A recent leak has once again sparked excitement among technology enthusiasts, revealing a comprehensive breakdown of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4’s inner workings. While Qualcomm is poised to officially unveil its latest flagship System on Chip (SoC), we’re already getting a sneak peek into its layout and supported technologies thanks to an intriguing leak.
The newly revealed information indicates that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will come in two distinct variants – the SM8750 and the SM8750P. Notably, only the SM8750 model will support 5G mmWave and sub-6GHz bands, while the SM8750P will be a Wi-Fi-only version.
Contrary to initial rumors, this chipset won’t feature the anticipated upgrade to LPDDR6 RAM, sticking instead with the tried-and-true LPDDR5X standard. However, users can still look forward to UFS 4.0 for storage, promising impressive data transfer speeds of up to 4,500MB/s for reading and 4,000MB/s for writing. These figures suggest robust performance, albeit slightly behind the speeds achieved by the NVMe Gen 4 protocol.
On the visual front, the Adreno 830 GPU in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 seems ready to dazzle, capable of supporting display resolutions up to a crisp 3,840 x 2,560 at a smooth 144Hz refresh rate. This surpasses standard 4K resolution, although it is ultimately up to original equipment manufacturers to embrace such high-resolution displays.
Though the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 may share many foundational design aspects with its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, there is hope that the custom Oryon CPU cores will deliver substantial performance gains. Previous benchmark findings from the OnePlus 13 on Geekbench 6 hinted at potential improvements in both single-core and multi-core performance.
As these details continue to surface, tech fans eagerly anticipate how Qualcomm’s latest innovation will shape the landscape of mobile computing.
