Snapdragon 8 Elite 2: Latest performance leak raises hype with monstrous multi-core numbers
A leak surfaced yesterday providing insight into how Apple's A19 Pro could perform, with the chipset reportedly set to outperform Apple's 10-core M4 in single-core performance. It appears, however, that Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 could do even better.
As revealed by Digital Chat Station, Qualcomm's next-gen flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, could be set to dominate the A19 Pro when it launches later this year. Reportedly, the chipset is currently estimated to deliver a single-core score of over 4,000 on Geekbench 6, and a multi-core score north of 11,000.
For some perspective, the Snapdragon 8 Elite scores an average of approximately 3,000 and 9,200 on those two tests in our database. That indicates a potential 30% uptick in single-core performance for the next-gen chipset, and about a 20% one in multi-core performance.
Either way, it appears the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 could finally outdo its Apple rival across the board this year, with the A19 Pro being rumored to score an identical ~4,000 on the single-core test, but only around 10,000 on the multi-core one. GPU-wise, the Snapdragon 8 Elite's Adreno 830 already outperforms the A18 Pro, and that's likely to continue with their successors.
