Early Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and Dimensity 9400 benchmarks show incredible performance

01 February 2024
Incredible or impossible? The gains are much bigger than we would normally expect for a generational improvement.

When I need a new phone and see this news. What a shame I can't wait for it. Will buy a new phone now and wait for 8 gen 7 maybe.

        LoneOwl, 01 Feb 2024So these devices post over 2x highter Antutu score than 8ge... moreIt is not fake.

        Brands have had samples of these chips since mid 2023 to test.
        I said months ago multicore of 8g4 was 10.000.
        Some phones with it may be announced in late october 2024.

          Anonymous, 01 Feb 2024For what 8K 60fps?!8g3 already can support 8K@60 (single exposure).
          But no sensor for cellphone can record this mode.

            It's quite expected and probably possible at the same time since it's already in 3nm node. But wait until next year to reveal the 2nm node flagship chipsets, i bet more performance improvements and dropping efficiency cores will still continue since 2nm is already battery efficient.

              Hope efficiency is on top because I want more compact phones to be really good at battery life.

                Performance gains are definitely needed, but as others said here, efficiency is also important. Despite what marketing says, phones with 5-6 hours of SOT are not "full day" devices.

                  Django27, 01 Feb 2024A18 Bionic - 3500, A17 bionic - 3200 on geekbench. Qualcomm... moreThere were two modes and the 80w mode showed there was major diminishing returns compared to 25w. There isn't a reason to run 80w unless you have sufficient cooling, but you won't gain much performance

                    Remember all the buzz about Snapdragon X Elite coming up for the PC space. Wonder how related they are.

                      Here I am very happy with my 380k antutu phone
                      Does everything that I need smoothly
                      Not everything that I want
                      But I love it. I am not at all a power user
                      I touch grass every day

                        A18 Bionic - 3500, A17 bionic - 3200 on geekbench. Qualcomm went custom processor for nothing. ARM chips have caught up and will now exceed the Qualcomm Nuvia chips that are in the making for over 4 years. Nuvia's Oryon chips aren't efficient either consuming 80Watts of power for the same performance as M2. Smh.

                              time to get fanless laptops with these processors. Performance and battery for days

                                  Anonymous, 01 Feb 2024What is the power draw TDPProbably somewhere between 15-18w using other SoCs as a bar to go off. Pretty impressive if true, 4.0ghz on a single core max is what desktop silicon was doing 7 years ago (when 8 cores became the norm) but using basically 1/4 of the power draw or less (plus better intergrated graphics in current phone SoCs).

                                    Since no one is working on battery life, y'all better put at least 5.5k batteries next year.

                                      Samsung have gold in hands. It's have much beter 3nm node than tsmc. Next year will be a good year for efficient socs are coming.

                                        Techgeek91, 01 Feb 20248+gen 1 is still a good midranger, better than mtk 8 series... moreIts still a good top end performer, it's not all about just cpu and gpu cores in a SoC. Im rocking the 888 still in my main daily and its done everything needed, instantly, and has never felt any slow downs (im not AAA mobile gaming needing 120+ fps) .
