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.

Reviews for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor

Review: Motorola Edge 70 Max

Motorola Edge 70 Max smartphone review – Record-breaking battery life and flagship features at a low price

Samsung's and Apple's top phones struggle to compete with the Motorola Edge 70 Max when it comes to battery life: It is designed uncompromisingly around a huge battery, yet doesn't feel bulky as a result and is now available at a fairly low price. But are there any drawbacks?

Motorola Razr Fold Review

Is Motorola’s book-style phone debut so successful that Samsung has reason to worry? – Razr Fold Smartphone Review

The Razr Fold is Motorola’s first classic foldable. It offers compelling features: a powerful camera system, plenty of performance, great sound, and, above all, bright screens. That sounds like a successful debut, but are there any issues?

Vivo X300 FE Review

The mini version of one of the best camera smartphones saves a lot of money – Vivo X300 FE Smartphone Review

The handy Vivo X300 FE costs half as much as the Ultra model and cuts corners in all the right places: The battery is barely smaller, some cameras are more light-sensitive, and when it comes to performance, the phone can handle almost anything. Is Vivo producing the strongest competitor to its top-of-the-line model?

Oppo Pad Mini Review

Ultra-light OLED tablet is miles ahead of the competition - Oppo Pad Mini Review

It doesn't always have to be a revolution—sometimes all it takes is building a tablet that does just about everything better than the competition. With the Pad Mini, Oppo elevates the compact category to a whole new level, pairing premium specs with a fast OLED display and an extra-long battery life.

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.
