Recent leaks reveal details about the unreleased Snapdragon 8s Elite chip, originally seen in the iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro. The chip features a 4nm manufacturing process and a CPU configuration including one Cortex-X4 core at 3.21 GHz, three Cortex-A720 cores up to 3.01 GHz, and additional Cortex-A520 cores. It lacks the Oryon core found in the Snapdragon 8 Elite. The Adreno 825 GPU is expected to deliver an AnTuTu score around two million, indicating its performance will align more closely with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 rather than the premium Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Our previous insights on the still-unreleased Snapdragon 8s Elite date back to January, when the chip was identified within an iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro device. Recently, a notable industry insider has provided additional confirmation and elaboration on the initially shared information.
