According to a prolific leakster Digital Chat Station, the Snapdragon 8s Elite is able to achieve performance that sits between the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and 8 Gen 3.


Recently, an unknown phone with the model number V2453A appeared on Geekbench. This is believed to be the iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro, which, as per Geekbench details, likely runs the Snapdragon 8s Elite.


The chip has one core at 3.21GHz, three cores at 3.01GHz, two at 2.80GHz, and two at 2.02GHz.


What’s more interesting is the GPU, Adreno 825, according to the benchmark. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has an Adreno 750, and the 8 Elite has an Adreno 830. The Adreno 825 GPU in the Geekbench listing above is from the same generation as the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which further led to the belief that the V2453A device runs the Snapdragon 8s Elite.

What’s more? The Snapdragon 8s Elite chip is codenamed ‘SM8735’ and is leaked to have a CPU architecture consisting of Cortex-X4 and Cortex-A720 cores.
