Those following the release of Qualcomm's chipsets will notice that the specifications discussed in the tweet below are no different from those of the company when it released the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, which uses the following configuration.

A new rumor says a Qualcomm chipset with model SM7475 is testing the three-cluster CPU structure. Given that the SM8475 is ultimately called the "Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen1", this number alone indicates that the upcoming chip will be called the "Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen1". A tweet shared by Roland Quandt talks about different clock speeds belonging to the SM7475 or Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen1.

He claims that the main core and gold core will operate at 2.40GHz, while the silver core will operate at 1.80GHz. Those following the release of Qualcomm's chipsets will notice that the specifications discussed in the tweet below are no different from those of the company when it released the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, which uses the following configuration.

One ARM Cortex-A710 main core, operating frequency of 2.40GHz

Three ARM Cortex-A710 performance core, operating frequency of 2.36GHz

Four ARM Cortex-A510 efficiency core, operating frequency of 1.80GHz

Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen1 can improve performance compared to its previous generation, the answer is to carry out large-scale production on a better manufacturing process. In this case, this will be TSMC's 4nm node, which may also be used to make Snapdragon 8 Gen2's 4nm process has been proven to outperform the Samsung 's 4nm process, which will ultimately enable the new SoC to run at higher continuous clock speeds, resulting in better performance while generating less heat.

In addition, this three-cluster CPU configuration may be completely different from the ones running on Snapdragon 7th generation. For example, the main kernel might be the Cortex-X3, which has a completely different architecture than the Cortex-A710. Additionally, we may see the Cortex-A710 as the gold core rather than having the Cortex-A715 core run on the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 1, so there will be a big difference between the two SoCs.

Qualcomm is expected to release the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen1 during the annual Snapdragon summit, and the Snapdragon 8th Generation will also be released at the conference. In terms of performance, this new member is expected to beat the Snapdragon 8th-generation Gen 1, bringing more value to the non-flagship smartphone launched in 2023.
