The iPhone SE 4 will be Apple’s first low-cost offering to transition from an LCD to an OLED, matching the company’s other high-end devices, but buyers will have to muster up sufficient patience because this particular model is slated to launch sometime in 2025. Thankfully, the company will not have to fret over the display cost of the iPhone SE 4 since Samsung and BOE are reportedly fighting over orders.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Alleged Geekbench 6 Results Show A 46 Percent Multi-Core Lead Against Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Competes With Apple’s M3, Other SoCs

The performance rumors surrounding the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 indicated that Qualcomm’s first smartphone SoC boasting the company’s custom cores would be faster than Apple’s M2, but on the GPU side of things, and that too, in one benchmark. However, we now have what is allegedly the Geekbench 6 single-core and multi-core belonging to the same chipset, and not only do the scores show that it runs circles around the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, but its multi-threaded results compete with the M3. The AnTuTu results were also shared, so let us get into the details.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 also flaunts an impressive single-core score, duking it out with Apple’s latest M-series SoCs in this test
Coming to the Geekbench 6 results first, @negativeonehero shared on X that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 obtained a single-core and multi-core score of 2,845 and 10,628, respectively. Compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which scored 7,249 while running in the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is 46 percent faster in the multi-threaded test and significantly faster in the single-core results.
One of the reasons why the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 was allegedly able to obtain such a high score, despite its ‘2 + 6’ configuration, is because the SoC is rumored to sport just ‘Phoenix’ performance cores. It looks as if, like the Dimensity 9300, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will not sport any efficiency cores, which will boost its multi-core performance, but at the cost of power consumption.
Fortunately, the SoC is said to be mass produced on TSMC’s 3nm ‘N3E’, so the improved efficiency of this lithography could offset the adverse effects of using just performance cores as part of the CPU cluster. Compared to Apple’s M3, the latter is barely faster than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in both single-core and multi-core results, showing that Qualcomm’s decision to shift to a custom CPU design was the right move all along, even if it means phone makers have to pay a higher price than what the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 cost them.
These figures no doubt represent the best of Android smartphone chipsets, and seeing the performance gap finally bridged with Apple’s A-series means more competition in this space, but there are more than a few unanswered questions. For instance, the power consumption metrics were not provided, so even if the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 surpassed 10,000 points in Geekbench 6’s multi-core test, it is imperative to know what power draw did it achieve this figure.
Another thing that we spotted was that the AnTuTu result on the left mentions the codename ‘Lahaina,’ which is designated to the Snapdragon 888, whereas the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is identified by the codename ‘Pakala.’ Assuming no explanation is provided, we have to conclude that these scores are edited

Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Rumored To Feature Upgraded ‘Pegasus’ Cores, But May Maintain Same CPU Cluster As Snapdragon 8 Gen 4
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 launch is yet to start, and we have already started stumbling across Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 rumors. Earlier, we reported that Qualcomm requested TSMC and Samsung for their 2nm chip samples, presumably for vetting purposes to see if one or both can be a fit for future cutting-edge chipset orders. Now, we have learned that while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 may share the same CPU cluster, the latter is said to feature new ‘Pegasus’ CPU cores.
