On January 30, it was reported that after the release of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen3 in October last year, many netizens are now beginning to pay attention to the dynamics of the next generation of Snapdragon 8 Gen4. Recently, @negativeonehero platform, a netizen on the X platform, broke the news in advance that it is said to be the running score of Snapdragon 8 Gen4, showing that its single-core performance is 46% higher than that of Snapdragon 8 Gen36%, which can compete with Apple M3 processors.
According to the leaks, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor is codenamed "Sun", which will be exclusively produced using TSMC 3nm process technology, and will also use Qualcomm's self-developed Oryon CPU cores, including 2 self-developed Phoenix L 6 self-developed Phoenix M cores octa-core architecture, with the highest frequency of 40ghz。It's important to note that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 doesn't seem to come with low-power cores, which are still based on the ARM instruction set.
According to tipsters, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 test frequency is 400GHz, so these single-core and multi-core results may also be based on the clock frequencies mentioned above. But in any case, it is for reference only, and the real data will not be determined until the Qualcomm Snapdragon summit in October this year.
In terms of performance, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 scored 2,845 points for single-core and 10,628 points for multi-core based on the Geekbench 6 test results. Compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3's single-core score of 2,346 and multi-core score of 7,249, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4's single-core and multi-core performance are improved by 213% and 466%。
While the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is still slightly lower than Apple's M3 processors for PCs, it's enough to compete with Apple's A-series processors. However, the specific power consumption of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is not **, so it remains to be seen in this regard.
It should be pointed out that foreign media wccftech believes that the "Lahaina" on the Antutu running score chart on the left side of ** is the code name of Snapdragon 888, and the actual code name of Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is "Pakala", so the above so-called Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 test results may have been edited (faked).
Regardless, as Qualcomm's first mobile processor platform to fully switch to self-developed CPU cores, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is indeed worth looking forward to.
