The Poco F7 Pro and F7 Ultra use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Elite, respectively. The vanilla model is coming later this month and it will be equipped with another 8-series chip, the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4.
This can be seen in this Geekbench 6.4.0 scorecard from the Xiaomi 25053PC47G. Focus specifically on the CPU core clock speeds and the GPU, Adreno 825 – the 8s Gen 4 is the only chip with that GPU so far.

The first Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 powered phones are already out. This includes the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which will be the basis for the vanilla F7. The Redmi has a 6.83” 120Hz 12-bit display, a 50+8MP dual camera and a 7,550mAh battery with 90W wired charging. This phone has 12/16GB of RAM and between 256GB and 1TB storage.
Going back to Geekbench, the Poco F7 unit that was tested has 12GB of RAM. Himanshu Tandon, who leads Poco India, posted a poll on June 10 asking “What should be the ideal starting variant for a powerful device with a flagship level chipset?” The result was overwhelmingly in favor of 12GB.

The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is fabbed on TSMC’s 4nm node (N4P). Like previous 8s chips, this one uses ARM Cortex-based Kryo cores instead of the new Oryon cores seen in 8 Elite and X chips. That’s one Cortex-X4 core at 3.2GHz, three A720 cores at 3.0GHz, two A720 at 2.8GHz and two A720 at 2.0GHz. There are no A5xx series cores.
