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.

        PureOS, 02 Apr 2025This will be in Poco F7, with price tag under 400€. U can&#... moreAnd you won't find It.
        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.

          Like come on man I think you know that they won't sell it that cheap outside China. 😭😭😭

                So basically it is SD 8 gen 3 Lite .

                  Rolly Ghiz, 03 Apr 2025True but a correction though. It's the number of pipel... moreYes that's right Adreno & Mali GPUs has many divided shading cores

                    Crisanto Jimenez, 03 Apr 2025To calculate the FP32 GFLOPS of the Adreno 735 GPU of 8s ge... moreTrue but a correction though. It's the number of pipelines × shading units × GPU frequency × 2
                    For the Dimensity 9400, it's 12×128×1612×2=4952GFLOPS

                        Downgraded version of sd 8 gen 3.

                          Anonymous, 03 Apr 2025But Qualcomm like other manufacturers doesn't release ... moreTo calculate the FP32 GFLOPS of the Adreno 735 GPU of 8s gen 3 is just by multiplying the total shading units which has 768 to 1100 MHz clock speed & then multiply by 2 so it goes just like this: 768 x 1100 x 2 = 1689.6 FP32 GFLOPS or 1.6 FP32 TFLOPS

                          This technical details is from the Wikipedia "Adreno"

                            i love this newly released Qualcomm soc but i am more convince with the upcoming Dimensity 9400e that will be more powerful than the current dimensity 9300+ & will eventually destroy this 8s gen 4 in terms of performance 🤔

                              Crisanto Jimenez, 03 Apr 2025Because Qualcomm claims it has 49% of graphics performance ... moreBut Qualcomm like other manufacturers doesn't release technical details to the public such as the maximum theoretical GFLOPS of their GPUs. Qualcomm like other manufacturers also doesn't release all the technical details to the public that make it possible to calculate the maximum theoretical GFLOPS of their GPUs, so how is the maximum theoretical GFLOPS of the Snapdragon 8s gen 3 was calculated?

                                  Anonymous, 03 Apr 2025How do you know?Because Qualcomm claims it has 49% of graphics performance uplift from 8s gen 3 which has 1689 of GPU FP32 GFLOPS

Also it's name is Adreno 825 so probably better tban 8 Gen 3's 750.
