The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be Qualcomm’s first smartphone SoC to be equipped with custom Oryon cores as the company looks to adopt the same configuration as Apple’s A-series family. From a performance perspective, we can expect it to be the best silicon the San Diego has ever released. The chipset’s capabilities were rumored to have been tested in an engineering sample with Genshin Impact running and for a chip that has yet to enter mass production, it delivers respectable performance.
Framerate details of Genshin Impact were not shared, but the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 could easily have maintained a 60FPS at the highest visual settings
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4’s initial performance run inside an engineering sample was posted on the South Korean internet forum DC Inside, with the image spotted by @faridofanani96. The machine translation states that the chipset upgrade is significant, as Genshin Impact ran for 45 minutes at a 1080p resolution without exhibiting any stability or performance issues. Since Genshin Impact is locked at 60FPS, the game likely ran at that framerate, delivering a smooth gameplay experience.

Since it is an engineering sample running the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, there is the possibility that the game can run at 60FPS at a higher resolution with additional tweaking. Earlier, we reported about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4’s Adreno 830 GPU performance, with the 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Stress Test score rumored to have been 10 percent faster than the Apple M2 results.
Even if it is a rumor, the fact that a smartphone SoC got the better of an Apple Silicon designed explicitly for larger form factor machines such as Macs is a sight to behold, but there is also the consideration of power consumption, which is a metric that was not mentioned when performing the test.
Overall, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 shows tremendous promise, but we will wait for the commercial shipments to come through to see how Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship SoC holds up against the competition. MediaTek is also preparing its 3nm champion, the Dimensity 9400, for an unveiling later in the year, so it will be exciting to see both clash with one another.

With Version 4.4 set for release on January 31, 2024, Genshin Impact has revealed the character teaser for the upcoming 5-Star Anemo Catalyst Xianyun. Though Version 4.4 is set to bring a new Lantern Rite event, Chenyu Vale, three alternate skins, and two playable characters to Genshin Impact, its community hasn't exactly been happy with the annual rewards provided by the game, especially when compared to the generosity shown by the team working on Honkai: Star Rail.
Genshin Impact has been review bombed and its official Douyin (TikTok) account has lost nearly 1m followers after the recent version 4.4 livestream announced that three only dollops of Intertwined Fate material will be gifted to players during the game's Lantern Rite event.
's seven elements are crucial parts of the game, and although each contributes to gameplay in its own way, there is a hierarchy to them. The seven multi-faceted elements affect numerous parts of the combat and exploration systems, and are some of the first things players should learn to master. Doing so unlocks new opportunities in combat and exploration, making much easier than it would be otherwise. While learning how each element works alone is essential, it is equally so to understand the reactions and interactions they share with each other.

It's shaping up to be a Geo-centered update on Genshin Impact in the near future, as both Albedo and Itto have been missing for over ten patches since their last banner appearance. Waiting lists for limited characters are a favorite in the Genshin Impact community, as it helps players chart their gacha journey by being mindful of the last time a 5-Star character had their rerun. While there is always a chance that an Event Banner in Genshin Impact receives an early rerun, as is the case with Yoimiya, HoYoverse tends to prioritize characters who haven't had a reappearance in recent versions.
The latest Special Preview Program for Genshin Impact has revealed an ambitious slate of new content coming in Version 4.4, which also includes skins for Ganyu, Shenhe, and Xingqiu, as well as confirming the event banners for Xianyun, Nahida, Xiao, and Yae Miko.

A new Genshin Impact leak suggests version 4.8 will add a limited-time map that is similar to Fontaine in terms of design. Since its initial launch, Genshin Impact has introduced three temporary locations, with the last one being version 3.8's Veluriyam Mirage, which featured a variety of content, including puzzles and quests. These event-exclusive destinations not only contributed to the game's ongoing story but also offered many treasure chests. Following the conclusion of events, they were permanently removed from the map of Teyvat.
Raising Bennett’s Constellation level to C6 in can be a bit controversial. The game by HoYoverse offers a wide roster of characters that can be made stronger through Constellation upgrades – these can be obtained when players get the same character from gacha banners or events after they have already unlocked the playable hero. Despite being a free-to-play character, the Mondstadtian is versatile and can be used as a healer, an elemental enabler, and even a sub-DPS for some. His set of skills is very particular, and no other characters match him. Bennett's usefulness even tends to surpass many of his 5-star counterparts.
