Leak Points to Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Reusing Elite CPU on TSMC N3P at Lower Speeds

Qualcomm has acknowledged a non‑Elite chip is in development, but the specific specifications and benchmark figures circulating are unverified.

Overview

  • Leaked details cite an Oryon 8‑core layout with two performance cores and six efficiency cores running at about 3.80GHz and 3.32GHz, respectively.
  • The chip reportedly pairs that CPU with an Adreno 840 GPU around 1.20GHz, aiming for performance near last year’s Snapdragon 8 Elite but below the new Elite Gen 5.
  • Shared figures attribute scores of roughly 3.3 million in AnTuTu, about 3,000 single‑core and 10,000 multi‑core in Geekbench 6, and over 100 FPS in GFXBench Aztec 1440p.
  • Multiple reports say the non‑Elite Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is built on TSMC’s N3P 3nm process, the same node used for the Elite variant.
  • Early comparisons based on leaked Geekbench numbers suggest Samsung’s Exynos 2600 could edge it in CPU performance.
