Snapdragon 8 Elite FEATURES: Putting Qualcomm's BIG claims to the TEST!

[@rohanb2711]

Still not a single creator has covered anything about battery life or efficiency, which is one of the most important things that customers look for.

[@florenciomigueljuan3679]

They can't cover it at the moment since majority of what is known so far are the benchmarks and performance of the chipset. Since battery and efficiencies are dependent on how the manufacturers optimize their devices to either be either efficient or powerful.

[@Garrettdx1988]

Can't test it until they get devices of their own

[@superior96]

Same thing with the Dimensity 9400 phones... I've been searching battery tests for days, maybe weeks and nothing so far, it's all about the cameras *facepalm*

[@awaisahmed9418]

​@@superior96 everyone is under embargo and no device's are ready for proper testing and personal use. You gotta wait till OEM start releasing the phones powered by Elite Chipsets.

[@RiqMoran]

uhm, it's public knowledge. Qualcomm cites 45% performance increases and 45% efficiency increases. the two go hand in hand.

[@fukaraca]

Qualcomm is not responsible from software at all. They just created some demos to prove it is promising. At least i would be surprised if snapdragon would offer such softwares.

[@HugoParedes]

As someone who has done many, many software demos, you can make them look awesome, but when it’s time to implement them… not always possible.

[@TamasKiss-yk4st]

But they have money to rent a pro app maker to help them if they can't solve it.. because they are not software company it's not an excuse to make a crappy demo..

[@fukaraca]

@@TamasKiss-yk4st it is a crappy demo

[@SPISheste]

Upscaling to 4K = "the lighting looks really good", bro are you good? Maybe talk about textures instead, since lighting effects really doesn't scale with resolution

[@enjimusic90]

Does 4k even make sense one a 6 inch display?

[@ayaloza05]

It does though

[@MoHaMMaDMi-el1uy]

Exactly, they're just taking the placebo effect...like my guy is your screen even 4k so you can notice it???

[@aleksdeveloper698]

@@enjimusic90 It doesn't.

[@menacegaming8212]

4k ain't shit on a phone, pixel density is too high. 1080 p already looks great. Maybe 1440p is slightly reasonable as well

[@sbrader97]

They aren't a software company thats upto the oems to better implement these types of ai feature these are just basic tech demos it remains to be seen if Samsung will make better use of it the issues with it probably aren't a hardware problem being too weak npu or something I think its just the software is a basic demo and not fully fleshed out

[@TamasKiss-yk4st]

Well, they have the money to rent a better team to make a better demo.. this excuse is not acceptable, who cares if they are not a software company..? This is the demo what should convience the manufacturers "Wow, we want this"...

[@jaffar1234]

The software in the demos is bad not the NPU itself, We don't know yet how Samsung and other companies AI software will look like on Snapdragon 8 Elite

[@lesleyhaan116]

You mean Googles Ai that’s built into android

[@antdbat]

To be fair, you should have talked about the chip itself. The AI demos are just potential use cases that are better implemented or executed by their customers.

[@astayuno740]

The power efficiency on 8 elite preety good improvement as it as uses less power to run apps as many china reviewers has already review it

[@andrewcairnsmrkiplin]

AI AI AI AI give me better battery and gaming performance

[@DavyJeremy1]

Have you seen the benchmarks, Iknow benchmarks Arent everything but those numbers say enough about performance

[@donelfabrigar4012]

Its obvious a power hunger Chip set as far as I can see, the new standard battery size is mininum of 6kmah in able to sustain the longevity battery life...

[@ramdanrivanto8855]

More like bring AAA game like god of war or alan wake 2

[@brendanfogel4573]

​@donelfabrigar4012 they already said its 44% less power consumption so you can definitely expect a decent jump in battery life

[@earncrypto5601]

What are you complaining about ? Battery and gaming performance are already great on previous gen (SD 8 gen 3). It only can be better on that new Oryon chip

[@leebeeskee]

I GUARANTEE that if the demo in point number one had been nothing but 1080p with no upscaling but you were told it was, you wouldn't have had a clue about it!

[@theorphanobliterator]

yeah fr, 4k and 1080p look basically the same on a screen that small

[@Unknown-ub3sz]

For the sake of android, please test the windows emulators , run some games like gtav and others, snapdragon 8 gen 3 already runs most of the AAA titles easily. It would be great too see putting the sd elite performance to test❤

[@kirby21-xz4rx]

Advance emulation like windows for AAA games for phones is terrible, way to much heat to the point you will burn yourself and battery drain as it's not native

[@theorphanobliterator]

​@@kirby21-xz4rxno lol a tiny 14$ thermoelectric cooler can keep even a snapdragon 8 gen 3 cool playing winlator

[@kirby21-xz4rx]

@@theorphanobliterator nvm lol 🤣

[@TamasKiss-yk4st]

But that is not a compliment, if it can emulate a 11 years old game.. the technology rapidly increased, and the phone itself have more performance like the PS3, but still only can run PS3 games...

[@brendanfogel4573]

​@kirby21-xz4rx yeah you better off using geforce now. I wouldn't risk my hardware to play gta 5

[@Wildcatchigga11]

Not a single developer will give a shit to this and to me it looks like how or miss. Instead of refining the processor or to polish the existing feature that works made more sense. It just feels like mah.

[@theorphanobliterator]

the raw performance is quite good, and a significant improvement over last gen

[@travismayes23]

Great video once again. love your guys's KZbin channel

[@KennyVo120]

Patiently waiting real world use tests. Dont care too much about the NPU improvements for AI, more interested in how the new chip handles thermals and efficiency. We have peaked in terms of performance already.

[@flamesword300]

AI up scaling coming to mobile is awesome and glad to see Qualcomm is tying to get developers to utilize it. AI up scaling,frame generation,& frame interpolation are what I’m most excited by when it comes to AI in smartphones. Wish we got to see a demo showcasing the increasing of a games frame rate using those technologies.

[@aizen_yadava]

dawg what even worked

[@oatsyentertainment]

Everything a Ai 🤣🤣

[@kubotite9168]

you see they only show proof of concept..its up to android oem how to implement their own software to it

[@superior96]

That was really a whole lot of gimmicks for a single presentation. Qualcomm outdoing themselves. I just hope the new design without small cores brings efficiency up like it did for Mediatek with the 9300.

[@Day100]

Any info on the heat issues? It sounds like the processors can run really hot

[@MrRjhyt]

A great leap forward, but I'm not abandoning my S23 Ultra for this. Whatever is about in 3-5 years will feel like a real step up, then!

[@ChodaBoyUSA]

Not a single demo is applicable to me or my needs. I am glad they are improving their chips, but I'll keep my current device.

[@basharjirjees8815]

diminishing returns

[@andyH_England]

Back in the day performance differences between chips was important because of some of them being disappointing notably Samsung made chips. But for the last couple of years performance has peaked and I don't think many of us will ever want for anything more. So I am more interested in efficiency. Are these performance upgrades meaning the same task can be done with less wattage? We will wait to see from real reviews rather than marketing spiel from QUALCOMM.

[@hopsonyt8262]

First thing I expected is comparison in real games again iPhone 16

[@akashvt7951]

Qualcomms AI is much simpler form of Machine Learning algorithm.. which is a really good thing.. less complex processing

[@ramdanrivanto8855]

The problem on android gaming is game library, no matter what your powerful devices as long as the game is not update it still sucks. What is the most demanding gpu on android game? Genshin, star rail, honkai impact that even mid range device can run that. Why dont you bring console games to android with that such powerful chipset? Such re4 remake, god of war, assasins creed, etc.

[@kjeldkaj]

Qualcomm always come with big claims and end up failing. Think about the Snapdragon X elite for instance! Not at all the "M-chip killer" it was promised to be

[@nintendork07]

gonna be honest, i don't care about ANY of this stuff lol. i care about performance, efficiency and battery life from an SOC. the phone manufacturer will handle the superfluous AI features

[@donelfabrigar4012]

Wait for the leading brand to implement the said feature.. i think the demo phone is just a teaser for the leading brand to perfect.. the 8 elite is too powerful not polish the said feature..

[@theorphanobliterator]

i could give a crap about the ai,i just care about boosted performance and boosted efficiency

[@earncrypto5601]

Boosted performance and efficiency is what you always see each year though. - 2025 CPU will be better than 2026 in performance and efficiency - 2026 better than 2025 and so on AI is the future.

[@B.D.TRX4]

Thats great and all , about the AI. Until the people that actually make the software want to charge monthly for it.

[@mikeachoy]

Not seeing anything on demo worthy of the "elite" name...

[@DavorBertovic]

So practically they didn't show anything that actually worked and that a normal person would use

[@CorazónAtómicoDelaVíaLáctea]

Yes, overhyped like every year. Qualcomm comes out claiming gigantic gains, only to be the same overheating mess year after year. They think that by using "AI" in front of every feature that existed before AI makes it sound cooler.

[@SkyserAspili]

samsung fits better on Snapdragon than anyone else

[@astenxxx8930]

I like too se test on Winlator emulator for AAA games !!!

[@marino6081]

Who cares about CPU, GPU is that matters I want Dimenisty 9400 with Nvidia

[@XieRH1988]

Stopped watching the video after around the 3rd or 4th mention of the word AI. Im giving it a down vote just purely out of that.

[@MDEmtiazHasanParvez]

waiting for Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 , because Snapdragon 8 Elite now old model, SD now working on Snapdragon 8 Elite 2.

[@lutfilhaziq]

Then later on, wait for 8 elite 3 when elite 2 came out lmao 🤣

[@TamasKiss-yk4st]

And they will lose their license to ARM and not even the SD 8 Elite will come to the market in a noticeable amount.. 😂 they are only have about 45 days to solve the disaster what they did, or ARM will ban then fron ARM chips..

[@THT-777]

AI DRAGON AI 8 AI AILITE AI AI AI SO AI😂

[@johnboona4048]

lol gaming on a phone just play it on pc or buy an ipad cause apps on ios are more optimized it's always gonna run better than an android 😅

[@mozzalerra]

AI, AI, AI…

[@Angelo930]

Google is still the best when it comes to AI. Honestly, from everything I've seen and heard from this video i strongly believe that the tensor g3 in the pixel 8 series does AI better than the SD 8 elite

[@theorphanobliterator]

yeah but the tensor g3 is sorry at literally everything else

[@jbl-biagio]

😮

[@kevinkev1530]

.......

[@DrMeetPatel]

How much raw performance is enough for mobile device? Unnecessarily packing raw power ain't even useful for current generations devices. Since phones are crossing upwards of 1000$ regularly, it's better to draw a line and make some useful upgrades while maintaining costs.

[@theorphanobliterator]

it's never enough. this chip has damn near the same tdp as last gen, with 40% better performance across the board. its a win imo.

[@earncrypto5601]

Smartphones games and other scenario (video rendering, 3D apps) require that raw power. Maybe you don't but many people do.

Too much work is going into AI features, which most people won't even use Android got Gemini live for free and its really cool but I barely use it

[@arcaine101]

Because smartphones have hit a plateau. AI is just marketing salad. Aint nothing intelligent about magic eraser and live translator. By that logic, ltpo screens are AI.
