Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset in April 2025. In case you’re wondering why it is called Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, not Snapdragon 8s Elite, it is because the chip does not have Oryon cores. This is perhaps the second Qualcomm mobile chipset after the Snapdragon 8 Elite to come with all big CPU cores.
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is a sub-premium chipset that offers high-end performance while being lighter on the pocket. The Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 and 8s Gen 3 have been a hit from Qualcomm; therefore, we’re seeing more such chips from the brand. Here, we’ll look at the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 benchmark scores to see its raw performance.
Note: The following benchmark tests were conducted on the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro (powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4).
Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 AnTuTu score
| AnTuTu v10 | 2,050,881 |
| CPU | 460,339 |
| GPU | 852,942 |
| Memory | 410,236 |
| UX | 327,364 |
The overall AnTuTu score of Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is obviously lower than Snapdragon 8 Elite’s 2.8 million+, but it beats the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 posts an impressive AnTuTu score of 2.05 million, which is higher than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3’s 1.93 million score. That’s a 6% performance jump, which suggests Qualcomm is pushing the 8s series closer to flagship territory while keeping thermals and cost more manageable.
However, it’s still a fair distance behind the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which tops the chart with a massive 2.8 million score. That’s over 36% higher than the 8s Gen 4, showing just how much more performance Qualcomm is reserving for its true flagship silicon.
Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 Geekbench score
| Geekbench v6 | |
| Single core | 2,041 |
| Multi core | 6,833 |
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 puts up a solid fight in Geekbench 6, scoring 2,041 in single-core and 6,833 in multi-core tests. That’s just slightly behind the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which edges it out with 2185 single-core and 6735 multi-core. Interestingly, while the 8s Gen 4 falls a bit short in single-core performance, it actually outperforms the 8 Gen 3 in multi-core — albeit by a small margin — showing its strength in multitasking and parallel workloads.
Of course, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Elite stands in a league of its own. With a whopping 3056 single-core and 9702 multi-core scores, it completely eclipses both the 8 Gen 3 and 8s Gen 4. That’s over 49% higher in single-core and 42% higher in multi-core compared to the 8s Gen 4.
