Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (SM8650-AA)

8C/8T · 3.0 GHz

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (SM8650-AA) is a lower-clocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 that Qualcomm lists alongside the standard SM8650-AB. It keeps the full eight-core 1+5+2 Kryo CPU, Adreno 750 GPU, Hexagon NPU and Snapdragon X75 5G modem, but its Cortex-X4 prime core is limited to about 3.0 GHz instead of 3.3 GHz. It was later used in more affordable flagship phones such as the Honor 400 Pro.
