  • Qualcomm is reportedly preparing to launch the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset.
  • A leaker claimed that the chip would have an Adreno 810 GPU, which leaves us with questions.

Qualcomm switched to a new naming convention several years ago, abandoning the Snapdragon 600, Snapdragon 700, and Snapdragon 800 series names in favor of Snapdragon 6, Snapdragon 7, and Snapdragon 8 branding instead. These names have gradually become confusing, too, and a new leak is leaving us more confused.

Serial tipster Yogesh Brar noted that Qualcomm was readying the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 for release. The leaker didn’t dish out CPU details short of confirming a prime core clocked at 2.5GHz, three medium cores clocked at 2.4GHz, and four little cores running at 1.8GHz.
