On August 17, foreign media Tech Ballad broke the news that the procurement cost of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which is expected to be released in October this year, will rise again, and the price will reach $200 (the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is $160 on the Internet).
That is to say, the SoC alone is close to 1500 yuan, and the pricing of the next generation of Android flagships is not optimistic.
Whether it is Qualcomm, Apple or MediaTek, with the advancement of advanced processes, the price of flagship chips is indeed rising year by year.
However, foreign media said that the high price is because the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 switched to TSMC N4P process, but the Dimensity 9200+ model of the same process has been pressed to 2599 yuan (K60 Supreme Edition will smile and not speak), this pot should not be backed by TSMC.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is a 3.3GHz X4 supercore + 3x3.15GHz 720 megacore + 2x2.96GHz A720 megacore + 2x2.27GHz A530 small core.
Its running score has come out at the end of July (the test machine is Samsung Galaxy S24+ ↑), with a single-core increase of 11% and a multi-core improvement of about 25%.
Compared with the Apple A17 running score released a few days ago (single-core up 30%, multi-core up 24%, up sci-fi). If the A17's running score is true, Android will have to find teeth all over the place next year, Gan!!!
Finally, insert the iPhone 15 Pro aluminum plate machine model of the ice universe. Saving is that the black border of the screen is narrower, and the border is slightly rounded.
