            it's a combinations of cores

            p-core higher freq. more power = less battery
            e-core low freq. more battery = less power

            more power = more heat
            less heat = low performance

              Too much RAM in Samsung flagship. This is capacity of budget phones. Not ultra budget but budget.

                      This is the reason companies don't care - they: 1) put a high number so fanboys can argue and create publicity/visibility for products; 2) they don't care how long those numbers can stay high because it pretty much doesn't matter.

That is dangerously close to A18 single core performance, so Apple must be working overtime to make them push a new update on Geekbench 😂

                              Before I spoil the spoiler alerts SNAPDRAGON 8 GEN 4 it is a holding name for now
                              Only if this SoC remains a 4nm process WITHOUT Qualcomm Oryon will it be named Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. I GUARANTEE IT!

                              If next month October 2024 Qualcomm releases Oryon &/OR 3nm there simply won't be a SNAPDRAGON 8 Gen 4 there could be Snapdragon 8S Gen 4

                              First this 2+6 configuration is almost as bizarre as asking me to accept Monopoly money as a legal tender. I'm leaving it at that. 2 x 4.19 GHz – 6 x 2.90 GHz

                              Second Even using Apple clock speed only increased by 0.26 Ghz or just below 7%

                              You could have at least waited BEFORE guessing this part.
                              The clock speed instead of jumping the shark jumps Apple, a 0.89 Ghz increase!!!
                              This is a near 27% over the previous 3.125%
                              A double digit increase on an architecture that makes no generational sense.

                              These so-called tipsters really don't know/ REALLY REALLY DON'T KNOW*** /don't care, that aside really Samsung are going to leak Qualcomm sensitive information 2 weeks before Qualcomm official Announcement

                              *** Geekbench benchmarks can be run in PRIVATE by any manufacturer. Only these fabricated leaked items that are missing so many other criteria seem to be the ones published.
                              These tipsters with their fake stories ARE CONSISTENTLY wrong, an iota of common sense if only

                                Anonymous, 24 Sep 2024Damn that's a disappointing score i expected it to be ... moreIt can scale up and reach those leaked numbers....but do you really want to cook your device for performance? Power consumption soars to reach those values.

                                  hmm early benchmarks, yeah, but this is more in-line with what i expected. I don't mean to be a snob but I really really hope Snapdragon chips are slower than the Mediatek chips this year, so they're forced to reduce costs next year in fear of companies switching sides.

                                  Anyways, I think the end scores are gonna be 3k+ for single core and 9k+ for multi score. Hopefully they close the gap with Apple. This year we're gonna get close single core performance and better multi-core performance, hopefully next year Qualcomm and Mediatek can provide a better/the same single core performance as well. Apple's days of acting all snobby are over.

                                    I'm surprised to see the 8 gen 4 isn't armv9. I wonder if that's why they boosted the clock speeds so much, to make up for the v8 instruction set lagging behind in performance.

                                      This is the closest any other phone has gotten to apple in geekbench single core for like a decade.

                                      Expect geekbench 7 soon.
