Galaxy S25 chipset to get faster clock speed in redesign

In April, Qualcomm reportedly finalized the design of its upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 application processor which should be introduced in October. However, after seeing Apple's upcoming M4 chip deliver record-setting single-core benchmark scores, the rumor mill says that Qualcomm has decided to redesign the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset by June, raising its targeted clock speed from 4GHz to 4.26GHz.

However, the design of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 AP will be based on the Snapdragon X Elite laptop processor which does not work with the ARMv9 instructions set. That means that Qualcomm's new flagship smartphone chip won't feature Scalable Matrix Extension which allows chips like Apple's M4 to handle complex tasks more efficiently and is one of the reasons why the M4 scored amazing Geekbench 6 single-core and multi-core scores of 3,767 and 14,677 respectively.

The chip's build not only makes the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 AP potentially a top-performer on smartphones, but it also could be a potential battery hog. It also means that phone manufacturers employing the chip will need to take precautions when it comes to heat dissipation. Larger vapor chambers could be used to draw heat away from the processor.

We will certainly learn more this October when the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is unveiled during October's Snapdragon Summit. The AP is expected to be used on U.S. versions of the Samsung Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+. It also should power the Galaxy S25 Ultra in all markets.
