According to Fast Technology on August 2, blogger Digital Chat Station revealed that Qualcomm's technical data mentioned that the power consumption of Snapdragon 8 Gen4 is lower than that of Snapdragon 8 Gen3. It can be confirmed that this is the most powerful mobile phone chip in the Android camp.

It is reported that Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen4 bid farewell to the Arm public version solution and adopted the self-developed Oryon CPU architecture, which was designed by the NUVIA team.


According to information, in January 2021, Qualcomm acquired NUVIA, a chip startup company founded in February 2019, for US$1.4 billion. Although the company was established not long ago, it has three former Apple generals, including former CPU chief architect Gerard Williams III, John Bruno, Manu Gulati, etc.

Apple's A7 to A14 processors are all developed by the team led by Williams. When he was at Arm in his early years, Williams also participated in the definition of the Corex-A series. Qualcomm's intention to acquire NUVIA is very clear, which is to increase its investment in the high-performance CPU field. This move will help Qualcomm defeat Apple in the Soc performance war.

The upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen4 is the masterpiece of the NUVIA team. It is reported that the CPU main frequency of Snapdragon 8 Gen4 has exceeded 4GHz, which is the 5G mobile phone chip with the highest main frequency in Qualcomm's history.

In addition, Snapdragon 8 Gen4 will be the first to adopt TSMC's second-generation 3nm process. This is the first 3nm mobile phone chip in the Android camp. The new product will be officially unveiled in October and is worth looking forward to.
