Qualcomm\u2019s in-house Oryon CPU cores will soon make their debut on the smartphone market. A leaked page from a datasheet reveals that there are two models on the way \u2013 SM8750 and SM8750P. The \u201cP\u201d presumably stands for \u201cPerformance\u201d and might be similar to the \u201cAC\u201d variants we\u2019ve seen with previous Snapdragon chips.<\/p>\n
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is built on a 3nm node (down from 4nm, should be a TSMC node<\/a> again). The CPU will be in a 2+6 configuration as seen in this Geekbench test<\/a>, but it\u2019s not clear whether that\u2019s eight Oryon cores or just two Oryon plus six Cortex cores.<\/p>\n Unlike the Snapdragon X chips, which target laptops, the 8 Gen 4 has to fit within the thermal and power limits of a pocketable device. Whatever the configuration, the Gen 4 chip beats the Gen 3 by 35% in single-core and by 30% in multi-core tests (and that\u2019s just in an early Geekbench run, there might be room for improvement).<\/p>\n Anyway, the slide also promises a new Qualcomm Adreno 8-series GPU with improvements in performance<\/a> and efficiency compared to the 7-series. Additionally, the chip will support quad-channel LPDDR5X RAM.<\/p>\n The \u201cLow-Power AI\u201d (LPAI) subsystem is interesting \u2013 it\u2019s intended for always-on uses including audio, camera and sensor tracking. There\u2019s going to be a beefy NPU for when the device is active, of course.<\/p>\n The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will support mmWave and sub-6GHz 5G (Rel. 17), Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), Bluetooth 5.4 and UWB (FastConnect 7900<\/a>).<\/p>\n Multiple brands are building flagships with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, but Xiaomi allegedly has dibs<\/a> on being the first to launch a phone with the new chip. This should be the Xiaomi 15 series<\/a>, which might be unveiled in October<\/a>, shortly after the 8 Gen 4 chipset itself (which has been officially scheduled for an October launch<\/a>).<\/p>\n![\"Leaked](\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/08\/snapdragon-8-gen-4-leaked-slide\/inline\/-1200\/gsmarena_001.jpg\")
