A new chip, reportedly called the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, may soon join the premium Snapdragon 8 series lineup.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"447\" data-end=\"758\">According to a leak spotted on Weibo, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 will be built on TSMC\u2019s advanced N3p process and carry Qualcomm\u2019s custom Oryon CPU. It\u2019s said to share the same CPU and GPU architecture as the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 but with a few tweaks aimed at balancing cost and performance.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"760\" data-end=\"787\">What the Leaks Reveal<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"788\" data-end=\"1126\">The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is tipped to feature an octa-core design with two high-performance cores running at 3.8GHz and six efficiency cores at 3.32GHz. On the graphics side, the chip may include an Adreno 840 GPU, which could have slightly fewer processing units compared to the Elite version, though it will still run at 1.2GHz.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1128\" data-end=\"1154\">Expected Performance<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1155\" data-end=\"1269\">Despite the scaled-down GPU, leaked benchmarks suggest the chip will pack serious power. Early numbers point to:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1270\" data-end=\"1456\">\n<li data-start=\"1270\" data-end=\"1311\">\n<p data-start=\"1272\" data-end=\"1311\">Over 3.3 million points on AnTuTu<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1312\" data-end=\"1389\">\n<p data-start=\"1314\" data-end=\"1389\">Around 3,000 (single-core) and 10,000 (multi-core) on Geekbench 6<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1390\" data-end=\"1456\">\n<p data-start=\"1392\" data-end=\"1456\">Sustaining 100+ FPS in the GFXBench Aztec Ruins 1440p test<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1458\" data-end=\"1587\">This means CPU performance should be on par with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, while GPU performance may be just a notch lower.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1589\" data-end=\"1606\">What\u2019s Next<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1607\" data-end=\"1967\">Qualcomm hasn\u2019t officially confirmed the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 yet, but reports suggest smartphone makers like Vivo, iQOO, Motorola, and Meizu are already preparing devices that could feature the chip. If true, it could give customers more choice in the flagship performance segment, offering power close to the Elite but potentially at a lower price point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just days after Qualcomm unveiled its top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, fresh leaks suggest the company isn\u2019t stopping there.
