Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is the next exciting chip in the smartphone market and it is expected to be used in the Galaxy S25 Ultra. This chip is expected to bring Qualcomm's custom CPU cores, named Oryon, that offer a massive performance boost.

A new leak reveals the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 specifications, helping us understand what to expect from the Galaxy S25 Ultra's performance. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 specifications include Oryon CPU cores and the Adreno 8 GPU. Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 can come in two slightly different variants: SM8750 (Standard) and SM8750P (Performance).

SmartPrix has published a slide revealing some of the features and specifications of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. The chip uses a 3nm process (probably from TSMC). It is said to have an octa-core CPU with two high-performance cores running at 4GHz and six power-saving cores running at 2.8GHz.

Recent reports revealed that the new chip should offer 35% faster performance in single-core tests and 30% faster performance in multi-core tests. The chip also has the Adreno 830 GPU, which could be Qualcomm's fastest GPU ever.

Qualcomm's upcoming flagship chip has the new Spectra 8 series image signal processor (ISP) to handle the cameras. Qualcomm claims the new ISP offers "ultimate photography and videography experiences." The Adreno 8 series VPU offers 4K video decoding and encoding. The Adreno DPU inside the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 supports a 4K resolution display on the device and on an external display.

The Low-Power AI subsystem inside Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 has a dedicated DSP and eNPU for always-on audio, cameras, sensors and contextual data streams for advanced functions. The NPU also offers AI and Generative AI processing. Qualcomm's new chip also has a built-in 5G modem that supports mmWave and sub-6GHz 5G networks. The chip also has Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4 and UWB. It is compatible with on-package LPDDR5X DRAM and UFS 4.0 storage.

Thanks to the Qualcomm Aqstic system, high quality wireless audio is available. The story continues after the video. Galaxy S25 Ultra Performance Expectations Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is likely to be used in the Galaxy S25 Ultra globally, just as Samsung chose the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 to power the Galaxy S24 Ultra globally.

The chip can be paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 256GB/512GB/1TB of storage. It should offer 30-35% faster CPU performance, while the GPU should also offer significant performance upgrades and support AI-powered frame generation in games for higher frame rates. The Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ can use Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in China, Canada and the US.

In other countries, these phones may have the Exynos 2500 chipset, which Samsung officially named a few weeks ago. It is a 3nm chip manufactured by Samsung Foundry. It is also expected to bring significant performance and power efficiency improvements.”
