Highlights Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 prioritizes energy efficiency over raw performance Adreno 750 GPU achieves performance similar to Dimensity 9300 at half the power Modest single-digit CPU performance increase compared to Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 TSMC's 3nm process promises cooler operation and improved battery life The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to feature Qualcomm's yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor. Set to be unveiled at the Snapdragon Summit this October, this new chip appears to prioritize energy efficiency over raw performance, particularly in its graphics processing unit (GPU). According to a recent leak, internal testing data reveals impressive results for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4's Adreno 750 GPU. The chip, manufactured using TSMC's advanced 3nm process, reportedly achieves performance levels similar to MediaTek's powerful Dimensity 9300 processor but at half the power consumption. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra to Feature Energy-Efficient Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Processor However, the news isn't all positive. The same leak suggests that the CPU performance of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 may only see a single-digit percentage increase compared to current-generation chips like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. This relatively modest CPU improvement has led some to suggest that performance-focused users might want to wait for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, expected to debut in 2025. Adreno 750 GPU achieves performance similar to Dimensity 9300 at half the power Despite the potentially underwhelming CPU gains, the move to TSMC's 3nm process from Samsung's 4nm node used in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 should provide inherent efficiency improvements across the entire chip. Looking further ahead, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, which could power the Galaxy S26 series in 2026, is rumored to feature custom Pegasus CPU cores in a 2 + 6 configuration (two high-performance cores and six efficiency cores). For potential Galaxy S25 Ultra buyers, the takeaway is clear: expect a device that emphasizes GPU efficiency and potentially longer battery life, rather than a significant leap in overall processing power.
