Gaming smartphone maker ASUS is gearing up for its next-generation gaming series dubbed ASUS ROG Phone 8. The Taiwanese giant has already started teasing some of its specifications, starting with the almighty Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC as the giant has confirmed the chipset.<\/p>\n
ASUS confirms ROG Phone 8 chipset<\/h2>\n
Comprising of three models \u2013 ROG Phone 8, ROG Phone 8 Pro<\/a> and ROG Phone 8 Ultimate, the upcoming gaming series will have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC under the hood. Built on a 4nm node by TSMC, the chipset has a maximum clock speed of 3.3 GHz.<\/p>\n It was recently spotted on AnTuTu crossing the 2 million point mark, proving that it is 20% more efficient and 30% more powerful than its predecessor \u2013 the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The chipset uses Cortex-X4 cores, Cortex-A720 and Cortex-A520, which helped it achieve an increase of over 36% in benchmark results before we even got our hands on the chipset.<\/p>\n It’s not just ASUS, but many smartphone makers have already lined up their flagship device that will use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC under the hood. Xiaomi has already won the title of “first smartphone maker to use the chipset” with the Xiaomi 14<\/a> series, while the AnTuTu leak of the OnePlus 12 also gave us over 2 million points on AnTuTu. The OnePlus 12 is expected to arrive in China later this year, followed by a launch early next year.<\/p>\n Realme GT5 Pro, iQOO 12 series, Xiaomi Redmi K70 series, and Samsung Galaxy S24 series<\/a>, among others, are also set to launch their flagship phones powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.<\/p>\n As for the ASUS ROG Phone 8 release date, we don’t have any official information about it. The ROG Phone 7 arrived in mid-April, which means we could see the ROG Phone 8 around the same time next year. Unless ASUS decides to follow in the footsteps of its competitors who are bringing forward the launch dates of their respective flagship devices.<\/p>\n You can follow Smartprix on Twitter<\/a>, Facebook, Instagram and Google News.
