There are still months to go, but it appears that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the next generation of the brand’s flagship SoC, step forward (at least with regard to its official introduction) considering what we experienced with its two predecessors. Recall that Qualcomm has traditionally presented its new flagship in December, just as it did with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in 2021, and that already last year it announced the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in mid-November, which is the time frame in which they thought we are that it will remain.technology for future announcements.

However, according to several rumors reflected by Gizchina, it seems that this year will see new progress compared to what was experienced in previous years, so Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will be introduced during the month of October. In doing so, it moves at least two weeks ahead of its predecessor’s announcement date and the current peak of the company’s offering. Rumors don’t mention, yes, what time of the month the announcement will take place.

According to these rumors, the main reason for this change has to do with something we talked about recently, Samsung’s decision to go with a customized version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for the Galaxy S23, after problems with the technology. with its own integrated when it comes to motoring its top of the range. This was a pretty smart move on Samsung’s part and this is a widely held opinion in the industry.

It doesn’t seem likely that Samsung will decide to “give up” at this point, it’s more than likely that its engineers continue to work on improving and optimizing the performance and operation of its Exynos chips, but it also seems logical that they’d rather play it safe, at least for now , so in a year there are already many voices confirming this the future Galaxy S24 will repeat itself, this time with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxyjointly designed by Qualcomm and Samsung.

And what does this have to do with the presentation preview? Well, according to these rumors, these weeks ahead of the next-gen launch would add time during which Qualcomm engineers can fully devote themselves to a special version of the SoC intended for the top of Samsung’s lineup. Recall that Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy runs at higher clock frequencies than the stock variant, which requires quite a bit of testing, and we can expect exactly the same to happen with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy. In addition, a period of two to six weeks can make a significant difference.
