A few hours passed, and we learned that Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 might officially be called the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. After a brief gap, a fresh rumor now provides partial specification details, giving us a closer look at the improvements between two generations, at least on paper, because there is something else too. The tipster who provided these details also mentioned that the AnTuTu score is allegedly 50 percent higher than the Snapdragon 8 Elite attained, so let us dive into this rumor immediately.
Latest specifications talking about the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 also mentioned the Adreno 840’s clock speed details, making it a minor bump over the Adreno 830
The Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station has returned with some more crucial details surrounding the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Apparently, the version tested on the Galaxy S26 Edge was a higher-binned part, as its performance cores recorded on Geekbench 6 were 4.74GHz instead of the default 4.61GHz mentioned in the latest rumor. As for the efficiency cores, these are said to be locked at a frequency of 3.63GHz, with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 sporting a ‘2 + 6’ CPU cluster like the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
As for the GPU, Qualcomm will pair its upcoming flagship SoC with the Adreno 840, with the tipster stating that its default clock speed is 1.20GHz, making it slightly higher than the Adreno 830’s 1.10GHz speeds. It appears that TSMC’s third-generation 3nm process has given the San Diego firm some freedom in bumping up those frequencies, but how much of a difference will that translate into benchmarks? According to the rumor, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is claimed to have obtained more than 4 million points in AnTuTu.
If we look at the benchmark leaderboards, the fastest Android smartphone is the REDMAGIC 10 Pro and is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite. This device ended up with a score of 2,662,615. Assuming the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5’s AnTuTu results are legit, these figures will be 50 percent higher than its direct predecessor. Out of all the brands expected to launch their flagships, only Samsung will have the liberty to launch its Galaxy S26 series with the fastest one, courtesy of an exclusive agreement with Qualcomm. The chipset maker’s Snapdragon Summit will kick off on September 23, and any elusive details will be made available at the event, so stay tuned for more updates.
