The codename of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, nicknamed “Pineapple”, has been revealed in this benchmark. According to many rumours, this is the codename used internally by Qualcomm. The details of the benchmark indicate that the chip would have a main core clocked at 3.19 GHz, five intermediate cores at 2.96 GHz and two cores at 2.27 GHz. Digital Chat Station also confirms that this configuration would include a Cortex X4, five Cortex-A720s and two Cortex-A520s, with an Adreno 750 GPU.

The device used for the benchmark runs Android 14, indicating that the RedMagic 9 Pro could be one of the first smartphones to use the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip before the end of 2023.
