It seems that next-gen of flagship mobile chipsets will be sacrificing power efficiency in favour of performance boost. This is according to a new leak that claimed ARM’s upcoming Cortex-X3 cores to be more power hungry than its predecessor.
The new Cortex-X3 cores are expected to make its way into next generation mobile chipsets including the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Samsung Exynos 2300. Furthermore, it may even feature inside the MediaTek Dimensity 10000.
In a report by South Korean leaker Meeco, ARM’s Cortex-X3 cores will be less efficient than the already power hungry Corte-X2 cores found inside the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Exynos 2200. The leaker further elaborated that the new cores offer just a slim performance boost over its predecessor, but will be 10% less efficient when clocked at 3.0 GHz or higher.
Furthermore, Meeco claimed that the cores won’t offer groundbreaking raw CPU performance. However, it will be boasting incredible AI performance, allegedly up to 100% increase!
In the same post, Meeco also said that these figures are based on Samsung and TSMC’s next-gen nodes. Moreover, the leaker also claimed that Qualcomm is planning to return to in-house cores such as the ones found in Snapdragon 865 rather than utilising ARM’s, but this would only be the case in 2024 at the earliest.
As always, please take these leaks with a grain of salt as nothing is confirmed as of yet. However, if it proves to be true, it’ll be interesting to see how these new chips will affect battery life.
