The 8-core CPU cluster is said to be up to 44 percent more efficient than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and that’s thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Elite using TSMC’s 3nm ‘N3E’ architecture. Additionally, Qualcomm claims that the new SoC can achieve performance improvements of up to 45 percent in single-core and multi-core tests. As for the GPU, the Adreno 830 is 40 percent faster and 40 percent more power efficient than last year’s Adreno 750, and the company says that portable gaming sessions will last up to 2.5 hours longer.

Regarding the AI ​​capabilities of the device, the Snapdragon 8 Elite supports up to 70 tokens per second on certain AI models, but Android Authority was not informed about the size of these models.

Despite the chipset name change, Qualcomm’s Spectra ISP (Image Signal Processor), has been renamed AI ISP and delivers throughput of 4.3 gigapixels per second, up from 3.2 gigapixels per second on the previous chipset. 48MP + 48MP + 48MP multi-sensor support is present, along with 108MP single camera support at 30FPS, with stills enhanced to 320MP, up from the 200MP of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite’s video recording capabilities are limited to 4K 60FPS, while the Dimensity 9400’s is 8K 60FPS. However, it is unknown which phone makers are willing to add an 8K 60FPS option, as the camera overheats and overheats. Internal memory consumption may occur. Qualcomm has many phone partners like ASUS, HONOR, Iqoo, OnePlus, OPPO, Realme, Samsung, Vivo, and Xiaomi who will utilize Snapdragon 8 Elite in their flagship phones, so let’s look forward to the launch.
