We benchmark the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 inside the Realme GT 8 Pro | Infinium-tech

The first phone with the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Jean 5 has already been announced, but they are not yet available. He said, we have a prototype device on the hand that we can use for the first round benchmark. We can not show it to you yet, but here Realme GT 8 Pro is to look into a secretly in the prototype:

Let’s take a close look at the first chip. The 8-core CPU has the third generation Orion Corps-two large and six mediums. Large core smartphones can reach new heights in terms of clock speed, which can go up to 4.61GHz. Overall, the CPU is expected to make a 20% performance improvement compared to the previous generation. The new CPU is 35% more efficient, which in turn makes the entire chipset 16% more efficient. Note: We will run a battery life test after having a phone ready for the market.

The latest adreno GPU also promises 23% increase in overall performance along with electricity saving (up to 20%). Adreno High Performance Memory (HPM) is 18MB dedicated memory that improves efficiency and speed.

Now for benchmark. Instead of comparing individual devices, we decided to take average for several major flagship chips that were relevant in 2025 and 2024, to see how the new Snapdragon 8 Elite gene 5 compared.

Starting with Antutu 10, Snapdragon 8 Elite Jean 5 Prototype was found within the ARM access of 3 million points. A 20% improvement is what Qualcomm promised and 20% is what we have received compared to the average of Snapdragon 8 Elite Phone that we have tested and increased by 7% above the 9400 average. It also defeats the Apple A19 Pro, although the antuu results are not comparable cross-platforms.

The next test is 3DMark’s Wildlife Extreme, which focuses on GPU. Here again we see the uplift of 20% performance on the old elite chip, which is quite close to the official number. In addition, the lead of the chip at a distance of 9400 looks better with 14% improvement. The 9500 was recently announced, but we have not tested it yet.

Ray Tracing is a big new thing in desktop graphics – however, it is so computationally expensive that only the top GPU can pull it at good frame rates. Smartphone GPU is also creating its Ray Tracing Acceleration Hardware – General 5 is considered 25% faster than its predecessor, according to Qualcomm’s numbers.

And this is the explosion on the improvement that we saw in the Solar Bay Test, which focuses on Ray Tracing. Compared to 9400 demeritations, the new Snapdragon is 16% further. Apple also worked on hardware ray tracing support for the A19 Pro, but according to this test, it needs to be more because Qualcomm’s top chip is 27% ahead.

so far so good. Snapdragon 8 Elite Jean 5 is meeting expectations, at least acts in this prototype device. Adreno remains an attraction of the chipset of the GPU Qualcomm and measures well against the in-house CPU core (now in their third generation) competition.

There are some things that we cannot test with this prototype device – such as battery life and constant performance, which are strongly dependent on the hardware of each phone. Some manufacturers use larger vapor rooms and batteries than others, it is equally simple. Therefore, we must first wait for Snapdragon 8 Elite Jean 5 phone to come to the office and then we can proceed with further tests.
