After months of leaks and speculation, Qualcomm has officially confirmed that its next-generation chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, will be revealed on 26 November 2025 in China. This announcement was made via a Weibo post from Qualcomm.
Where It Sits in the Line-up
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is expected to slot just below Qualcomm’s premium tier, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Built on a 3 nm process and powered by custom Oryon CPU cores, early information reveals a top “prime” core clock speed of 3.8 GHz and additional performance cores clocked at 3.32 GHz.
Performance Expectations Ahead of Launch
Leak reports suggest the chip will feature an Adreno 840 GPU, delivering high-end graphics performance, albeit slightly below the Elite tier. Benchmark estimates cover over 3.3 million points on AnTuTu and around 3000 single-core and 10,000 multi-core points on Geekbench 6. Future phones tipped to use the chip include the OnePlus Ace 6T, Vivo S50 Pro Mini and HONOR’s GT 2 series.
Launch Date Official: 26 November 2025
