According to a Weibo post coming from a well-known Digital Chat Station leaker, caught by GSMArena.com, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, as it is expected to be called considering Qualcomm's new naming scheme, could end up with a dual cluster CPU design, featuring four Cortex-A710 performance cores and four Cortex-A510 efficiency cores, as well as the Adreno 662 GPU.

This could put the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 just a notch below the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which has a triple-cluster design, with a single Cortex-X2 prime core, three Cortex-A710 performance cores, and four Cortex-A510 efficiency cores. Of course, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 still packs a much more powerful Adreno GPU.

It is left to be seen if the new chip will be made on Samsung's 4nm or TSMC's 5nm manufacturing process.
