Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite has been officially unveiled and brings massive performance improvements. As expected, thanks to the implementation of kernels Qualcomm Oryonwhich come from this manufacturer’s laptop chips. The result is a smartphone chip with huge intergenerational improvements. Details are published on the official website of the American company Qualcomm.
Historic intergenerational increases in performance and efficiency
Let’s go straight to the exact percentage improvements reported by the designer of this chip, Qualcomm. CPU cores Oryon they promise 45 % improvement in gross performance, o 44 % better energy efficiency and the largest cache (12MB L2) across the mobile chip industry.
The integrated graphics have also been improved Adrenoat which it is possible to record 40 % an increase in both performance and energy efficiency. The average user will reportedly be able to notice up to 27 % reducing energy consumption. If this is translated into practice, it will be a respectable result.

It was also implemented Qualcomm AI Engine with the fastest so far Qualcomm Hexygon NPU. The result is 45 % increasing the performance in the field of AI applications, while it was possible to achieve o 45 % better performance per watt. Native generative support makes AI even easier to understand user input.
Benchmark results and comparison of Snadrpagon 8 Elite with Dimensity 9400
For an easier understanding of this data, it will probably be easier to report what the results are from two popular benchmark applications. Unofficial sources talk about the result score 3,070,269 v AnTuTu Benchmarka 3236respectively 10049 points v Geekbench 6 (Single Core / Multi Core). For comparison, a competing chip, MediaTek Dimensity 9400also achieved very good results, namely 2,997,173 points v AnTuTu a score 2874 / 8969 v Geekbench 6 (source: NanoReview).
Both chips are built on 3 nm production process from TSMC with instruction kit ARMv9.2-A. Dimensity 9400 it has two more cores, but the power of the cores makes up for it Oryon present in Snapdragone 8 Elite. At the same time, the fastest core reaches a clock speed of up to 4,32 GHz. For such a drastic change in the architecture of the cores Qualcomm decided for the first time since 2016.
High computing power will also help with photography
Lovers of mobile photography will also enjoy it. ISP (Image Signal Processor) is directly combined with Qualcomm Hexygon NPUthanks to which it is possible to take beautiful photos and videos using powerful AI algorithms. There are also unique functions, such as the remover of unwanted objects from videos. Algorithms should always set the color rendering of the skin or the appearance of the sky correctly.

ISP enables output 4,3 gigapixelu per second, which is about 0,9 gigapixelu more compared to the predecessor, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. It is possible to shoot a relatively high-quality video in low-light conditions in resolution 4K pri 60 fps. Dimensity 9400 promises up to 8K pri 60 fps and the absence of this option is a little disconcerting in the case of the new Snapdragon.
Extreme gaming performance with low power consumption
Gamers can look forward to almost unmatched gaming performance thanks to the implementation Unreal Engine 5 Nanite. Thanks to this, it is possible to bring 3D scenes like from high-end movies to mobile games, while managing to minimize energy consumption. The following APIs are supported:
- OpenGL ES 3.2
- Vulkan 1.3
- OpenCL 3.0 FP
Rich connectivity must not be missing
Snapdragon Sound Technology Suite with support Qualcomm aptX Lossless Technology brings the option of streaming 24-bit 48 kHz audio content via Bluetooth, respectively 24-bit 96 kHz sound via Wi-Fi. Qualcomm Expanded Personal Area Network (XPAN) can cover “the whole building” with streaming audio. This is possible thanks to support for the latest low-energy standard Wi-Fi 7which, however, not every household or office is currently equipped with. It is an ever-growing standard that will be useful in the future.
Snapdragon 8 Elite offers the latest Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0
You can of course expect modern connectivity, starting with the system Snapdragon X80 5G Modem-RF with a dedicated AI tensor accelerator that allows extremely fast transfer speeds to be achieved within the frame 5G see p 4×6 MIMO (Sub-6) solution. The theoretical download speed reaches 10 Gbps and recording speed again 3,5 Gbps.
Positioning is about 30 % more precisely and system Qualcomm FastConnect 7900 serving to ensure local connectivity through Wi-Fi (versions 4, 5, 6 and 7), Bluetooth 6.0 a UWB is about 40 % more efficient. The chipset comes with charging standard support Quick Charge 5.
Which smartphones will the Snapdragon 8 Elite go to first?
Inserting a new chip Snapdragon 8 Elite we can expect in the case of a number of upcoming flagship models. Portal Android Authority he states that he will come with him for example OnePlus 13which will be presented already October 31. even before October 30we can look forward to the unveiling of the series Honor Magic 7. All these novelties will first be exclusively sold only on the Chinese market and we will have to wait for their arrival in Europe.
