Qualcomm announces Snapdragon 8 Elite chip with Oryon CPU, 40% faster GPU

21 October 2024
Generational CPU, GPU, and AI upgrades alongside the latest X80 modem.

Sort by:

All that power and it can't even do 4K @ 120Hz.
No wonder Sony discontinued 4K screens on their flagships.

        So much power, only to be diminished by future os updates to deliberately slow down the 1-2 yr old flagship phone, in order to make way for the newer one 😐 Otherwise kudos to Snapdragon & TSMC 👍

              jiyen235, 22 Oct 2024as if Qualcomm is specifically targetting those lmao They do target, not just Qualcomm even Valve. There is old Article at AndroidAuthority Qualcomm is working to make X86 to Arm translator for other os than windows, also Valve is working for proton for Arm soc to translate X86 to Arm.

              While Qualcomm doest care about Winlator direct, any improvement in Wine/proton will indirect improve X86 emulation in Android.

                jiyen235, 22 Oct 2024what AAA game? Android is like Xbox Series X, all hype no games.These Gpu later on will be used in Windows too, like sd 8 gen 2 was used in sd X elite,

                Also you can Emulate those Games, some leaked videos shows realme GT 7 playing Assasin creed black flag at steady 60fps.

                  Then Can we get 2 days battery life?

                    Its about peak perf+sustain perf+battery life...we will see. Maybe very BIG phones will be able to extract more from this, but the 6-6.5" phones has no chance

                      It depends if the companies will prefer to run it much cooler on lower clock speeds for more sustain perf or go higher and higher and so ....peak great perf (like opening apps) but garbage in using the apps

                        this must be the first generation quallcom silicon that surpasses the latest apple silicon in terms of power and efficiency. good to see a tough competition. finally, we can see flip phones that can literally last a day without anxiety.

                          Gamer, 22 Oct 2024Hmm, there's no need to get extra hardware for casing ... morewhat other choice do us mobile gamer plebs have? COD Mobile? PUBG? Asphalt? That's literally it in terms of "good" graphics for phones. If Google could pay devs to port ps2 or ps3 era games natively like Nintendo is doing with Switch (Red Dead Redemption for example) then android could've used all this power.

                          Through official means there's not much android users can do to harness the power of their SoCs. You have to use emulators and sail the seas to properly utilize the power.

                          i understand it's sarcasm but i agree with you. mobile phone gaming is a bigger joke than the Xbox Series X's exclusive collection.

                              I wonder whether there will be a Snapdragon 8 Elite 'Lite' this year based on the new architecture and 3nm process, or will 8G3 will be used as Qualcomm's offering for high midrange segment.

                                Very interesting to see a Snapdragon flagship going without E cores. MediaTec really might have been onto something when they pioneered that move.

                                And yet another renaming strategy lol. What is the successor chip going to be called, 8 Elite Gen 2? Mess.

                                Still, this is certainly looking fascinating and the benchmark drip over the weeks ahead is going to be one to watch for sure...

So it looks like Snapdragon 8 elite beats D9400 by ~10% in raw CPU performance. Performance/watt is also higher (~5% at low-moderate power consumption, 10% at higher consumption).

                                    GPU-wise, it seems to be a tie, both in terms of raw performance as well as power efficiency.

                                    The only unknown at this point is how the standby power consumption behaves.

                                      2025 is the year AAA titles will land officially on Android
