Putting an end to the rumors and speculations, Qualcomm has announced an upgrade to its existing Snapdragon 730G gaming chipset today. The new chipset is called the ‘Snapdragon 732G’ and it offers faster CPU and GPU performance compared to its predecessor. Qualcomm has further confirmed that Snapdragon 732G will first show up in an upcoming Poco phone, which we have discussed below.
Snapdragon 732G is an octa-core chipset based on the 8nm process node. It includes two key upgrades over its predecessor, the Snapdragon 730G, which powers the Poco X2. This chipset includes the same Kryo 470 cores but the two Performance cores are now clocked at 2.3GHz as opposed to 2.2GHz aboard the Snapdragon 730G. It brings only a minor 0.1GHz bump for the Performance cores while the six ‘Efficiency’ cores are still clocked at 1.8GHz.
The first Phone Powered by Snapdragon 732G
The official Qualcomm blog post reveals that Poco will be the first company to use the Snapdragon 732G in an upcoming phone. And since we saw Poco announce the launch date for the Poco X3 NFC merely a few hours after this gaming chipset went official, it is obvious that the Poco X3 NFC will be the first smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 732G chipset.
