The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 appears on Geekbench

Now, we have first Geekbench results from what appears to be a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 device. The tested ended on 8,840 points in the multi-core scenario and 2,884 points in the single-core run. We don't know about GPU performance just yet, but the CPU jump from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is almost 30% in the multi-core test and up 35% in the single-core case. We used the Xiaomi 14 as a reference, which scored 6,810 points in multi-core and 2,125 points in single-core.

And there's a chance the performance gains with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 might be even more substantial because early benchmark tests are often done on pre-production samples that still need some polishing.

Word on the street is Qualcomm uses in-house Nuvia CPU architecture for its CPU clusters and the configuration is 2+6. The main cluster of two cores is clocked at a whopping 4.09 GHz, while the more efficient cluster of six is clocked at 2.78 GHz. The GPU is Adreno 830 and the whole chip is fabricated on TSMC's 3nm process.
