Qualcomm could unveil its next-gen high-end mobile chip, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2, at some point in October. Last year’s Snapdragon 8 Elite also saw the light of day around the same time. Ahead of an official announcement, a report in January suggested that the new Qualcomm chipset will get a significant performance boost. Also, Geekbench recently benchmarked the flagship SoC, shedding some light on its performance. Now, the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 has hit the benchmarking app AnTuTu with impressive results.
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 will be significantly more powerful than its predecessor
According to the leaked AnTuTu scores, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 will get a significant boost in terms of performance over its predecessor. In addition, the new Adreno 840 GPU is going to flaunt a faster clock speed when it debuts this year with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2.
As per the X user @Jukanlosreve, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 has a single-core performance score of 4,000 points, up from 3,200 points of the predecessor. The source claims the multi-core performance score to be 13,000 points, which is higher than 10,300 points of last year’s chip. Furthermore, the upcoming Adreno 840 GPU will have a clock speed of 1.35GHz, up from the Adreno 830’s 1.1GHz.
Qualcomm’s next flagship chip could have an accumulated score of 3.8 million
Reliable Chinese gadget tipster Digital Chat Station has also posted the purported AnTuTu benchmark results of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2. As per the source, the next-gen Qualcomm chip has accumulated an AnTuTu score of a whopping 3.8 million. If it’s true, the Elite Gen 2 will be 40.7 percent more powerful than what the iQOO 13 has garnered on AnTuTu’s leaderboards.
The charts show that the iQOO 13 with the Snapdragon 8 Elite currently ranks as the most powerful Android smartphone tested on the benchmarking tool. It has a result just a little short of the 2.7 million mark (2698668 points).
Furthermore, the tipster suggests that the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 will have a set of second-gen Oryon CPU cores. It could have two Prime cores and six Performance cores. The source indicates that the company will build the new chip on a TSMC N3P process, which offers a more advanced 3nm technology than the 8 Elite’s N3E process.
Since the official launch is months away, many things could change in the final architecture. So, it’s advisable to take this information with a pinch of salt for now.
