Qualcomm recently unveiled its flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, which powers several newly launched premium smartphones. Now, the company appears to be preparing for the arrival of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, the next-generation processor in its high-end lineup. Ahead of its official debut, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has shared a detailed preview of the chip’s technical specifications and benchmark results.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 key specifications leaked

According to the leak, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is built on TSMC’s advanced N3P process and features Qualcomm’s custom Oryon CPU architecture. The configuration includes two ultra cores clocked at 3.8GHz and six performance cores running at 3.32GHz, offering a strong balance of speed and efficiency.

For graphics, it features the Adreno 840 GPU, based on the same IP as the Snapdragon 8 Elite’s GPU but with slightly scaled-down performance and a 1.2GHz frequency.

In early benchmark tests, the chipset reportedly achieved over 3.3 million points on AnTuTu and scored around 3,000 (single-core) and 10,000 (multi-core) on Geekbench 6. On the Aztec 1440p benchmark, it managed close to 100 frames per second, highlighting impressive graphical power for high-end gaming.

Performance-wise, the CPU output is said to be comparable to the Snapdragon 8 Elite, while the GPU performance is slightly lower. However, the N3P fabrication process is expected to deliver improved thermal management and energy efficiency, suggesting that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 will offer smoother performance and better stability despite its smaller scale design.

Reports suggest that the OnePlus Ace 6 Turbo, Vivo S50 Pro Mini, and Honor GT 2, which are expected to debut in November-December period, will be the first phones to feature it.

A new strategy applied by Qualcomm for next year is not just offering its top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for the most premium Android flagships out there, but also to offer an alternative to its phone partners that is more affordable and is mass produced on TSMC’s newest 3nm ‘N3P’ process. That SoC is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, and given the ludicrous price of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, we are confident that we will witness the less expensive solution power several ‘price to performance’ smartphones in 2026.
