The chip’s octa-core CPU reportedly scores over 11,000 points in Geekbench 6’s multi-core CPU performance test and over 4,000 points in the single-core CPU performance test.
That is a performance jump of 29% in the single-core test and 12% in the multi-core test compared to the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. It matches Apple’s A19 Pro chip in the single-core CPU test and far exceeds its multi-core CPU performance. The Adreno 840 GPU inside the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 is said to feature 16MB of graphics memory.
If this report is accurate, the CPU performance of a chipset used in Android phones, including the Galaxy S26 series, will exceed that of Apple’s flagship iPhone chip for the first time in the history. The GPU performance of the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip used in the Galaxy S25 already outperforms the A18 Pro’s GPU (which is used in the iPhone 16 Pro Max).
All I want is User Replaceable batteries

Might be just enough to run SimCity 2000
Man, you can do HL1, StarCraft, warcraft, CS1.6. don’t downplay the power of 16mb lol
… Now you have me wondering if it would in fact be possible to run it on a GPU. (As shaders or something I guess)
Like JUST the gpu?
Yeah. I guess it would have to be a static demo after it’s loaded since user input would go through the CPU
Man I don’t think I know enough computer science to even start pretending to know what that would entail.
4,000 ST in Geekbench 6 is a very high score by modern standards.
What’d the game (I assume its a game) in the thumbnail?
Looks like Race The Sun
Hey that’s great. Don’t care though. What are the efficiency improvements like? Or are there none?
Yeah raw performance is nice but performance per watt compared to apple is more interesting to me.
