Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is shaping up to be an absolute powerhouse, if the latest leaks are to be believed. According to a tipster, the new chipset could deliver a massive performance jump, with its AnTuTu score rumored to be around 50% higher than the current Snapdragon 8 Elite.

The leak also sheds light on the CPU and GPU clock speeds. The Adreno 840 GPU will see a slight bump over the Adreno 830, while the CPU’s performance cores are expected to hit 4.61GHz by default. Interestingly, an early test on a Galaxy S26 Edge reportedly used a higher-binned version of the chip, pushing those cores up to 4.74GHz. On the efficiency side, the smaller cores are said to be locked at 3.63GHz.

Like its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is rumored to stick with a ‘2 + 6’ CPU cluster design, but with significant improvements under the hood. If these numbers hold true, Qualcomm could be gearing up to deliver one of the biggest generational leaps we’ve seen in years.

Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, is expected to pack some serious power, and the latest leak gives us a clearer picture. On the GPU side, Qualcomm will pair the SoC with the Adreno 840, which is rumored to run at a default clock speed of 1.20GHz — slightly faster than the Adreno 830’s 1.10GHz. Thanks to TSMC’s third-generation 3nm process, Qualcomm seems to have more headroom to push frequencies higher this time.

But the real jaw-dropper here is the AnTuTu benchmark score. According to the leak, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 allegedly crossed 4 million points on AnTuTu. To put that into perspective, the current benchmark leader, the REDMAGIC 10 Pro with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, scores around 2,662,615 points. If these numbers are accurate, the Gen 5 delivers nearly a 50% performance boost over its predecessor — a massive generational leap.

Interestingly, Samsung appears to have a big advantage this time. Thanks to an exclusive agreement with Qualcomm, the upcoming Galaxy S26 series will reportedly be the first to launch with the fastest, top-binned version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

All eyes are now on the Snapdragon Summit, scheduled for September 23, where Qualcomm is expected to officially reveal the chipset and confirm these rumors. Stay tuned — things are about to get very exciting for Android performance enthusiasts.
