"Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 earlier this year, promising a 20% increase in CPU and a 23% increase in GPU performance over the previous Elite. Then came the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, but, confusingly, Qualcomm compared it to the two-year-old Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. So, what are the differences between the Elite and non-Elite Gen 5 chips? The CPU runs at different clock speeds 2x 3.8GHz + 6x 3.32GHz for the vanilla chip and 2x 4.61GHz + 6x 3.63GHz for the Elite."
"The GPUs on both chips are listed as Adreno 840, but they are clearly not the same. And the comparison with the old 8 Gen 3 doesn't help, so we have to turn to Geekbench. Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 vs. the old 8 Gen 3 Several phones, e.g. the Moto X70 Ultra, have run Geekbench. This includes running the OpenCL test, which reveals that the GPU runs at 384MHz."
"Now, if we turn to a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 based phone like the Realme GT 8 Pro that we benchmarked a while back, we can see that both 384MHz and 768MHz are listed. The latter is the boost frequency, which is what's missing from the non-Elite chip (the value for reading #53 is the same 384MHz as value #48, the base frequency)."
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 features higher CPU clock speeds (2x 4.61GHz + 6x 3.63GHz) compared with the vanilla Gen 5 (2x 3.8GHz + 6x 3.32GHz). The Elite GPU reports both 384MHz base and 768MHz boost frequencies in Geekbench, while the non-Elite shows only a 384MHz GPU frequency. The non-Elite Adreno 840 lacks the 18MB High-Performance Memory present on the Elite, reducing bandwidth and increasing latency. The Elite GPU's internal identifier is Adreno 829, while the non-Elite appears simply as Adreno 840. Several upcoming phones will ship with the non-Elite Gen 5, revealing real-world differences soon.
