Motorola Edge 70 Ultra runs Geekbench, offers a preview of Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 performance

Qualcomm is yet to fully unveil the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 – note: no “Elite” – but the company has confirmed some key details. The most interesting part is the CPU as this will be the first non-Elite chip to feature the in-house Oryon cores instead of relying on Arm’s Cortex designs.

Geekbench has results from the Motorola XT2603-1 – this should be the Moto Edge 70 Ultra or, more likely, the Moto X70 Ultra since this is probably the Chinese version.

Either way, the phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, so here is a preview of what it can do. Single-core performance was rated at around 2,600, multi-core at around 7,500.

This tops the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (there was no 8 Gen 4), which scores 2,100-2,200 in single and 6,500-6,600 in multi-core tests. However, it is behind the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which does 3,000-3,100 in single and 8,700-9,800 in multi-core tests (we’ve seen wildly different results from different phones). The latest Elite, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, does 3,500-3,600 in single and 10,000-11,000 in multi-core.

Motorola Edge 70 Ultra/X70 Ultra (XT2603-1): Geekbench results

Geekbench doesn’t run GPU tests, but it does list the GPU – an Adreno 829. Going by the model number, this should be between the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 (Adreno 825) and the Snapdragon 8 Elite (Adreno 830) in terms of graphics performance.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 inside the Motorola Edge 70 Ultra/X70 Ultra features 2x 3.65GHz prime cores and 6x 3.32GHz performance cores. It is hooked up to 16GB of RAM and runs Android 16.

There’s no word on when Motorola might unveil the Edge 70/X70 flagship. The Moto Edge 70 (aka X70 Air) is the first in this generation and was unveiled a couple of weeks ago.
