Snapdragon 8 Gen 5: CPU and GPU benchmarks showcase OnePlus Ace 6T performance
Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 weeks ago as its first sub-premium chipset for this generation. It sits behind the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in the company's hierarchy and has now been tested aboard the new OnePlus Ace 6T to see its raw performance numbers.
As revealed by Novice Evaluation, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 performs in the same ballpark as the Snapdragon 8 Elite—CPU-wise. On Geekbench 6, the new chipset records a single-core score of 2,957 and a multi-core score of 10,236. The Snapdragon 8 Elite scores 3,256 and 10,358 in comparison.
There's much less parity in the GPU departments, however. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 scores 2,088 on 3DMark's Steel Nomad Light test, and 5,681 on the WildLife Extreme test. The Snapdragon 8 Elite scores 2,550 and 7,156 on those same tests, showcasing around a 20% performance advantage for the last-gen flagship chipset.
Those numbers are mirrored on Geekbench's OpenCL test, where the Snapdragon Gen 5 scores 17,217 versus the 18,287 score of the Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered OnePlus 15. That comes as no surprise, either way, as the Adreno 829 on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is effectively a binned version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite's Adreno 840.
