hello. This is Technologytodaynow. In this post, we’d like to update you on the latest news regarding the Snapdragon 8 4th Gen chipset that will power the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Snapdragon 8 4th Gen Chipset Geekbench 6 Benchmark Records Leaked
The first Geekbench 6 benchmark record for the Snapdragon 8 4th generation chipset, which is expected to power the Galaxy S25 Ultra, has been released. According to WCCF Tech, a US-based IT publication, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 scored over 10,000 points in the Geekbench 6 benchmark, putting it more than 46% ahead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Performance of the Snapdragon 8 4th Gen Chipset
With a score of 2,884 single-core and 8,848 multi-core, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset scored lower than the 3,200 single-core and 10,500 multi-core scores predicted in previous rumors.
This is likely due to the clock speed of 4.09 GHz, which is lower than previous rumors.
What to Expect from the Snapdragon 8 4th Gen Chipset
China’s Weibo reports that production models will be even better, with the Snapdragon 8 4th Gen chipset expected to easily beat the performance of Dimensity’s new flagship chipset, the Dimensity 9,400, andthe A18 in the iPhone 16 lineup. However, with the higher clock, issues such as power consumption, heat, and battery life will be key.
The importance of Snapdragon 8 4th generation chipset performance ratio
If it has a better power-to-weight ratio than the Snapdragon 8 third-generation chipset, that won’t be a problem, but if not, it could be, especially with the 5,000mAh battery capacity that will be identical to the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The latest confirmation is that it will have the same battery as the S24 Ultra, so it’s possible that battery life will be slightly worse than the S24 Ultra.
Need for proper performance adjustment
Benchmark records don’t tell the whole story, so it’s better to have a modest performance tuning that takes into account the power ratio rather than a huge performance boost. This will help you deliver optimal performance and efficiency for your users.
We’ve seen the first benchmark records for the Snapdragon 8 4th Gen chipset. While there is still a long way to go before the chipset is released, we look forward to seeing better performance in production models in the future, and hope that we can optimize performance tuning for the best possible experience for our users.
