Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 8 Elite at its annual Snapdragon Summit occasion in Hawaii final month, and the successor to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip options a number of upgrades together with on-device generative artificial intelligence (AI) and second-generation custom-built Qualcomm Oryon CPU cores. A tipster has now claimed that its successor, the purported Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 SoC, would possibly provide a fair greater bounce in single-core and multi-core efficiency, regardless of lately reported modifications in its growth plans.
Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 Chipset Efficiency Benchmarks (Anticipated)
In a post on X (previously Twitter), tipster @Jukanlosreve prompt that the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 will provide a 20 % bounce in single-core and multi-core efficiency, citing sources in South Korea. This yr, Qualcomm already delivered a 30 % uplift in CPU efficiency with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, in comparison with final yr’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.
The tipster claims that the single-core rating of the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 SoC might be across the 4,000-point mark on Geekbench 6, in comparison with the reported 3,200 single-core rating of Qualcomm’s present flagship cell chipset.
Nevertheless, the efficiency enchancment is not restricted to only the purported Snapdragon chipset. The tipster claims that the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 may even provide the same rating on the benchmarking platform.
It was additionally prompt that the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 would utilise Samsung Foundry’s SF2 2nm-class manufacturing along with TSMC’s N3P course of. Nevertheless, the tipster, in a subsequent post, claimed that it’s not prone to be the case anymore and the plans have been cancelled. Thus, Qualcomm’s purported chipset is anticipated to be produced solely utilizing TSMC’s manufacturing prowess.
The lately launched Snapdragon 8 Elite chip is constructed on 3nm fabrication course of and contains a second-generation custom-built Qualcomm Oryon CPU with eight cores, having a peak clock pace of 4.32GHz. It options Qualcomm Adreno GPU and enhanced Hexagon NPU as a part of the Qualcomm AI Engine, serving to it obtain 40 % higher gaming efficiency and 35 % enhanced ray-tracing functionality over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.
