Rumors suggest that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4's performance cores could reach 4.30GHz, potentially matching the Snapdragon X Elite, but there are doubts about the feasibility of sustaining such high clock speeds in a smartphone's compact space. Reports also mention a single-core power consumption of 10W, which may need to be reduced to manage thermals. While it's possible that the chipset is being tested at these frequencies, practical limitations in smartphone design and cost considerations may lead to downclocking in actual devices.
