Snapdragon 8 Gen 4: Leak touts Apple A18 Pro-crushing performance for next-gen Qualcomm chipset

[Redaktion]

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will power most next-gen Android flagship phones and a new, likely bogus, leak now claims the chipset could finally deliver performance supremacy across the board over Apple's upcoming A18 Pro.

Actually these clock speed numbers are rarely reached ,and they're not sustained for long,from my observations minutes.what matters is if they're able to pull lesser power draw at sustained levels.

Even at x86 architecture, 1.3v is quite hot, reaching ±70°C on cinebech or geekbench, with adequate cooling.. imagine 1.3v on small arm's architecture.. that would be impossible to maintain those clock speed.. no matter how efficient arm's architecture is

Yes I'm sure people will enjoy those 3 seconds of max performance before massive throttling ruins their day. Qualcomm certainly has a lot of fanboys in the media. SD 8 Gen 3 is garbage using a massive 17.3W peak power and SD 8 Gen 4 will hit 4GHz and probably use 22W+. We are basically at U series x86 mobile power levels in a phone. Power we don't need at all. This SoC now only makes sense in a large tablet.

So the article says it's for sure bogus, yet they still carry it. That's.. Conflicted. They don't want to be trashy, but can't resist.

Funny how they need to beat Apple every time. But, I thought that Apple sucks?

From where you're getting those numbers? 8 gen 4 will consuming just 8w according to the report. Do some research
