A new leak has now outed benchmark results for what is claimed to be the two next-gen mainstream Android flagship chipsets, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and Dimensity 9400. Both chipsets seemingly crush their predecessors on Geekbench and AnTuTu, posting numbers that would indicate around a 50% performance upgrade across CPU and GPU.
While the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is just a couple of months old, Qualcomm looks to already be tinkering with its successor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. New leaks have surfaced about the next-gen flagship chipset, with the most recent one now seemingly showcasing the bonkers performance of the SoC, along with that of what will be its closest rival, the MediaTek Dimensity 9400.
As revealed by Nguyen Phi Hung, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 seems to crush the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 across the board. A Geekbench listing shows the chipset with a single-core score of 2,845 and a multi-core score of 10,628. Comparatively, on our database, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 scores an average of 2,255 and 7,110 respectively on the single-core and multi-core tests.
It’s a similar case on AnTuTu as well, where the listing shows a total score of 313,3570. Of more importance, however, are the individual CPU and GPU scores—at 702,689 and an earth-shattering 1,330,057 respectively. The most powerful phone on AnTuTu’s leaderboard, the OnePlus 12, only scores 493,187 and 887,620 on those two tests. If these figures are accurate, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 could be up to 50% more powerful than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in both CPU and GPU.
As for the Dimensity 9400, it seemingly does even better than the Snapdragon Gen 4, with a single-core score of 2,776 and a multi-core score of 11,739 on Geekbench. On AnTuTu, it’s listed with a CPU score of 786,574 and a GPU score of 1,422,243.
While those numbers make for impressive reading, we wouldn’t put any stock in this. At best, these benchmark results were run on engineering devices with the cores at unknown, untenable clock speeds. At worst, they may flat-out be bogus.

I like tech, simple as. Half the time, you can catch me writing snarky sales copy. The rest of the time, I’m either keeping readers abreast with the latest happenings in the mobile tech world or watching football. I worked as both a journo and freelance content writer for a couple of years before joining the Notebookcheck team in 2017.
