Samsung Galaxy S24 series’ Snapdragon chip to feature new core structure, only 64-bit support

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra 16GB RAM

Qualcomm has not yet launched the overclocked variant of vanilla Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and we’ve started to hear some early details (such as core structure) of the future Snapdragon chip, which will power the Samsung Galaxy S24 series.

According to the leak, Qualcomm has codenamed the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 as either “Lanai” or “Pineapple.” And the leak further claims that the chip will adopt a new 2+3+2+1 structure, which could be the same for the Samsung Galaxy S24 series’ custom Snapdragon processor.

Qualcomm’s most successful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset features a 1+4+4 core layout. The new cluster comes from the “titanium” cluster that includes two Arm “Hunter” (A7xx) cores. That said, it’s expected that the overall architecture of the next-gen Snapdragon chip could be as follows:

  • Two A5xx cores
  • Three A7xx cores
  • Two A7xx cores
  • One “gold+” core
  • Adreno 750 GPU @ 770 MHz
  • Linux kernel 6.1

It has been revealed that these are new cores from Arm, which could “replace the whole current lineup.” Besides, the new Arm chips probably drop support for 32-bit entirely, going 64-bit only. This follows Google’s way of gradually terminating the 32-bit support on Android.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy?

This year, Qualcomm and Samsung introduced a Galaxy-exclusive Snapdragon processor, as part of their multi-year partnership. The Korean tech giant is bringing the “Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy”-powered Galaxy S23 series to all regions and markets including Europe.

Compared to the standard variant (via), Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy has an increased primary clock speed from 3.2GHz to 3.36GHz and an increased GPU clock speed from 680MHz to 719MHz. Moreover, the company has further optimized it for the Galaxy S23 series with deep machine learning.

As the company’s dream chipset is in the initial stage, we don’t think it will take any kind of risk by commercializing it with the Galaxy S24 series. Accordingly, there are high chances of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for the Galaxy processor’s debut, which will power the Galaxy S24.

Various Chinese phone makers adopted the waterdrop hinge technology. Oppo’s Find N2 is a smartphone with the least visible crease in the industry as per the feedback of reviewers. However, durability always remains in priority as the foldable form factor is yet to mature.
