High-performance Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 are tipped to reach a new peak
Based on the information he shared, high-performance cores inside the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 could reach 4.00GHz. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3’s high-performance cores peak at 3.30GHz. Needless to say, this would be a huge boost.
As many of you know, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be manufactured using TSMC’s second-gen 3nm process. That should bring improved power efficiency to the table, in addition to the performance boost that the chip will get.
That chip could ditch efficiency cores altogether

Now, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 could ditch efficiency cores, much like MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300 did. That fact could provide a performance boost but also affect power efficiency. On the flip side, the new 3nm node will improve power efficiency, so perhaps things will balance out.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is expected to offer a 2+6 core setup. The Adreno 830 GPU will be used, and based on some rumors, that GPU is faster than the one on Apple’s M2 chip. It remains to be seen though.
Qualcomm is expected to utilize Oryon cores
It’s also worth noting that Qualcomm plans to utilize its Oryon cores this time around. We wonder what kind of change will they represent in the general scheme of things.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is expected to arrive in the fourth quarter of this year. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 arrived in late October, while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is rumored to arrive even sooner than that this year.
It will compete directly with the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processor, needless to say. The two companies have been at it for quite some time now.
