After releasing Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, Qualcomm also brought its first 5nm flagship processor for Windows laptops namely Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3. Interestingly, Qualcomm says that this chip can be used in fanless laptop designs. The previous generation chips did too, but at that time it caused a performance drop during continuous use.
Citing from GSMArena.com, this is the world's first 5nm processor for Windows devices. Unfortunately, Qualcomm has not revealed the CPU configuration used by this chipset. Qualcomm also revealed that this Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 processor for Windows laptops offers a very high performance increase of up to 85% in multi-core testing, compared to its predecessor.
In addition, GPU performance also increases by up to 60%. In addition, the NPU has been upgraded and now offers more than 29 TOPS or triple what the previous chip could manage. Qualcomm also mentions a battery life of up to days, but that will obviously depend on the individual laptop.
There are several chipset configurations that will be provided by Qualcomm for laptop vendors. For the highest configuration, it offers the X65 modem which provides downlink speeds of up to 10 Gbps, the older X55 is the middle option which goes up to 7.5 Gbps, then there is the X62 at 4.4 Gbps. Other connectivity includes the latest Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E.
There are also other features like AI-accelerated echo cancellation and noise cancellation. In addition, this chip supports multiple cameras, for example it can share front and rear cameras simultaneously for online presentations.
These features were created by Qualcomm to adapt to the needs of users during the current pandemic. Reportedly, the first Windows 11-based laptop that will use the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 processor will be coming soon in the first half of 2022.
Even so, it is not yet known which manufacturer will release a laptop with Qualcomm's latest processor.
