War of Processors: Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 vs MediaTek Dimensity 7400 — Here’s the Winner

Realme just launched the P4 Pro, and it’s the shiny new kid rocking Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 7 Gen 4. On the other side, we’ve got Motorola’s Edge 60 Fusion, which has already been on the market for a while, powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 7400.

Both are mid-range processors built on 4nm tech, and while both promise solid performance, we have tested them thoroughly and found that only one really pulls ahead when you look at the numbers.

CPU Performance: Small Differences, Noticeable Results

Let’s start with the brains of these chips. On paper, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 uses newer cores based on ARM’s Cortex-720 architecture, while MediaTek sticks with older Cortex-A78 performance cores inside the Dimensity 7400. That difference shows up in benchmarks.

In Geekbench 6, the P4 Pro scored 1,228 in single-core and 3,580 in multi-core, while the Edge 60 Fusion landed at 1,087 and 3,041.

Now, these aren’t gaps that make one phone unusable and the other a rocket ship. Both handle daily tasks like scrolling through social media, taking photos, or switching between apps smoothly. But when you push harder—say, juggling a video call while editing a batch of photos—the Snapdragon pulls ahead. It just feels more responsive, and in day-to-day use, those little boosts add up.

Verdict: Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 is ahead in CPU performance, giving the Realme P4 Pro the edge for multitasking and heavy use.

Gaming and Graphics: Not Even Close

This is the area where the gap becomes impossible to ignore. Qualcomm’s Adreno 722 GPU inside the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 is simply stronger than MediaTek’s Mali-G615 MP2.

Our 3DMark Steel Nomad Light runs showed the P4 Pro scoring 666 with an average of 4.9 fps, while the Edge 60 Fusion managed 405 with an average of 3.0 fps. In Wild Life Extreme Stress Test, the Realme held steady near 1,800 points across loops, while the Moto stayed just over 1,000. That’s nearly double the performance.

But benchmarks are one thing. Real games tell the story better. When we fired up BGMI, the Realme P4 Pro actually let us play at 90 fps on the Smooth preset. The Edge 60 Fusion capped out at 60 fps, even on Smooth. For casual players, that might not sound huge, but for competitive gaming, smoother frames are everything.

Verdict: Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 is the clear winner for gaming, both on paper and in practice.

AI Performance: MediaTek’s Big Punch

You’d think Qualcomm would sweep the board, but this is where MediaTek strikes back. In Geekbench AI tests, the Dimensity 7400’s scores weren’t just higher—they were on a completely different level.

The Edge 60 Fusion hit 2,835 in quantized workloads compared to the Snapdragon’s 380. In half-precision, it was 1,388 to just 163.

That means when it comes to AI-driven features like real-time translation, advanced camera filters, or on-device voice recognition, the Dimensity chip has more raw horsepower.

Verdict: Dimensity 7400 takes the AI round convincingly, showing MediaTek’s focus on smarter on-device processing.

Battery Life and Sustained Performance: Who Goes Longer?

Endurance is another category where Qualcomm shines. In PCMark’s Work 3.0 battery test, the Realme P4 Pro lasted just over 20 hours, while the Edge 60 Fusion stopped just short of 13 hours. That’s a big difference if you’re relying on your phone to carry you through long days without reaching for the charger.

In our CPU throttling tests, the Moto held steadier at about 91% of its peak, while the Snapdragon dropped further to around 86%. The catch is that the Moto’s peak performance is lower to begin with, so even when the Snapdragon throttles harder, it still stays faster overall.

Verdict: Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 wins for endurance and sustained performance, making the P4 Pro a better long-distance performer.

The Bottom Line: Which One Should You Pick?

After testing both thoroughly, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 proves to be the stronger all-round processor. It offers faster CPU performance, nearly double the GPU output, and better efficiency under sustained load, making it the clear choice.
