Qualcomm is set to take the wraps off its Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 on November 26, with the chipset said to share the same 3nm ‘N3P’ lithography as the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, but arrive with a few changes. With only a few days remaining for the SoC’s official unveiling, we get our first look at its AnTuTu results, with numbers indicating that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is only marginally slower than its faster cousin, at least in one benchmark.
The latest AnTuTu results of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 show that the latter is only 14 percent slower than the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
The non-flagship chipset is expected to power the OnePlus Ace 6T, which will be running Android 16 right off the bat, followed by 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage. Looking at the latest AnTuTu results shared by Abhishek Yadav on X, the device in question achieved 3.56 million points. Assuming that the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 can secure 4 million in the same benchmark, that’s only a 14 percent difference between the two chipsets. In short, these are solid figures for an SoC that sits in the non-top-tier category.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 can become a worthy alternative for Qualcomm’s partners who do not want to shell out a ludicrous sum on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 but still incorporate their devices with premium features. According to an earlier rumor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 CPU operates at lower clock speeds but shares the same ‘2 + 6’ cluster as the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, with its performance and efficiency cores operating at 3.80GHz and 3.32GHz, respectively.
A previous rumor doing the rounds had shared some estimated benchmark results, with one of them belonging to AnTuTu. It turns out that the retail version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 obtained a higher number than what was mentioned in the aforementioned rumor, meaning that we should look forward to even better results from the remaining applications.
With the lowered clock speeds, it is possible that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 doesn’t run into the same overheating problems plaguing the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, but we can only make that conclusion once we get a closer look at additional benchmarks, so stay tuned for more updates.
