Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 benchmarks leaked and launch speculation unveiled: Everything you need to know

Rumors about the upcoming Qualcomm chipset, Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, are spreading with anticipation. Expected to debut later this year, possibly around October, the SoC has attracted attention, especially with recent benchmark leaks and insights from tipster DigitalChatStation.

Benchmark Insights and Architecture Details

According to DigitalChatStation, the leaked benchmarks of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 were based on low-frequency engineering samples of the chipset. Such practices are common during early stages of development to assess stability. It is important to note that the Geekbench numbers seen so far may not fully represent the final performance of the chipset.

DigitalChatStation provided additional details on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 architecture. It will adopt a “2+6” core setup, which refers to a combination of high-performance and efficiency cores. The “2” likely represents a high-performance core, which is estimated to operate at clock speeds between 3.6 GHz to 4.0 GHz. However, details regarding the clock speeds of the remaining “6” efficiency cores are unknown.

For context, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC reportedly scored around 2,700 points in single-core and 10,000 points in multi-core tests on Geekbench 6.

Launch timeline and expected devices

In terms of launch timeline, DigitalChatStation suggests that the first smartphones with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip will hit the market in October. Earlier speculations pointed towards the Xiaomi 15 being the leading model, with the iQOO 13 and OnePlus 13 coming soon after. The anticipated unveiling of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is expected to take place during the company’s Snapdragon Summit, which is likely to be held in early October. More information about the chipset is expected to be revealed in the coming days.

As anticipation grows for the release of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, DigitalChatStation’s insight sheds light on its benchmark performance and architectural details. With the launch expected in October, smartphone enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the unveiling of devices powered by this next-generation SoC. Stay tuned for further developments in the coming days.
