Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 to Feature Enhanced Adreno 830 GPU

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 4: A Leap in Mobile Gaming Performance

Renowned Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station recently took to Weibo claiming that Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 (the chipset expected to power the Galaxy S25 series in some or all markets) will feature an improved Adreno 830 GPU with support for frame interpolation technology. In simpler words, the chip can use AI to boost frame rates in graphic-intense games. It helps make the gameplay smoother as long as developers support the technology in their games.

The tipster says the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 can run Genshin Impact at 1080p resolution and 120fps (frames per second) frame rate. If true, we are in for a massive improvement in frame rate. The Galaxy S24’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 tops out at 60fps in maxed-out Genshin Impact graphics settings. This is huge for a smartphone chip. Frame interpolation is a relatively new technology limited to AMD and Nvidia’s latest PC GPUs. Their solutions are respectively named FSR and DLSS.

The trick is to artificially insert frames between existing frames, making graphics look smoother than they actually are. The technology may occasionally cause input lag and visual artifacts like blurring, but it certainly makes the gameplay smoother. As said earlier, developers must adopt frame interpolation for the feature to work on their games. However, the potential is huge if implemented correctly. We may see AAA PC/console-level games run smoothly on Android flagships.

The New Snapdragon Arrives in October, Possibly with a Higher Price Tag

Qualcomm will unveil the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in October. Rumors say the new chip will be up to 30% costlier than its predecessor, costing as much as $0. This may make the next batch of Android flagships more expensive. Interestingly, the source says a firmware update could bring AI upscaling to Android phones powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. That certainly won’t happen before the Gen 4 arrives. Expect more leaks about the next-gen Qualcomm processor in the coming months.

What happens on birthday genshin impact?

On your birthday in Genshin Impact, you receive a special in-game mail from Paimon. This mail contains a 'Cake for Traveler' which, when used, converts into Fragile Resin (an item used to replenish Original Resin). Additionally, the Cake remains as a commemorative item. Your in-game chat icon also gets a birthday cake symbol beside it, adding a festive touch to your interactions.

What happens if you wish on your birthday genshin impact?

Wishing on your birthday in Genshin Impact doesn't provide any additional benefits or bonuses. The wish system operates the same way as on any other day, and there are no special boosts or increased probabilities for obtaining characters or weapons on your birthday. The birthday event is mainly a celebratory feature rather than one that influences the gacha mechanics.
