So I will stick with only the official 31% higher performance.

    Honestly I don't understand how can this be true.
    "According to Qualcomm, the new chip is 31% faster than last year’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 while drawing 39% less power."
    The performance increase let's say is doable by having a bit higher clocks and 2×A720 instead of 2x A-520.
    But I don't understand how It can draw 39% less power? That basically means SD8s Gen 3 consumes 64% more despite them using the same process and the Gen4 having higher clocks and 2 more powerful cores.

      Anonymous, 16 hours agoMore big cores mean nothing if necessary power budget is no... morePower budget is kinda fixed. I think it will be slightly better in geekbench performance vs power graph cuz of 2×A720. Standy time might take a hit.

        IEatIron, 17 hours agocouldn't they just call it the snapdragon 8s elite?No because it doesn't have the same oryon CPU cores found in 8 elite

              I Have Opinions, 22 hours agoUpgraded version of 8 gen 3? 8 Gen 3 had 2×A520 while this ... moreMore big cores mean nothing if necessary power budget is not given. They will either won't clock high or will struggle to maintain the frequency.
              I'll Jljust wait and see, instead of any predictions.

                couldn't they just call it the snapdragon 8s elite?

                  I also think that the 8s gen 4 has more powerful GPU than the GPU of 8 gen 3

                      Very cute CPU, 4K 60Hz HDR Recording is acceptable... I'm waiting for 8K 120 Fps CPU Phones... Then, I will buy that future phone.

                        403, 23 hours agoBro's just bragging that he's on China at this po... moreI know globally they won't be that price in other markets but my point is that when phones like the Redmi Turbo 4 pro or Poco F7 are launched there will already be phones with snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or dimensity 9300+ that have dropped in price to a similar level as the newly launched phones with 8s gen 4. This applies to other markets outside China too. The price is the similar price rather than the actual price as the actual price varies by market.

                          Crisanto Jimenez, 03 Apr 2025Yes it is slightly slower than the 8 gen 3 Upgraded version of 8 gen 3? 8 Gen 3 had 2×A520 while this has all big cores.

                            Claudespeed, 02 Apr 2025Increasing performance is pointless when thermal management... moreI honestly agree with you, but If this claim holds true
                            "According to Qualcomm, the new chip is 31% faster than last year’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 while drawing 39% less power."
                            then sustained performance should be pretty high.

                            For comparison:
                            Poco F6 with SD8s Gen3 managed 83% for CPU and 77% for GPU.
                            Poco F6 Pro with SD8 Gen2 managed 75-81% for CPU.
                            Poco X7 Pro with 8400 Ultra managed a 73% for CPU and 77% for GPU.
                            Poco F7 Pro with SD8 Gen3 managed a ~80% for CPU and 57.6% for GPU.
                            Poco F7 Ultra with SD8 Elite managed a

                              Wish it had the latest cores i.e. X925 if they didn't want to give Oryon cores. 8s Gen 3 had the latest cores when it launched.

                                Poco F7 Pro 12GB/512GB cheapest offer I found is 619€.
                                Poco X7 Pro 12GB/512GB cheapest offer I found is 358€.
                                Poco F7 Pro has Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 inside and this 8s Gen4 doesn't look to be any weaker in the CPU department, so I don't see any reason in releasing a Poco F7 with this one.
