Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5

Qualcomm SD 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.

Please note that some of the above information, such as benchmarks and process, is still based on rumors from Digital Chat Station.
