Oppo‘s Find X7 series only just launched in China, but rumors about the upcoming Find X8 line are already starting to surface. The latest suggests a complete shift away from Qualcomm processors, with both models in the Find X8 lineup supposedly powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 chipset.

The information comes from Weibo tipster Smart Pikachu, who claims both models of the Find X8 will sport the Dimensity 9400 chipset. While the tipster didn’t name specific models, considering the Find X7 series has base X7 and high-end X7 Ultra, it’s likely Smart Pikachu is referring to the Find X8 and X8 Ultra. 

However, the speculation contradicts a previous leak from the more established Digital Chat Station (DCS). While the tipster didn’t share SoC details, DCS hinted at three models for the Find X8 series, possibly the Find X8, X8 Pro, and X8 Ultra.

These conflicting reports show the uncertainty surrounding the Find X8 phones at the moment. With a launch likely several months away, details can still change significantly.

Regardless of the processor choice, the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will bring impressive performance. 

DCS even claimed the Dimensity 9400 might surpass the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and Apple’s A17 Pro in terms of instructions per clock (IPC).

Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is expected to use in-house Oryon CPU cores for substantial performance gains. 

Oppo could opt for either chipset to ensure top-tier performance in its flagships, but the final decision remains unclear. We’ll be sure to keep you in loop as more details about the Find X8 series surfaces.
