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.

Love to see that , mobile processors are close to PC processors , today's flagship processor is equal to 5 years old PC processor . And the difference is closer day by day .

    And let me guess, no matter how powerful it is, it will drain the battery even faster than gen 3 even for browsing and talking?

                What raw computational power could be handy for: for main camera, 8K 30 fps has been achieved only recently (previously only 24 fps), and based on the reviews it seems that stabilization is available up to 4K only. For selfie cam, GSM Arena has been coy about this but real time beauty filter is also computationally intensive and AFAIK it's available up to 1080p only (on vivo midrangers at least).

                  What is the power draw TDP

                    Techgeek91, 01 Feb 20248+gen 1 is still a good midranger, better than mtk 8 series... moreNot true.

                      Invetor, 01 Feb 2024I'm using a phone with Helio G99 (redmi 11 prime, 6/12... moreI would call Snapdragon 625 as mostly adequate. G99 is probably much faster than the 625.

                        If the flagship chips are this much faster, the sub-flagship chips should reach 2M points in AnTuTu 10 (Dimensity 8400 & Snapdragon 7 series equivalent).

                          Invetor, 01 Feb 2024These scores make the 8+gen1 look dated 💀8+gen 1 is still a good midranger, better than mtk 8 series and even 9000+

                            rizki1, 01 Feb 2024insane, what do you want to do with performance this fast?So... is likely that the launch time be from October. They are really accelerating with this.

                            Meanwhile Apple should add 2 more cores in order to catch them up. Even if is small, is a very BIG jump.

                              Akarius, 01 Feb 2024I don't think anyone will benefit from even more power... moreNah, we need more power to play better looking games.

                                3 Million+ score in AnTuTu is absolutely wild 💀

                                  Media tek, 01 Feb 2024In real life mt helio 99 is more than enough. M6 pro is rea... moreI'm using a phone with Helio G99 (redmi 11 prime, 6/128) and I have to disagree. This SoC is "just enough" for regular usage.

                                    Not even 6 months after the release od SD Gen 3 phones and some people will already be having buyer's remorse

                                      These scores make the 8+gen1 look dated 💀

                                        I don't think anyone will benefit from even more power at this stage, unless onboard AI technology will spark the power race anew. We could use more power efficiency though, maybe it's time improvement touched that area more.
