A recent leak suggests that Nothing Phone (3) will be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, deviating from the expected Snapdragon 8 Elite. While not the most high-end processor, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 still offers flagship-grade performance with a unique set of features.
Key Features of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4:
- One Cortex-X4 core at 3.2GHz
- Three Cortex-A720 cores at 3GHz
- Two Cortex-A720 cores at 2.8GHz
- Two Cortex-A720 cores at 2GHz
While the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 may not match the performance of the Snapdragon 8 Elite, it still excels in multitasking capabilities and offers a new Adreno GPU architecture. Additionally, the chip's NPU is touted to be 44% faster than its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Although the Nothing Phone (3) may not have the most cutting-edge features, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is expected to provide a solid foundation for the phone's performance and efficiency.
