Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is a high-end 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. An Adreno 840 iGPU is also integrated.
Initial rumors speak of a Geekbench 6 score of 3,000 (single) or 10,000 (multi). The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 achieves slightly higher scores in Geekbench 6.5, namely 3,600 (single) and 10,800 (multi). The higher single-core score can be explained by the higher clock rates of up to 4.6 GHz in the Elite SoC. The SD 8 Gen 5 should therefore be able to compete with the fast MediaTek Dimensity 9500.
According to rumors, the SoC is produced in the N3P process at TSMC.
