Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5

Qualcomm SD 8 Gen 5

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is a fast mid-range SoC (System on a Chip) for smartphones that was introduced at the end of 2025. It integrates two fast Oryon Gen 3 Prime Cores with up to 3.8 GHz and 6 smaller Oryon Gen 3 Performance Cores with up to 3.32 GHz. Compared to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5the 8 Gen5 offers smaller caches and a lower clock rate. However, both already support the SME2 instruction set (unlike the Snapdragon 8 Elite).

Furthermore, an Adreno 829 GPU with 2 MB cache and up to 1225 MHz clock speed is installed.

The Geekbench results show the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 on a par with the older Snapdragon 8 Elite but clearly behind the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. The MediaTek Dimensity 9500 is also slightly ahead of the 8 Gen 5, while the Dimensity 9400 remains behind it.

The SoC is produced in the N3P process at TSMC.

Honor MagicPad 4 tablet review

A mega-tablet with a 12.3-inch OLED screen and a no-brainer price – Honor MagicPad 4 review

A speedy Android tablet with a large and super-bright OLED display and top-notch features for under £600? The comparatively inexpensive MagicPad4 offers excellent value for money in the mid-range segment and manages to make the iPad competition seem truly overpriced.

Motorola Signature review: DxO award-winning attack on Apple and Samsung

The Motorola Signature is one of the slimmest and lightest smartphones currently available. In the test, Motorola's new top model also impressed with its bright AMOLED display and the outstanding Sony LYTIA camera system, which ranked in the top 10 in the DxO camera test. Read the test to find out who still shouldn't buy the Signature.
