The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will likely launch later this year, so it is unsurprising to hear about its GPU and CPU clock speed details come forth again. However, some bits and pieces of its successor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, have leaked out, revealing which manufacturing process Qualcomm will switch to a year from now when it unveils its first-ever smartphone SoC with its custom Oryon cores.
Details of both Qualcomm chipsets were shared by none other than Revegnus on Twitter. While we have covered a comprehensive report of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, talking about the San Diego chipmaker’s attempt to bring titanium cores and 64-bit-only support for the first time, we did not touch on the SoC’s GPU clock speed. However, we did find out that it will be named Adreno 750 and will eventually succeed the Adreno 740.
Fortunately, Revegnus was kind enough to share the GPU clock speed information on Twitter, stating that the Adreno 750 GPU will run at 900MHz, with the Cortex-X4 CPU running at 3.40GHz. However, a separate rumor claimed the same super core’s frequency would be 3.70GHz instead of 3.40GHz, so that may be an upgrade exclusive to Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series. Coming to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, the tipster states that it will be mass produced on TSMC’s N3E process.

For those that do not know, N3E is the improved 3nm process belonging to the Taiwanese giant, bringing enhancements to performance and power efficiency compared to the N3, or TSMC’s first 3nm iteration. Revegnus already shared this part in a previous tweet, and as an added bonus, we also reported on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4’s potential multi-core
