When it comes to Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, many friends may still have the impression of staying on the "Fire Dragon" Snapdragon 888, its power consumption is too high, the experience and reputation are very poor, and it is one of the most serious models of Qualcomm series processors overturning.
However, the Snapdragon 888 is already a product several generations ago, and phones equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor have now been released on the market, so everyone's impression of the Qualcomm processor should not be too stereotypical, and in all fairness, these generations of new products have improved a lot.
The following is the news about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor. Generally speaking, the strategy and playing method adopted by chip manufacturers is the mass production generation, the R&D generation and the pre-research generation, and these three tasks are carried out at the same time.
The first generation of products has begun to be finalized and mass-produced, and the R&D progress of the next generation of products has passed at least one-third, so it is not surprising that there have been a lot of revelations about the Snapdragon 8 gen 4 processor recently.
Compared to previous generations of processors, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor is very noteworthy. One of the reasons is that there have been rumors that Qualcomm intends to use its own self-developed core, and the internal engineering boards of previous generations of processors have two versions of different cores, but Qualcomm's overall attitude is more conservative and did not use it in the official version at the first time.
And this may change in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, where Qualcomm may have its own cores. It is rumored to use the "2 + 6" architecture, with two large cores and 6 medium cores for "Phoenix", and no small cores.
On the other hand, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 (and MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 are both rumored to be manufactured using TSMC's second-generation 3nm process, which is very interesting. Based on the above factors, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 may be Qualcomm's big move after holding back for a few years, so it is worth looking forward to.
Recently, the good news came that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor's performance score has been **, which can be roughly used as a reference for the time being.
On the Geekbench 6 platform, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor achieves a single-core performance score of 2845 points and a multi-core performance score of 10628 points, as shown in Figure 2. For reference, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor achieves a single-core performance score of 2207 and a multi-core performance score of 7494, as shown in Figure 3. The Apple M3 processor has a single-core performance score of 2895 points and a multi-core performance score of 10762 points, see Figure 4.
Using the above scores, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor's single-core and multi-core performance are about 28 ahead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, respectively9% and 418%, a huge performance improvement.
On the other hand, the single-core and multi-core performance of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor is only slightly lower than that of the Apple M3 processor, and the gap is basically negligible, and the overall performance of the two is basically the same.
Judging from the above ** scores, compared to the previous generation of Snapdragon 8 gen 3, the performance of the Snapdragon 8 gen 4 processor has improved very much, which is worth affirming, but there are still two very key factors unknown.
First of all, it is still the cliché power, because there are no small cores in rumors, so it is very reasonable for the public to question its power consumption, and the performance improvement is very large, but the power consumption control is not good, and it cannot be recognized by users. The second unknown factor is GPU performance, and there is no revelation about this in the market at present, so everyone needs to be patient.
Finally, a word to add:
The various data published in this article are from third-party channels, and the scores of different *** may be slightly different, with certain fluctuations up and down, and I have seen several versions, which is very normal. Therefore, the content of this article is not guaranteed to be absolutely accurate and reliable, and can only be used as a general reference at this stage, so readers are requested to be cautious.
