Introducing the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 Compute Platform

The Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 Compute Platform delivers an Always On, Always Connected mobile PC experience unlike any other. The latest premium compute platform from Snapdragon brings the best smartphone technology to ultra-thin, fanless laptops that are seriously powerful — and seriously power efficient, delivering up to multi-day battery life. Blazing fast 5G connectivity can deliver up to 10 Gbps peak throughput speeds with the Snapdragon X65 Modem-RF System, and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity — thanks to the Qualcomm FastConnect 6900 system — enables truly seamless cloud computing. With the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3, users can stay connected and productive virtually anytime, anywhere.

Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 is a 5nm Windows PC platform enabling CPU performance improvements of up to 85% and GPU performance improvements of up to 60% from the previous generation. This new premium compute platform from Snapdragon utilizes high-performance cores for more compute-intensive tasks combined with energy-efficient cores for less intensive tasks, delivering responsive performance and long-lasting battery life — up to 25 hours on a single charge. Superior performance per watt translates to more efficient and productive workdays — and more time to watch your favorite show or play your favorite video game. To that end, Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 can even run some games at full HD resolution and up to 120 FPS. It’s an entertainment powerhouse.

Advanced Snapdragon camera and audio technologies enable crisp, clear video conferencing in applications like Teams, Zoom, and more. Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 supports up to 4K HDR video and uses AI-accelerated algorithms to help suppress unwanted noise on video conferences and voice calls. Look your best at your next team meeting — and don’t worry if your neighbor starts mowing the lawn, or your dog is barking in the background. All of this is punctuated by advanced AI accelerated capabilities for new user experiences and enterprise-grade security features. The Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 is both smart and highly secure from the chip to the cloud.

The Snapdragon Tech Summit delivered other compute platform news. The Snapdragon 7c+ Gen 3 Compute Platform delivers a new level of performance in the entry-tier with faster CPU and GPU performance, AI acceleration, and blazing fast connectivity with 5G and Wi-Fi 6E so you can stay connected and productive from virtually anywhere.

I'm definitely buying the new Lenovo X13s, with it's Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3, 32GB of DDR4X-4266 RAM, 1TB of Gen 4 NVME storage (7000Mbs reads), the latest mmWave 5G modem rated at 4Gbps, though I'm expecting a little more than 3Gbps with my provider, Swisscom (Switzerland) and 29hrs hours of battery life. Though I expect a real world battery life that includes a full day of surfing, Office, programming, etc., to be between 18 to 22 hours.

No thunderbolt 4 or USB4 capability? :(

If there is a Tablet using this Chipset, and it running Windows 11, capable to run Visual Studio and Basic Game Engine like Unity3D, then connect it to Keyboard Case, pairing it with Mouse, it'll be Newton-Fruit killer, Tablet + Laptop-like + Powerfull Chipset.

Qualcomm should learn from apple m1.
Laptop use cases doesn't need on die modem, ai or tensor cores.
The transistors are better used for caches or regular GPU cores.
