How powerful will the new flagship smartphones be? The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 platform is credited with a frequency of up to 3.72 GHz

The maximum frequencies of single-chip systems for smartphones have not changed for many years. But the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC could be very different from anything that came before. According to MyDrivers, Qualcomm’s new platform’s super-core frequency could reach an impressive 3.72 GHz!

For comparison, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is 3.2 GHz, while the version for Galaxy has a frequency increased to 3.36 GHz. That is, there will be an increase of 16% relative to the regular version. And in general, this is a very high value for mobile SoCs based on the Arm architecture.

According to leaks, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will have a configuration of 1 + 5 + 2, that is, there will be only two energy-efficient cores. This should greatly improve performance even without taking into account frequencies, but how voracious such a platform will be is an open question.

The network already has the result of the new SoC in Geekbench, where the platform scores 1930 and 6236 points in single-threaded and multi-threaded modes, respectively, but this is so much that for now it is worth treating this result with caution.

Introduced a very unusual keyboard in the style of classic

Fineday is currently raising funds on Kickstarter to launch a keyboard that can be connected wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.0 to a Windows or Mac computer, as well as an iOS or Android tablet or smartphone. Mobile devices can be fixed like a sheet of paper right on the keyboard, which is made in the style of classic typewriters.

The keyboard can also be wired. If it works via Bluetooth, the device will need two AA batteries as a power source – nothing is said about the battery life.

Both the Fineday case and the surfaces of all its keys are made from 6063 anodized aircraft grade aluminum. The characters are engraved on the keys so they shouldn’t wear off as quickly as on a regular keyboard. Each key hides a Cherry MX Blue switch and is LED backlit.

Along with these keys, Fineday also has left and right knobs. The left knob adjusts the brightness of the backlight, while the right knob adjusts the volume of the paired device.

Early buyers can purchase the devices for $655 and end up with a price of $1,100.

Arm is talking about a 15% performance boost, which is a lot for a single generation. In addition, Cortex-X4 is the most efficient Arm super-core ever.

Interestingly, in the press release dedicated to Cortex-X4, most of the text concerns not quite the newest core. Arm also unveiled its most powerful CPU cluster ever. In this case, we mean the possibility of combining Cortex-X4 with the new Cortex-A720 and A520 cores.

The basis of the cluster is the new block DynamIQ DSU-120, which allows you to cluster 14 processor cores. Of course, this is not required for smartphones, but it is a good start for platforms aimed at PC. As an example, Arm gives a cluster of 10 Cortex-X4 cores and four Cortex-A720. The block also supports L3 cache up to 32 MB and new intelligent power saving modes.

Separately, Arm mentioned a cluster with a core formula of 1 + 5 + 2. It is this configuration that is attributed to the SoC Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

According to the international standard IEEE Std1789-2015, when the screen flicker frequency exceeds 3125Hz, stroboscopic flicker does not pose a danger to human eyes. The current PWM frequencies of 2160 Hz, 1920 Hz and 1440 Hz, which are widely used in flagships, are still noticeable.

The Honor 90 series screen has a contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1, supports 1.07 billion colors and 10-bit color depth. The Honor 90 Pro uses a 6.78-inch screen.
