Final week Qualcomm quietly launched the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 chipset, and we had our suspicions about it based mostly on the truth that it regarded surprisingly just like the Snapdragon 695 from 2021.
It seems we have been proper. Qualcomm confirmed to Android Authority that “the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 is an enhanced version of Snapdragon 695 delivering improved CPU, GPU, and AI performances”. Leaving the error within the last phrase from that assertion apart, which means, except for the bump in clock pace for the CPU which we have already talked about in our article concerning the launch, Qualcomm has additionally improved the GPU and AI stuff in methods it hasn’t chosen to element any additional.
That’s all high quality and dandy, however relaunching a three-year-old chipset below a unique title is a good way to confuse folks much more than the convoluted naming scheme has already made them.
Nonetheless, here is a tip that up to now appears to carry water: the “s” is the weakest, then comes then ‘regular’ quantity chip, then the “+” is the very best. We won’t say for positive how lengthy this psychological shortcut will preserve working, however for now you need to use it. And if you see a tool rocking the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3, simply bear in mind it is a Snapdragon 695 in disguise.
