A17 Bionic will be able to retake its performance advantage.
Details of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 have slowly leaked in the past weeks, and current information leans towards it still being worse than the A17 Bionic in the CPU department, but with a more powerful GPU. The Qualcomm flagship chipset is expected to debut in late October or early November, and will likely be adopted first by OEMs like Motorola and Xiaomi.
