As expected and as I predicted years ago, the smartphone market has withered away, now everyone has again spread to the laptop and desktop PC market, i.e. a market where something new and productive for mankind is created. Smartphones for consumers, Laptops and PCs for creators.

While the Qualcomm snapdragon 8 gen 1 and 8 gen 2 are amazingly powerful SoC phone chips, the upcoming gen 3 will be even more awesome which is great news for android phones. However, as amazing as that maybe, it'll have a hard time outperforming apple iphones since their superior hardware software optimization has always outdone android phones.

Surely you mean the 8G3 will use a Cortex-X4 core.

The Cortex-X3 is already shipping this year in the 8G2.

QuoteThere is no word about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3's specs, but it'll likely feature one Cortex-X3 core combined with three/four Cortex-A720 (tentative) and four/three Cortex-A510 cores
