A recent leak suggests that Qualcomm‘s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor could achieve clock speeds up to 4.37 GHz, surpassing the previously confirmed 4.09 GHz.
If accurate, this would put it close to Apple’s A18 Pro, which tops out at 4.45 GHz.
Additionally, the chipset is rumored to include advanced features like a DLSS Frame Gen-like function for its Adreno 760 GPU, which could significantly boost gaming performance.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is a new processor that will power high-end smartphones. Unlike older models that used standard Arm cores, this one uses a custom design called Oryon, which is also used in Qualcomm’s computer processors.
However, it will likely be 25-30% more expensive than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which means flagship phones using this chip might cost more in 2025.
What do you think—will these improvements make Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 the new leader in mobile performance?
