The Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset could arrive with these performance upgrades
Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 8 Elite last month at its annual Snapdragon Summit event in Hawaii, and the successor to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip features multiple upgrades, including generative artificial intelligence (AI) on the device and a custom Qualcomm Second generation Oryon CPU. cores. A tipster has now claimed that its successor, the alleged Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 SoC, could make an even bigger leap in single-core and multi-core performance, despite recently reported changes to its development plans.
Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 Chipset performance benchmarks (expected)
In one after on This year, Qualcomm already delivered a 30 percent improvement in CPU performance with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, compared to last year’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.
The tipster claims that the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 SoC’s single-core score will be around 4,000 points on Geekbench 6, compared to the reported 3,200 single-core score of Qualcomm’s current flagship mobile chipset.
However, the performance improvement is not just limited to the alleged Snapdragon chipset. The tipster claims that the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 will also offer a similar score on the benchmarking platform.
It was also suggested that the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 would use Samsung Foundry’s SF2 2nm-class manufacturing in addition to TSMC’s N3P process. However, the tipster, in a follow-up afterclaimed that this is unlikely to be the case anymore and that the plans have been cancelled. Thus, it is expected that Qualcomm’s alleged chipset will be produced exclusively using TSMC’s manufacturing capabilities.
The newly launched Snapdragon 8 Elite chip is built on a 3nm manufacturing process and features a custom second-generation Qualcomm Oryon CPU with eight cores, with a peak clock speed of 4.32 GHz. It features Qualcomm Adreno GPU and enhanced Hexagon NPU as part of the Qualcomm AI Engine, achieving 40 percent better gaming performance and 35 percent improved ray-tracing capabilities over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.
