Last year, Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 processor with excellent architecture and process technology in terms of performance and energy consumption control, and the flagship mobile phone equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 processor is still quite powerful, but Qualcomm seems to feel that the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 processor is not powerful enough, and hopes to launch the next generation of Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor based on the self-developed architecture as soon as possible, so the pace of launch is faster than in the past, and mobile phone manufacturers have also got Snapdragon 8 The news of the early announcement of the Gen4 processor has now begun to stop production of flagship phones built on the Snapdragon 8 Gen3.

Some digital bloggers revealed that some manufacturers plan to discontinue the current flagship mobile phones based on the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 processor, but to focus on the development of mobile phones based on the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor, after all, there is still less than half a year before the official release of the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor. It is expected that the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor will be officially released in October, and Android phones based on the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor will also be officially released in November.

The biggest feature of the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor is that the CPU architecture adopts the self-developed Nuvia Phoenix architecture, which has certain advantages over Arm's public architecture, such as in terms of energy consumption ratio, but according to the exposed performance chart, the Dimensity 9400 processor based on Arm Cortex-X5 has better performance.

In addition, the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor will also use TSMC's 3nm process technology, and Qualcomm hopes that this processor will reach a frequency of 4GHz, perhaps everyone is more worried about whether the Snapdragon processor can not heat up much at the 4GHz frequency. Now the competition between mobile phone and processor manufacturers is becoming more and more fierce, even Qualcomm has to make aggressive moves, and mobile phones including Xiaomi 15 and OPPO Find X8 will also use Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processors to get better traditional and AI performance.
