• A leaker has revealed apparent pricing for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and Dimensity 9400 flagship processors.
• Both chips are said to be roughly 20% more expensive than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Dimensity 9300.
• The Qualcomm chip’s price increase lines up with previous reports.

Qualcomm suggested at its Snapdragon Summit last year that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 would be more expensive than its predecessor. We’ve also seen leaks hinting at this increased price point. Now, a Chinese source has revealed apparent pricing for the new Snapdragon and MediaTek chips.

Digital Chat Station posted apparent Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and MediaTek Dimensity 9400 pricing on Weibo, and it doesn’t make for good reading. The tipster asserts that both chips will be ~20% more expensive than their predecessors due to the cost of TSMC’s 3nm manufacturing process.
