This will be Qualcomm's first chip to have “Titanium” cluster and as of now, it's unclear how it will differ from the “Gold” cluster.

This includes two ARM Hayes (A5XX) “Silver” cores, three ARM Hunter (A7XX) “Gold” cores, two ARM Hunter (A7XX) “Titanium” cores, and one ARM Hunter ELP (Xn) “Gold” core. The tweet states that it will have a new CPU configuration with a 2+3+2+1 structure.

The details come via a thread on Twitter by Kuba Wojciechowski who claims that this next-gen chip will have the model number SM8650, and will be codenamed Lanai, or Pineapple. It's hard to say if the Gen 3 SoC will actually arrive in phones this year or if we will have to wait until 2024. If the company's past launches are anything to go by, then we'll probably also see debut of a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 SoC as a mid-year refresh with improved thermal performance and power efficiency. The chip is said to be codenamed either Lanai or Pineapple, and is expected to be launched in late 2023, possibly during Qualcomm's annual Summit in Hawaii. The upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC is said to feature a restructured CPU cluster layout, and will most likely support only 64-bit computing, removing all 32-bit support. Details about Qualcomm's next-gen flagship SoC have begun trickling in, months ahead of its expected debut.
