The Snapdragon eight Gen 4 chipset will likely be Qualcomm’s next-generation flagship cellular platform as soon as it’s launched in October. Forward of the launch, a number of reviews have pointed to the potential enhancements the chipset may get. A brand new leak now claims that the chip may supply vital GPU energy effectivity, nonetheless, its CPU efficiency might not match the expectations of shoppers. Notably, the Snapdragon eight Gen Four chipset is claimed to be constructed upon a 3nm course of expertise from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Firm (TSMC).
Snapdragon eight Gen Four SoC Tipped to Not Get Vital CPU Efficiency
In a put up on X (previously generally known as Twitter), a leak aggregator who goes by the username @negativeonehero posted a screenshot of a Weibo put up of a Chinese language tipster. Summarising the tipster’s data, the X consumer mentioned, “Trying on the inside testing information of 8G4, the CPU effectivity enchancment is within the single digit share, however the GPU enchancment is large, D9300 peak at half the ability is feasible.”
Within the authentic put up, the tipster claimed to have seen the inner benchmark and energy consumption information of the Snapdragon eight Gen Four chipset. Based mostly on this, it’s mentioned that the Adreno 750 GPU, which is anticipated to be built-in into the SoC, will get a significant increase. The tipster claims that it could actually present related 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. Nevertheless, the put up doesn’t share any benchmark numbers that spotlight the improve. As such, it will seem that the chipset may concentrate on GPU effectivity as a substitute of CPU efficiency.
Nevertheless, it must be famous that these are simply rumours, and since not one of the data has come from official sources, it must be taken with a pinch of salt. The chipmaker has solely confirmed that the upcoming flagship cellular platform will use its in-house Oryon CPU and can function a devoted neural processing unit (NPU). Extra data will solely be accessible as soon as Snapdragon formally pronounces the eight Gen Four chipset at its October occasion.
