In October 2024, Qualcomm will reveal its new flagship processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen4, a chipset that promises to revolutionize the performance of mobile devices. This processor is the first to incorporate the custom Oryon CPU cores, which have already been used in PC processors. Snapdragon X Elite y PlusHowever, ahead of its official unveiling, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4's technical specifications have been leaked, revealing key details that showcase its focus on power efficiency and artificial intelligence (AI).
Two versions of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4
El Snapdragon 8 Gen4 will be available in two versions: standard y "Premium"The standard version will be the one chosen by major brands such as Xiaomi, Vivo, OPPO, OnePlus, iQOO, Honor, Asus, and ZTE for their high-end smartphones. The Premium version, meanwhile, appears to be designed exclusively for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Energy efficiency and performance
Despite expectations of a huge jump in CPU performance, the leak suggests that Qualcomm has decided to prioritize the Energy Efficiency on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. This is due, in part, to the manufacturing process of 3 nm from TSMC, which will reduce power consumption without sacrificing performance.
Enhanced Artificial Intelligence
One of the highlights of this new SoC is its ability to Artificial IntelligenceThe Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 features a dedicated subsystem called Low Power Artificial Intelligence (LPAI)Which includes a eNPU (artificial intelligence accelerator for digital signal processing). This subsystem will improve the functionality of the camera, audio, and sensors. always-on. In addition, it incorporates the Qualcomm Sensing Hub (QSH), key to enabling advanced generative AI capabilities on the device.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Configuration
The new chipset will have a configuration of 2+6 cores, with two high-performance cores at 4,0 GHz and six efficiency cores at 2,8 GHz. It will also include the new Adreno GPU 830, designed to deliver exceptional graphics performance, the Qualcomm Spectra ISP to improve the functions of the camera and modem Qualcomm Fast Connect 7900, with support for Wi-Fi 7 y Bluetooth 5.4.
