The processor has a 1+5+2 core configuration, including a Cortex X4 core, compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2's 1+4+3 core setting. The Geekbench scores show that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 outperforms even Apple's latest A16 Bionic chipset.
It's important to note that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 tested is likely an engineering sample and the engineers may still be testing its limits.
