We’ve been seeing some spectacular benchmark outcomes from the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, however most of them have centered on the CPU aspect of issues. Nonetheless, the brand new GPU, Adreno 830, is likely to be a fair larger improve with one Weibo person reporting a 43% to 56% enchancment.
The GPU will allegedly run at 1.15GHz. Beforehand, Ice Universe reported that clock speeds as excessive as 1.25GHz have been being examined. Be aware that the 1.15GHz determine and the benchmark outcomes beneath are from a QRD, i.e. a Qualcomm Reference System, which usually makes use of early runs of latest chips that may’t hit the identical clock speeds because the retail model, so 1.25GHz remains to be doable.
Outcomes from GFX Bench’s Aztec Ruins Excessive present a 125fps outcome for the 8 Gen 4 chip, whereas the Adreno 750 contained in the 8 Gen 3 achieves 96fps. Different outcomes for the brand new GPU embrace 166fps on 3DMark’s Wild Life offscreen check and 44fps on Wild Life Excessive Limitless.
The primary telephones with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 must be the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Professional, adopted by the OnePlus 13 and iQOO 13. We’ve additionally seen benchmarks from the Galaxy S25 Extremely, however it’s not clear whether or not this era there can be increased clocked “for Galaxy” chips or not.
Talking of, the Galaxy S25 Extremely had its two prime cores clocked at 4.2GHz. We’ve additionally seen them decrease (4.1GHz) and better (4.32GHz), so we’re undecided what the ultimate clock velocity for the CPU can be. Final 12 months there was discuss that Qualcomm may dual-source the 8 Gen 4 chips, however extra not too long ago we’ve solely heard of 3nm chips from TSMC’s foundry.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is anticipated subsequent month and the primary telephones to make use of it must be out nearly instantly after (the OnePlus 13 has been confirmed for an October launch, the Xiaomis will come out even sooner).
