Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 Benchmark Scores Leak Ahead of Launch
Following yesterday's A19 Pro benchmark reveal, today's focus shifts to Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset. Shared by the well-known Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station, the leaked benchmarks reveal a performance leap that puts Qualcomm in strong contention with Apple’s next-generation silicon.
Geekbench 6 Scores – Snapdragon 8 Elite 2
According to the leak, the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 is expected to achieve:
Single-Core Score: Over 4,000
Multi-Core Score: Over 11,000
For comparison, the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (or Elite 1) averages around 3,100 single-core and 9,800 multi-core, depending on the device and cooling system used.
How It Compares to Apple’s A19 Pro
Apple’s A19 Pro — expected to debut in the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max — will also reportedly hit 4,000 in single-core, but it falls short in multi-core, scoring around 10,000.
This puts the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 ahead of Apple in multi-core performance, while both chips go head-to-head in single-core speed.
