Snapdragon 8s Elite Details Emerge: Closer to 8s Gen 3 Than Expected

The Snapdragon 8s Elite, initially spotted in January powering an iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro, has surfaced again with more details from an industry leakster. However, those expecting it to be on par with the premium Snapdragon 8 Elite might be disappointed, as it appears to be more in line with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. Manufactured using a 4nm process, the chip features a Cortex-X4 prime core clocked at up to 3.21 GHz, three Cortex-A720 cores reaching up to 3.01 GHz, and another two running at 2.8 GHz. Additionally, it includes two Cortex-A520 cores with a maximum speed of 2.02 GHz. The chipset is equipped with an Adreno 825 GPU, and early benchmarks suggest an AnTuTu score of around two million points.
