The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 has generated considerable buzz in the tech world, and now, ahead of the launch, several key details about the chipset have emerged. According to reports, Qualcomm is set to officially launch its new flagship processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, this month.
Significantly, the company has made some significant strategic changes compared to its previous model, which could lead to significant differences in upcoming flagship smartphones.
According to reports, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5's manufacturing process and architecture are identical to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. These two models could almost be considered "twins." However, the 8 Gen 5 is being seen as the true "successor," replacing the previous N-1 chip series. As part of its new strategy,
Qualcomm has decided to continue with two versions of its lineup—standard and Pro (or Elite)—for a long time. This means the company will now maintain a two-tier structure for its flagship processors, similar to Apple's.
Preliminary performance data is also quite interesting. According to internal data, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5's AnTuTu score is higher than the 8 Elite, while its single-core score on Geekbench 6 is slightly lower and its multi-core score is better. In gaming tests, some new phones equipped with the 8 Gen 5 are delivering a gaming experience equal to or better than the 8 Elite.
An interesting detail has also emerged regarding pricing—the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is priced higher than the Snapdragon 8 Elite. This suggests Qualcomm is preparing to position this chipset in a more premium segment.
This digital flagship series will now completely replace the older N-1 models in the company's new product lineup, marking the creation of a new market structure. Qualcomm is expected to reveal the platform's full performance and specifications at launch.
