Qualcomm is back in the news this week with yet another chipset, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3. After introducing the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 a few days ago, the US-based company announced a mid-range chipset that, once again, promises a bunch of AI-oriented capabilities.
But the most important thing is that the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset features a 15 percent boost in CPU performance and a 45 percent GPU (graphics processing unit) improvement over the previous generation.
On top of that, this is the first Snapdragon series 7 chipset to support Wi-Fi 7 with HBS (High Band Simultaneous) Multi-Link for better connectivity. Also, just like the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 supports a wide range of AI models including LLMs (large language models) such as Baichuan-7B, Llama 2, and Gemini Nano.
It's also important to add that Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 brings new select Snapdragon Elite Gaming features to mid-range phones including Game Post Processing Accelerator and Adreno Frame Motion Engine 2, which should enhance game effects and upscale gaming content for crisp visuals.
