Emir BardakçıIn the ever-evolving world of smartphones, it is Xiaomi that is supposedly going to take the most vital leap with its upcoming Xiaomi 15, which is reportedly going to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor. Fortunately enough, recent leaks and benchmarks have emerged that give a very good idea of what we will get in this new powerhouse chipset. The results turned out to be nothing less than impressive.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Benchmark Scores Revealed
Result of never-ending Qualcomm innovation, the Geekbench score for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 has finally surfaced, and boy, those are some promising numbers. The processor, in its QRD form, has shown massive performance boosts over its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 scores single-core score of 2884 and the multi-core score of 8840.
It can be seen from the leaked information that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 QRD scores are higher than the single-core score of 2200 and the multi-core score of 7000 achieved by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the QRD phase, thus cleaning up big in performance boost—hence, much smoother, much more efficient performance for the Xiaomi 15.
Architectural Enhancements
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 CPU is configured as a powerful architecture, comprising:
- 2 high-performance cores clocking at 4.09 GHz
- 6 efficiency cores clocked at 2.78 GHz
This means that the new chipset will be faster and, more importantly, more power-efficient in the working and performance of a device to balance its performance with the battery life, which is one of the critical factors for a modern smartphone user.
Graphics and Manufacturing Process
On the graphics side, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 packs the Adreno 830 GPU. This improvement should bring more enhancements in terms of graphic rendering and gaming experience, and will definitely enhance visuals as a whole, given the upcoming resource-intensive mobile games and all other apps with heavyweight processing demands.
Not only that, but the chipset from TSMC will also come with an advanced 3nm process: with that kind of technology, transistor sizes will be reduced even further, translating into better efficiency and performance for the chipset. The 3nm process is considerably a step higher insofar that users can look forward to more than just faster phones but, in the same measure, more energy-efficient smartphones.
What It Means for Xiaomi 15
Enhancements like that will put the Xiaomi 15 the top in terms of performance for the future generation. It offers faster processing speeds, immaculate multi-tasking, and advanced game performance to users. Moreover, with improved power efficiency, battery life might be longer, thus pointing out a leading position in the premium segment smartphone for the Xiaomi 15.
Surprising results on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in the Geekbench performance foreshadow what the Xiaomi 15 has to offer. With class-leading CPU and GPU configs and an advanced 3nm manufacturing process, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is conceived to redefine smartphone performance. As Xiaomi gets ready to integrate this powerful chipset into their next flagship, Xiaomi 15 becomes one of the devices that will be worth looking at throughout the following months.
