Motorola Edge 70 Ultra runs Geekbench, offers a preview of Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 performance | Infinium-tech

Qualcomm hasn’t fully unveiled the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 yet — note: no “Elite” — but the company has confirmed some key details. The most interesting part is the CPU as it will be the first non-Elite chip to feature an in-house Orion core rather than relying on Arm’s Cortex design.

Geekbench has the results of the Motorola XT2603-1 – it should be the Moto Edge 70 Ultra or, more likely, the Moto X70 Ultra as this is presumably the Chinese version.

Either way, the phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, so here’s a preview of what it can do. Single-core performance was rated at around 2,600, multi-core at around 7,500.

This is up from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (there was no 8 Gen 4), which scored 2,100-2,200 in single and 6,500-6,600 in multi-core tests. However, it lags behind the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which did 3,000-3,100 in single and 8,700-9,800 in multi-core tests (we saw wildly different results from different phones). The latest Elite, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, does 3,500-3,600 in single and 10,000-11,000 in multi-core.

Motorola Edge 70 Ultra/X70 Ultra (XT2603-1): Geekbench results

Geekbench doesn’t run GPU tests, but it does list the GPU – an Adreno 829. Going by the model number, it should be between the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 (Adreno 825) and the Snapdragon 8 Elite (Adreno 830) in terms of graphics performance.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 inside the Motorola Edge 70 Ultra/X70 Ultra features 2x 3.65GHz Prime Cores and 6x 3.32GHz Performance Cores. It is coupled with 16GB of RAM and runs Android 16.

There is no information on when Motorola will unveil the Edge 70/X70 flagships. The Moto Edge 70 (aka X70 Air) is the first in this generation and was unveiled a few weeks ago.
