OnePlus Nord CE 3 chipset

OnePlus has officially announced that the phone will be featuring a Snapdragon 782G chipset.
The processor earlier made its way to the iQOO Z7 5G smartphone in China (expected to be launched as iQOO Z7 Pro globally).
Qualcomm unveiled this chipset as an upgrade to Snapdragon 778G+ last year. This octa-core processor features a clock speed of up to 2.7Ghz.
For connectivity, Snapdragon X53 5G modem is present along with support for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 standards.
In terms of performance, the Adreno 642L GPU helps the processor to be 10 percent faster than its predecessor.
The 6nm chipset is made using TSMC’s N6 fabrication process which should allow for higher efficiency.
It is expected to be a decent upgrade over Mediatek Dimensity 900 that the OnePlus Nord CE 2 houses.
