Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Chipset Might Not Offer Significant CPU Improvements

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset might be Qualcomm’s next-generation flagship cell platform as soon as it’s launched in October. Forward of the launch, a number of reviews have pointed to the doable enhancements the chipset might get. A brand new leak now claims that the chip may provide vital GPU energy effectivity, nevertheless, its CPU efficiency could not match the expectations of customers. Notably, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset is alleged to be constructed upon a 3nm course of expertise from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Firm (TSMC).

Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC Tipped to Not Get Important CPU Efficiency

In a post on X (previously referred to as Twitter), a leak aggregator who goes by the username @negativeonehero posted a screenshot of a Weibo submit of a Chinese language tipster. Summarising the tipster’s info, the X person mentioned, “Wanting on the inside testing knowledge of 8G4, the CPU effectivity enchancment is within the single digit proportion, however the GPU enchancment is large, D9300 peak at half the ability is feasible.”

Within the unique submit, the tipster claimed to have seen the inner benchmark and energy consumption knowledge of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. Based mostly on this, it’s mentioned that the Adreno 750 GPU, which is predicted to be built-in into the SoC, will get a serious enhance. The tipster claims that it will possibly present comparable GPU efficiency as MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300 chipset at half the ability consumption.

There’s a draw back as nicely. As per the tipster, the CPU efficiency of the chipset is underwhelming and solely exhibits a single-digit enchancment in comparison with its predecessor. Nonetheless, the submit doesn’t share any benchmark numbers that spotlight the improve. As such, it could seem that the chipset may give attention to GPU effectivity as an alternative of CPU efficiency.

Nonetheless, it ought to be famous that these are simply rumours, and since not one of the info has come from official sources, it ought to be taken with a pinch of salt. The chipmaker has solely confirmed that the upcoming flagship cell platform will use its in-house Oryon CPU and can characteristic a devoted neural processing unit (NPU). Extra info will solely be out there as soon as Snapdragon formally pronounces the 8 Gen 4 chipset at its October occasion.
