According to a leak from a well-known industry tipster, Digital Chat Station, Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor seems to be progressing as planned for a punctual release, showcasing a high level of performance.
The leaked information implies that the 8 Gen 4 chip will be capable of smoothly running the graphically intensive mobile game, Genshin Impact, at its original 1080p resolution.
Anticipated Wave of New Devices
Digital Chat Station also suggests that there will be a surge of new smartphones incorporating the 8 Gen 4 chip following China's National Day holiday on October 1st. This aligns with expectations as Qualcomm is set to unveil the new chipset in October.
Potential Devices and Benchmark Performance
Speculations point towards the Xiaomi 15 series smartphone being the first to feature the new chip, with subsequent releases from Redmi for the K80 series and OnePlus for the upcoming OnePlus 13 smartphone.
Benchmark results for the 8 Gen 4 have been consistently emerging. A recent instance involved a device equipped with the 8 Gen 4 processor achieving a score of 1,769,083 points on AnTuTu. Despite this, the score falls short of the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 due to the nature of the engineering sample used and significant CPU throttling during testing.
Final Thoughts and Awaited Reviews
To gain a comprehensive understanding of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4's actual capabilities, it is essential to wait for Qualcomm's official product launch and subsequent independent reviews.
