Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 can throw energy-saving cores – NapiDroid

According to a recent leak, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 may ditch the power-saving cores from the CPU lineup and debut with two high-performance cores and six medium cores. We are already familiar with this concept thanks to the MediaTek Dimensity 9300, it has its advantages, but unfortunately it is not without disadvantages either.

At this year’s Snapdragon Summit event, some details regarding the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 were confirmed, for example, the high-end chipset will be the first to use custom Oryon CPU cores. Digital Chat Stationthe well-known Weibo leaker who delivers really reliable information has somehow gained insight into the specifications of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, according to his claim that the chipset is the Sun is codenamed and will be manufactured using a 3-nanometer manufacturing process in TSMC’s workshops.

This is not a big statement in itself, but it is a bit steeper that the octa-core processor has two high-performance and six medium-performance Phoenix will be equipped with a core, and energy-efficient cores will be banished from the build. THE small CPU cores are usually energy-saving constructions that step forward when less resource-intensive tasks need to be performed, their work usually spares the battery. Abandoning them is quite an innovation, even if they have been gradually reduced in recent years in high-end Snapdragon chips.

The trend started with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, in which only three energy-efficient cores served in the CPU instead of four, and only two of these cores work inside the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. There could be several reasons behind the complete change, for example, the manufacturer may believe that the uniquely developed cores are as effective as the small cores used previously.

The MediaTek Dimensity 9300 already has a similar configuration, only performance-centric cores work in its processor, which provides serious computing power, but as our previous article also shows, this chipset cannot last long. With passive cooling – and most non-gaming smartphones have it – it takes about two minutes for MediaTek’s chipset to start to throttle its performance. Obviously, the manufacturer denies the authenticity of the tests, what else could they do? Of course, what MediaTek failed to do, Qualcomm can do, and the chip developed by them may not have problems with heating.
