Announced in September 2025, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is the company’s most powerful smartphone chipset until its successor arrives later this year. This flagship SoC already dominates some of the most popular benchmarks among all smartphone chipsets, and has been a strong choice for top-tier performance and excellent power efficiency.

Here, we’ll look at the benchmark scores of Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 from some popular and reliable platforms, including AnTuTu, Geekbench, and 3DMark.

Note: To obtain the benchmark scores, the tests have been performed on the iQOO 15, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 AnTuTu score

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered iQOO 15 achieves a total score of over 3.7 million on the AnTuTu benchmark (v11). The major contribution comes from the GPU, with a score of 1.4 million, while the CPU gets a little over a million. The memory and UX scores are also impressive at 435K and 827K, respectively.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
AnTuTu score	3,751,084
CPU	1,085,556
GPU	1,401,745
Memory	435,923
UX	827,860

While the iQOO 15 can’t reach the 4 million AnTuTu mark, the RedMagic 11 Pro, powered by the same chipset, does. This gaming smartphone unlocks the maximum performance of the device at the cost of high battery consumption, achieving an impressive 4,002,199 AnTuTu points.

Device/Chip	AnTuTu score (v11)
iQOO 15 (SD 8 Elite Gen 5)	3,751,084
OnePlus 13 (SD 8 Elite)	2,994,563
OnePlus 15R (SD 8 Gen 5)	2,961,236
Vivo X300 Pro (D-9500)	3,622,840

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Geekbench score

On Geekbench, the iQOO 15 (powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5) gets 3,649 points in the single-core test and 10,682 points in the multi-core test. These are solid Geekbench scores, which outperform MediaTek’s most powerful Dimensity 9500 chipset and, obviously, older Snapdragon chips with a big margin.

Device/Chip	Single core	Multi core
iQOO 15 (SD 8 Elite Gen 5)	3,649	10,682
OnePlus 13 (SD 8 Elite)	3,026	9,306
OnePlus 15R (SD 8 Gen 5)	2,837	9,352
Vivo X300 Pro (D-9500)	3,452	10,128

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 3DMark score

The 3DMark Wild Life Extreme test shows results that are rather different from those of AnTuTu and Geekbench. Here, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered iQOO 15 reaches a high score of 7,240 and a low score of 3,219. Surprisingly, the Vivo X300 Pro, powered by Dimensity 9500, gets better scores.

Device/Chip	High score	Low score	Stability
iQOO 15 (SD 8 Elite Gen 5)	7,240	3,219	44.5%
OnePlus 13 (SD 8 Elite)	6,628	4,155	62.7%
OnePlus 15R (SD 8 Gen 5)	5,009	3,321	66.3%
Vivo X300 Pro (D-9500)	7,310	4,006	54.8%

The OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 15R, which are powered by older Snapdragon 8-series chipsets, also obtains higher low-score than the iQOO 15. What surprises me the most is that the iQOO 15 has the lowest stability of 44.5% of among all the devices the list.

Note that a chipset alone isn’t entirely responsible for the performance, as other aspects like OEM’s implementation, software optimizations, and cooling mechanism also play important roles. The result would be different on a different device powered by the same Qualcomm/MediaTek chipset.
