As we get closer to the October launch of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, more details about the processor are starting to come out. A leaked datasheet earlier this week revealed some key information about the SoC. Now, another leak from the usually reliable tipster, Ice Universe, shares details about the GPU.
According to the tipster, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will feature the Adreno 830 GPU which is currently being tested at a clock frequency of 1,250MHz (or 1.25GHz).
While this number may seem low compared to the 4GHz speed Qualcomm has reportedly achieved with the 8 Gen 4’s Oryon CPU, it’s important to note that GPUs in mobile processors typically have lower clock speeds than CPUs.
To put this in perspective, the Adreno 750 in the 8 Gen 3 operates at 903MHz for the standard variant and 1,000MHz for the performance-focused “for Galaxy” or “Leading” versions.
A leaked AnTuTu benchmark for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 shows a GPU score of 1,330. That’s a significant increase over the top Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 score currently on AnTuTu, which stands at 896,416 points.
However, be sure to take these details with a grain of salt. The tipster notes in the comments that the 1,250MHz speed was achieved with an engineering sample of the 8 Gen 4 and the final version of the SoC might have different GPU speeds.
Moreover, the leaked datasheet reveals the SoC will be manufactured on a 3nm processor, supports dual-channel package-on-package (PoP) high-speed LPDDR5X SDRAM, and has a Qualcomm Spectra ISP 8-series image processor.
The connectivity option includes 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and ultra-wideband (UWB) support. For AI and security features, the SoC is said to feature a Low-Power AI (LPAI) subsystem with a dedicated DSP and AI accelerator which will enable continuous on-device AI processing without compromising battery life.
