Snapdragon SoC brings AI to more smartphones
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC offers select features of the high-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for a wider range of premium Android smartphones. The less expensive 8s Gen 3 chip provides on-device generative AI and an always-sensing image signal processor (ISP).
The SoC’s AI engine supports multimodal AI models comprising up to 10 billion parameters, including large language models (LLMs) such as Baichuan-7B, Llama 2, Gemini Nano, and Zhipu ChatGLM. Its Spectra 18-bit triple cognitive ISP offers AI-powered features like photo expansion, which intelligently fills in content beyond a capture’s original aspect ratio.
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is slightly slower than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and it has one less performance core. The 8s variant employs an Arm Cortex-X4 prime core running at 3 GHz, along with four performance cores operating at 2.8 GHz and three efficiency cores clocked at 2 GHz.
Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 will be adopted by key smartphone OEMs, including Honor, iQOO, Realme, Redmi, and Xiaomi. The first devices powered by the 8s Gen 3 are expected as soon as this month.
