The Snapdragon 8 Elite’s latest Leading Version has reached the once unthinkable ~2.9 million mark in terms of AnTuTu scores in the form of that benchmark’s current leader, the RedMagic 10S Pro+.
Its successor the “11 Ultra” might be poised to blast right past it to become one of the world’s first devices with a score of 4 million, according to a new leak.
The Elite 2’s Adreno 840 GPU is thought to contribute to those numbers with a new top speed of ~1.2GHz, compared to 1.1GHz in its 830 predecessor.
The second-gen 8 Elite (or “Qualcomm SM8850”) might come with its version of ARM’s latest Scalable Vector Extension 2 (SVE2) and Scalable Matrix Extension (SME) features to augment its octa-core Oryon CPU, thought to have a relatively simple 2 prime and 6 performance core layout.
The 8 Elite 2 is thought to power other next-gen devices such as the Honor Magic8 Pro, Xiaomi 16 and OnePlus 15. Even they might be outdone by the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra thanks to its custom ‘for Galaxy’ variant of the same silicon, though.
It is now predicted to have a top speed of 4.74GHz, compared to an estimated ~4.6GHz in the standard version of the same chipset.
I became a professional writer and editor shortly after graduation. My degrees are in biomedical sciences; however, they led to some experience in the biotech area, which convinced me of its potential to revolutionize our health, environment and lives in general. This developed into an all-consuming interest in more aspects of tech over time: I can never write enough on the latest electronics, gadgets and innovations. My other interests include imaging, astronomy, and streaming all the things. Oh, and coffee.
