Snapdragon 8 Gen 4: Big GPU, Small CPU Gains?

Early rumors suggest Qualcomm's upcoming flagship chip prioritizes graphics over raw processing power.

While we await the official unveiling at the Snapdragon Summit in October, leaks are already swirling about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. The latest whispers, courtesy of tipster @negativeonehero on X (formerly Twitter), suggest a somewhat uneven performance picture:

  • Modest CPU Gains: Don't expect a massive leap in processing power. Internal testing reportedly shows only single-digit percentage improvements compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
  • Huge GPU Boost: The graphics processor, however, is rumored to be getting a significant overhaul. The leaker claims performance could rival MediaTek's Dimensity 9300, but using only half the power.

What does this mean for you?

  • Gamers rejoice! The rumored GPU improvements could mean a significant boost in mobile gaming performance, with smoother frame rates and potentially better battery life.
  • Power users, hold your horses? If you prioritize raw CPU horsepower for demanding tasks, you might want to wait for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, expected in 2026 with custom "Pegasus" CPU cores.

Remember, these are just rumors for now. We'll have to wait for Qualcomm's official announcement to confirm the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4's capabilities.
