Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 peak clock speed is 25% higher than the Dimensity 9400

Recent leaks suggest that Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor might be packing a more powerful punch than initially anticipated. Renowned tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed that the chip’s prime core could reach clock speeds as high as 4.37 GHz, surpassing the previously confirmed 4.09 GHz.

If true, this higher clock speed would put the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in a more competitive position against Apple’s A18 Pro, which is rumored to have a max clock speed of 4.45 GHz. However, while clock speed is a headline-grabbing metric, it’s not the sole indicator of performance.

In fact, several reports suggest that MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400, despite its lower peak clock speed of 3.66 GHz, could outperform the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 thanks to ARM’s new Cortex-X925 core. Digital Chat Station even claimed that the 9400 surpasses both Apple and Qualcomm in IPC performance, with its Cortex-X5 core outpacing Qualcomm’s Nuvia CPU cores and Apple’s A17 Pro.

Qualcomm is also expected to introduce unique features with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. For example, it may include a DLSS Frame Gen-like feature for its Adreno 760 GPU, which could significantly enhance gaming performance through intelligent image upscaling.

Ultimately, the true performance of these chips will depend on factors beyond just clock speed. Architecture, power efficiency, and software optimization will all play crucial roles in determining their real-world capabilities. We’ll have to wait for official benchmarks and device launches to see how the latest SoCs from Qualcomm and MediaTek stack up against each other. However, this leak suggests that the battle for mobile supremacy is far from over, and Qualcomm may have a few surprises in store.
