After many rumors and leaks now Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC has finally been announced. AV1 support was expected, but the CPU configuration is quite strange.
It has a 1 x 2 x 2 x 3 configuration, comprised of 1x Cortex-X3, 2x Cortex-A715, 2x Cortex-A710, and 3x Cortex-A510r1. The X3 and A715 cores only support AArch64 ISA, but the A710 and A510r1 all support AArch32.
The reason to have 2x A715 and 2x A710 instead of just 4x A715 is ostensibly so 32-bit apps will perform better, as 32-bit apps will be able to run on all three Silver cores (A510r1) and two Gold cores (A710) instead of just the three Silver cores.
