Smartphone manufacturers and consumers have always demanded a strong performance chip, but at an affordable cost. To support this idea, Qualcomm is planning a useful change for the upcoming year. Instead of pushing only its most expensive Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, the company will also offer a more budget-friendly option called Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, and in a new leak, the chipset is confirmed to share the same CPU cluster and lithography as the top-end model.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 will feature the CPU cluster of its bigger brother, the 8 Elite Gen 5

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset is made specifically for users who want high-end performance but at a lower cost. It is built on TSMC’s advanced 3nm N3P tech. It shares the same CPU cluster and lithography as the flagship 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC. Furthermore, it has eight CPU cores in total, with two high-performance cores and six power-saving cores. The performance cores run at 3.80GHz while the power-saving ones run at 3.32GHz.

For the first time, Qualcomm is bringing its Oryon CPU design into a non-flagship chip with this processor. The company has used the Adreno 840 CPU, which is slightly older but still powerful. It runs at 1.20GHz and is pretty much capable of running almost all the high-end mobile games.

The benchmark scores of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 are promising

Early benchmark report shared by Digital Chat Station shows that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 performs very close to the older flagship chips. It is able to achieve 3.3 million points on AnTuTu. On Geekbench, it scores above 3,000 points for single-core tests and above 10,000 points for multi-core tests. It also crosses 100 frames per second in the GFXBench Aztec 1440p test. These numbers are strong enough to run demanding apps and games smoothly.
