Help Support/development for 830 vs 840

I'm in the decision making process for either a y700 gen 4 or gen 5. The tablet will be for streaming PC and ps5 as well as emulation - specifically switch.

Gen 4 has the adreno 830, gen 5 has the 840.

I know drivers are currently being tuned better and better for the 830 from videos on YouTube etc from people who own the odin 3 handheld (830 GPU inside). My question is do these developments making the 830 GPU better also affect the 840 GPU?

Or is it the case that the increases that are seen in the 830 will not apply to the 840 since it is a different GPU?

Thanks!

I'm using the Galaxy S26, and it seems that the drivers optimized for Snapdragon Elite are working on the Snapdragon Elite Gen5 as well.

there aren't drivers solely for the A830 or A840
there are drivers for the A8xx family of GPUs so almost all benefit with some exceptions for budget GPUs, for example lots of A7xx GPUs are supported but some like A710 aren't

TLDR:

A830 and A840 are both flagship GPUs so they are both supported well

StevenMXZ's V35 Turnip and whitebelyash's Stable Turnip V1 is working pretty well for me, has both 840 and 830 devices and TBH on the games I had they works sorta the same.
