Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 – The Next Beast is Here! ⚡🔥

Hey Questers,

Big news in the tech world 🚨 – Qualcomm is launching its next flagship chip, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, next week at the Snapdragon Summit!

Let’s break down what’s new 👇

🔹 1. CPU Power Upgrade

This chip uses Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores in an 8-core (2+6) setup.

2 Performance cores clocked at a crazy 4.6+ GHz 🚀

6 Performance cores around 3.6 GHz.

There’s also talk of a “for Galaxy” version with even higher clocks (~4.74 GHz 👀).

🔹 2. Built on Refined 3nm Process

The chip is manufactured on TSMC’s N3P 3nm node → more efficient, more powerful, and optimized for sustained performance ⚡

🔹 3. Cache Boost = Smoother Multitasking

Cache memory has jumped from 24MB to 32MB (16+16).

Bigger cache = faster app loading, smoother multitasking, and better gaming performance 🎮

🔹 4. Graphics Power – Adreno 840 GPU

The new Adreno 840 GPU is clocked at 1.2 GHz (vs 1.1 GHz on previous gen).

Expect higher FPS, more stable gaming, and console-like visuals 🔥

🔹 5. AI Performance Goes Brrr 🤯

The NPU is rumored to deliver 100+ TOPS of AI power.

This means faster on-device AI features, real-time translations, photo enhancements, and next-gen GenAI experiences.

🔹 6. Benchmarks Tell the Story

📊 Geekbench 6.4 (Xiaomi 17 Pro test):

Single-core: 3,831

Multi-core: 11,525

📊 AnTuTu v11: ~4.4 Million+ 🤯

That’s a huge leap compared to Snapdragon 8 Elite (~3,179 / 10,114).

✨ What It Means for Us?

Next-gen flagships will see massive CPU & GPU power.

Gaming will feel smoother than ever on iQOO phones 🔥.

AI features will be smarter and faster.

All this with better efficiency thanks to 3nm refinement.

❓Now the big question:

Do you think Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 will make 2026 Android flagships truly unbeatable, or will Apple’s chips still give tough competition? 🍎📱
