Overview
- Qualcomm has acknowledged a non‑Elite Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is in development, positioning it as a lower‑cost near‑flagship option.
- The leaked specification claims the chip is built on TSMC’s N3P 3nm process, the same generation used for the Elite variant.
- Reported CPU details include Qualcomm Oryon cores in a 2+6 layout with approximate clocks of 3.80GHz for the performance cores and 3.32GHz for the efficiency cores.
- Graphics are said to come from an Adreno 840 GPU running around 1.20GHz, described as a step below the Elite model’s graphics capability.
- Shared pre‑release benchmarks cite roughly 3.3M+ in AnTuTu and about 3,000 single‑core and 10,000 multi‑core in Geekbench 6, with comparisons suggesting Exynos 2600 scores higher in CPU tests; all figures remain unverified.
