We’ve been seeing some spectacular benchmark outcomes from the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, however most of them have targeted on the CPU facet of issues. Nonetheless, the brand new GPU, Adreno 830, may be a good greater 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. Notice that the 1.15GHz determine and the benchmark outcomes beneath are from a QRD, i.e. a Qualcomm Reference Machine, which usually makes use of early runs of recent chips that may’t hit the identical clock speeds because the retail model, so 1.25GHz continues to be doable.
Outcomes from GFX Bench’s Aztec Ruins Excessive present a 125fps end result 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 embody 166fps on 3DMark’s Wild Life offscreen check and 44fps on Wild Life Excessive Limitless.
The primary telephones with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 ought to 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, but it surely’s not clear whether or not this era there can be larger 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 unsure what the ultimate clock pace for the CPU can be. Final 12 months there was discuss that Qualcomm may dual-source the 8 Gen 4 chips, however extra just lately we’ve solely heard of 3nm chips from TSMC’s foundry.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is predicted subsequent month and the primary telephones to make use of it ought to be out nearly instantly after (the OnePlus 13 has been confirmed for an October launch, the Xiaomis will come out even sooner).
