Recently, Qualcomm introduced two new SoCs: the Snapdragon 7+ Gen3 and the Snapdragon 8s Gen3. The Snapdragon 7+ Gen3 is currently being prepped for devices like the OnePlus Ace3V and Realme GT Neo6 SE. We conducted real-world tests on the energy efficiency of the new mid-range Snapdragon 7+ Gen3, so let’s take a look~
The CPU architecture of the Snapdragon 7+ Gen3 is the same as that of the Snapdragon 8 Gen2, featuring a 1+4+3 configuration. The core codenames are identical to those of the Snapdragon 8 Gen3: 1 core at 2.8GHz Cortex-X4, 4 cores at 2.57GHz Cortex-A720, and 3 cores at 1.8GHz Cortex-A520. The GPU is the Adreno 732 running at 950MHz, built on TSMC’s 4nm process technology.
According to the Xiaobai Measurement Database 4.0, the OnePlus Ace3V equipped with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen3 achieved a peak performance score of 5172 in Geekbench 6, which is less than 10% lower than the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 and about 5% higher than the Dimensity 8300. In the commonly used low-frequency range of 2000-3000 points, its energy efficiency surpasses that of the Snapdragon 8 Gen2, while its mid-to-high frequency energy efficiency is lower than that of the latter.
In terms of GPU performance, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen3 was tested with GFXbench Aztec Ruins at 1440P off-screen, achieving 54 FPS, which is nearly identical to the Dimensity 8300 and Snapdragon 8+. The energy efficiency of the Snapdragon 7+ Gen3 is slightly better than that of the Snapdragon 8+ in the commonly used mid-frequency range of 2-5W, being about 5% weaker than the Dimensity 8300 in the low-frequency and high-frequency ranges.
In the Manhattan 1080P off-screen test, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen3 peaked at 196 FPS with a power consumption of 8.3W, which is about 5% lower in performance compared to the Dimensity 8300.
You can also directly view the relevant curves of various SoCs in the WeChat Mini Program š Xiaobai Measurement Database (Homepage – SoC Curve).
PS. The relevant curves are fitted from test points, showing the overall energy efficiency trend of the chip; there are differences in the physical characteristics of SoCs, and the test results are for reference only. What do you think of the performance of the Snapdragon 7+ Gen3 SoC?
