Tipster claims Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 won\'t see impressive CPU performance improvement over its predecessor

Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be powering the next-gen flagships, including the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. This new flagship chipset is set to be announced at the Snapdragon Summit, which will take place from October 21 to 23 in Maui, Hawaii.

While the company has yet to reveal details about its next-gen flagship SoC, a tipster on X says that the internal testing data of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 doesn't point to a big CPU performance jump. It is said to be within a "single-digit percentage" compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

The good part is that the leaker says that the GPU will see a "huge" improvement. @negativeonehero, the tipster on X, even adds that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 can offer the same level of GPU performance as the Dimensity 9300 at half the power of the MediaTek SoC.

This would be great news for mobile gamers, but if the info coming from this tipster is correct, those who prioritize CPU performance more might be better off skipping the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and waiting for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 instead. That SoC will launch in 2026 and is expected to feature custom Pegasus CPU cores.

Looking at the internal testing data of 8G4, the CPU efficiency improvement is in the single digit percentage, but the GPU improvement is huge, D9300 peak at half the power is possible. If you care about CPU performance, please skip this generation and wait for 8G5. pic.twitter.com/6Le8FlN0M9
