Qualcomm has revealed that it will hold the next Snapdragon Summit 2024 event from October 21-23, 2024, in Maui, Hawaii
Now, the Snapdragon 8 gen 4 will be the first Qualcomm SoC to be based on a custom ARM instruction set with Nuvia core instead of ARM's cortex cores
Part Number: SM-8750
GPU: Adreno 8xx @ 1.15GHz
CPU:
2× Phoenix large @ 4.2GHz
6× Phoenix Medium @ 3.0GHz
Manufactured by TSMC on its 3nm process (N3B)
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 GPU upgrades would be MASSIVE!
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will utilize an upgraded GPU architecture with improved cache and memory compression technology.
The architecture is called “Slice GPU architecture” wherein the GPU is divided into multiple independent physical units called “slices.” Each slice has its own pipeline, cache, and memory.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 would also feature a new 'memory compression algorithm', for the first time since the release of Snapdragon 650 in 2016.
This new technology is called "dynamic wave pairing" & it was patented by Qualcomm in 2022.
Dynamic Wave Pairing will allow the GPU to distribute tasks more efficiently as it can assign workloads to different sections within itself, and then choose the most suitable one to handle that specific task.
Although the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 can reach 3100 in single-core on Geekbench, however, will power consumption will suck a lot & it might heat too.
Thus, many Chinese brands will incorporate 6,000mAh larger batteries in their smartphones to compensate for power consumption in the Qualcomm chip
