We will still have to wait a few months before Qualcomm introduces the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 The SoC that will power a large portion of next year’s high-end smartphones, including all models of the Samsung Galaxy S25 family, as the Korean tech company seems to have had performance issues in the production of the Exynos 2500. , which was originally the SoC planned for several models of this future generation.

Although we expect an official announcement of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in the fall, probably in October, leaks were already ahead of us some of what we can expect from this integrated device, and once again Qualcomm seems to be making it very difficult for other manufacturers if they are going to compete in the performance of what is for many and generation after generation the best SoC on the market.

However, not everything is rumors and leaks. Also, and as surprising as it may be, Qualcomm already announced a very interesting fact about its future SoC generation when it just unveiled the current one, in October of last year when it revealed that it would use Oryon cores in Snapdragon. 8 Gen 4 SoC (although it was later revealed that it would actually be a Phoenix). And this has raised many doubts about what its maximum performance will be, which some say at 4.3 gigahertz.

Now, and I always remember this, brute force isn’t everything, in many cases specialization can deliver better results, and it seems Qualcomm hasn’t forgotten that point. So as we read in NoteBookCheck, Adreno 830 GPU of Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will offer image generation using artificial intelligence. As you already know, this technology has gained a lot of presence in the computer world since NVIDIA introduced DLSS 3 and AMD and Intel responded with FSR Fluid Motion Frames and XeSS ExtraSS.

Now there is very good news for users of devices that integrate the current generation of Qualcomm SoCs, and that is that the same source states that The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and 8s Gen 3 could also get this feature via an updatealthough of course in this case it will be necessary for the assemblers of said devices to release an update that brings this feature to their users.

With the proliferation of gaming smartphones and the rebirth of portable gaming consoles, the arrival of image generation technology in Qualcomm’s high-end SoCs undoubtedly represents most interesting progress for this user profile which strives for a very high frame rate for a smoother gaming experience.
