According to recent reports, the Snapdragon 888 Pro will have a three-cluster design, which includes a single super-large core, three large cores, and four small cores. The CPU frequency will be overclocked to 3.0GHz, and several smartphone manufacturers are already testing it.
However, the famous blogger Digital Chat Station stated that the Snapdragon 888 Pro would not be featured in many upcoming phones, even though some manufacturers have yet to acquire it, as the performance improvement is too limited.
