FPSVersusSnapdragon 8s Gen 3 vs Snapdragon 8s Gen 4
Performance score
Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is 14% faster than Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 by our estimate.
The score is our own estimate from the specs (cores, threads, clocks, architecture generation), not a benchmark run. 100 = the fastest CPU in our database. A phone without a fan drops its clocks under long load, so in long tasks (hours of gaming, video) it will be slower than the number shows.
