The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip may focus on improving GPU power consumption rather than increasing CPU power.

It is already expected according to the schedule next October. We are supposed to see the launch of a new flagship chipset like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 from Qualcomm, followed by the launch of a flagship phone that will use the new chip like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra early next year. Recently, rumors have started to appear about the performance of this new chip.

Source data indicates the test results as follows.

• At 8W of power consumption, the CPU's multi-core processing power is on par with the MediaTek Dimensity 7300.
• At 8W, the GPU benchmark results are as good as the Dimensity 9300 (but the Snap uses about 50% less power).
• The P-core (high-performance core) scored around 3200 points in the test, and the single core has a power consumption of less than 6 watts.
• The power consumption rate of the whole device while there is no operating load. It is only about 9W.
• The E-core (the power-saving core) scores around 1400-1500 points in the test.

Which from the test results said that it gives the picture that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip may not have more CPU power, but the GPU part has been modified to get higher performance than before. Using power more efficiently than before There is also an opinion that if users want the CPU power to be significantly higher than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. It may be better to continue using the same device to skip the 4th generation and wait to buy the 5th generation in 2026.
