          Is it worth to upgrade from snapdragon 865 to snapdragon elite ( 8 gen 4 ) ?

            I'm surprised at the power saving claims with 6 power cores clocked far higher than most chips.

                I need new phone, 21 Oct 2024It looks all good on paper but we gotta see which Processor... morethey use almost same power
                https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1fMyLYZE1n/?spm_id_from=333.999.0.0

                anyone interested geekerwan video in chinese.

                - cpu 8 elite demolish anything, suprised phoenix M managed to match A720
                -gpu at low power Dimensity more efficient at high power they are same
                -gaming they trade blows both amazing

                  The numbers alone are impressive and quite close to what Mediatek claimed (and delivered) with the 9400. Hope the tests are out soon.

                        I need new phone, 21 Oct 2024Any info on temperatures? No. These are from Qualcomm reference device test.

                            It looks all good on paper but we gotta see which Processor is more efficient..... I prefer my phone being more stable and cooler on this level of performance
                            Until now D9400 was absolutely lovely...... Genshin impact on max setting gets max 40°C and stable 60fps while drawing max 5.5W
                            Gotta wait for 8 elite results

                              Ab, 21 Oct 2024So Qualcom have now jumped on the all big core train ... No... morethis year adreno is huge jump, many desktop class features have been added, i dont think any gpu will be close, they design this for AAA games.

                              also we dont know characteristics of Phoenix M yet, wait for reviews to see how it scale.

                                Google Pixel series should have used the Qualcomm processor 🙄, we would have known the raw power of the snapdragon processors, I am desperately waiting for Samsung Galaxy S25 base model ....

                                  12mb of gmem is huge, 8g1 only had 2mb. Dont know how much 8g3 had, maybe 3 or 4.

                                    Price of 190$ is insane. Yes , it is amazing, but c'mon, we don't have games for this. Plus, such power need great thermal management. In current situation is waste of money, just to scroll on social media and couple of photos a day. Other companies need to deliver game titles, mostly of them free on google play, or with reasonable 10$ price.

                                        So Qualcom have now jumped on the all big core train ... Now It's a tough competetion b/w dimensity 9400 and 8 Elite

                                        My guesses

                                        CPU perf: Qualcom wins in Single Threaded because of That HUGE Orion core and in multi thread maybe qualcom wins because it also now uses all big core design just like dimensity

                                        GPU perf: Dimensity wins in Raytracing since 9300 was already better than 8 gen 3 and qualcom claiming 35 performance improvement but Dimensity claiming 40 % improvement over what was already better than qualcom. However in Raster performance not sure but I think qualcom maybe win

                                        NPU: No one cares but My guess is Dimensity wins

                                          9 of 11
