Benchmark Performance: AnTuTu and Geekbench Scores
The Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 benchmark scores give an idea about what this chipset is capable of:
- AnTuTu: It scored around 736,206 on AnTuTu 10, representing a scaled performance in CPU, GPU, memory, and user experience.
- Geekbench: In Geekbench 6, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 attained scores of 1,178 for single-core and 3,146 for multi-core-also implying sound single-threaded and multi-threaded processing capabilities.
Architectural Overview
The Snpdragon 7s Gen 3 has a 4nm manufacturing process and its CPU has the following core configuration:
- There is one Cortex-A720 core (clocked at 2.5 GHz), three Cortex-A720 cores (clocked at Note 2.4 GHz), and four Cortex-A520 cores (clocked at 1.8 GHz), striking a caliber balance between performance and energy efficiency.
- As said, the integrated Adreno 810 GPU is clocked at 1,050 MHz and supports APIs such as OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.3, and OpenCL 2.0 FP to fulfill modern graphical needs.
Positioning Within the Snapdragon Series
The Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 performs a good deal better than the 7s Gen 3, energizing the AnTuTu scores by around 9% pretty much, thanks chiefly to its faster CPU clock speeds and components capable of doing much more with its GPU capability.
In terms of features between the two chips, the 7 Gen 3 enjoys higher display resolutions, higher refresh rates, and Qualcomm Quick Charge 5 technology, whereas the 7s comes down to Quick Charge 4+.
Market Adoption
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus 5G is among the devices powered with Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, which has a real-life AnTuTu score of 750,366. All in all, Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 is an impressive mid-range contender in efficiency and performance alike.
Though not quite capable to put up reasonable competition against Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, it presents a more budget-friendly option for those users who crave steady performance but are not willing to pay for a flagship. Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 is further exemplarily proof of Qualcomm's ingenious strategy in diluting various solutions across mobile segments.
