Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 vs Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is not just a binned or cut-down version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, it is a unique flagship processor in its own right. Curated from the key features of other series 8 processors, it is a premium mobile platform, but aimed just slightly lower than the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

Errata : The X4 core in the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is clocked at 3.0Ghz, not 3.19GHZ as I said in the video. Sorry for the mistake 🙁

The naming scheme is misleading. Consumers may think they are getting an actual Gen 3 or something better. They should have called it a "Snapdragon 8 Gen 2s".

It's an OVERCLOCKED SD 7TH series 3rd gen.
Based on it's architecture, similar to 7+ gen 3. Qualcomm is lying, telling people it's an 8th series SoC.

It is basically SD8G2 design but with the newer cores like X4 instead of X3, A720 instead of A710 and A715 and A520 instead of A520. Even the clock speeds are the same. Again 4nm like the Gen 2 so this chip must be using slightly lower power given that clock speeds are the same and the improvements in CPU performance as well as efficiency should be whatever ARM says their newer CPU core designs are.

Thanks for an informative video.

Can we have a comparison of SD 8 Gen 2, 8s Gen 3 and 8 Gen 3 once this is available, please?

[RyanUniverseZ]

Adreno 735 inside the 8sGen 3 is an overclocked version of the Adreno 730 inside the Snapdragon 8+Gen1 it is not a downgrade of the adreno 740 in the Snapdragon 8Gen2
Power efficiency is way lower and peak performance is nowhere near Adreno 740
Not to mention the peak GPU frequently is very explosive at 1100 Mhz the max power draw is insane

I was genuinely excited to see the next Poco F6 using this chip but considering your review I'm not interested at all now. I wonder how many people are going to make the mistake thinking this is actually an 8 gen 3? Thanks for the information

SnapDragon 8S plus gen 3 ultra overclocked premium special titanium limited Pro Max
Edition....

[cristianJoker]

this should be called 8+ gen 2 not 8s gen 3

[bradyeplaysIndieHorror]

Motorola 50 Ultra is using it. I dont think there will be a noticeable difference except in benchmarks and the most graphically intensive 3d games.

[andyH_England]

I wonder why this exists. Will no flagship OEM use it, as it is below the current SD8G3? It may be cheaper, and therefore, next year, when some OEMs usually use the SD8G3, this will replace that expensive chip, and the SD8G3 will be discontinued. I suppose time will tell...

[SharedAccount-yzzb]

This was supposed to be called 8+ Gen 2, company recently has some absurd and misleading names on their processors

[AlexHusTech]

*These + & S are getting confusing, hard to keep up!*

[pavankeshavl]

Please do a per per watt comparison and battery efficiency 8 g3, 8s g3, 7+ g3, 8 g2

[rajmangalpandey]

What is release 17 and 1 update that X4 is even further underclocked to 3.0 GHz, not 3.19 Ghz as shown in video

[harmandeepsingh]

So basically 8 Gen 3 is more powerful. I thought 8s gen 3 is a plus version. Btw thanks for info.

[nazrinasraf]

Miss when naming make simple. SD805, SD808, 845, 865, 888

[NeutronStar]

This SoC appears to be builtfor tablets, next year maybemore and better competition in tablet market.

[raaghavex-]

Maybe they can name it as 8-Gen3 and 8+Gen3 for these two chips

[Valdismith]

The Gen 2 has Adreno 740, so if this is between/ above Gen 2 and below Gen 3, why the hell it has an Adreno 735. Does the 5 at the end mean higher/newer gen than 0, so 735 is slightly better than 740? I wanted to replace my so beloved 2022 flagship Motorola Edge 30 Pro, because it was (still is) the perfect flagship, when I compare budget Galaxy S 22 Ultra competitors. It has the same SOC it runs a bit cooler ( as this is the reason I consider upgrading, Gen 1 is power hungry, but maybe all top dogs are) and it compromises in Camera, which is more than perfect for me and not IP68. This gave me a competitor that beat the S22 ultra in benchmarks with a lil bit and Moto had the 8 gen 1 running cold compared to competition. Now I wanted a 50 Pro, it came with SD 7 gen 3, perfect near flagship device for money, but I waited for edge 50 Ultra, si Iif I will upgrade from 8 gen 1/ 12RAM, it must be 8 gen 3/ 12 or 16 RAM 5x. Now I really wonder, as my battery has 700 cycles, I use it for notebook, do I replace the battery, or do I replace SD 8 gen 1 with SD 8S gen 3 and a little more RAM? What do you think people? I am trying to get a different budget competitor of S24 Ultra Xiaomi 14 Ultra or Honor magic 6 Pro, but the price is too high for me and is too close to the Galaxy? I might stick to a new battery:(
