During the recently concluded Snapdragon Summit in Maui, Hawaii, Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 flagship SoC. Furthermore, Qualcomm introduced the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, designed “to offer you more choices and flexibility, while still delivering flagship features.” Although Qualcomm didn’t reveal many details about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, it did share some key information.
Similar to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is also built on a 3nm process and features a custom Oryon CPU, with a prime core clocking at up to 3.8 GHz and a performance core clocking at up to 3.32 GHz.
According to Qualcomm’s choice of words, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5’s octa-core processor will feature one prime core and seven performance cores, unlike the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which has two prime cores clocked at up to 4.6 GHz and six performance cores clocked at up to 3.62 GHz.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 also features a new Adreno GPU, a “powerful” NPU, and a “superior AI-ISP-powered camera,” but that’s pretty much all that’s known so far about the SoC.
