One more year, another flagship mobile chip from Qualcomm. But things are reportedly a little different with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the company's newest offering aimed at premium smartphones. For one, it's using the Oryon CPU that debuted in the x Elite laptop chips last year, according to a leaked Videocardz slide. It is also using a new 3nm process node, instead of last year's 4nm node. That helps the Snapdragon 8 Elite deliver 45 percent faster single- and multi-core performance while using 27 percent less power than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
While we are still waiting for more details about the Snapdragon 8 Elite in Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit Later today, there's still a lot we can learn from that one leaked slide. As expected, the company is doubling down on its generative ai capabilities, with a 45 percent faster NPU (neural processing unit) than before, and gaming performance will also see a 40 percent boost. The 8 Elite will hit a top speed of 4.32 GHz on two cores, according to Videocardz, and will hit up to 3.53 GHz on six smaller cores.
