The 2025 Snapdragon Summit is scheduled by Qualcomm for September 23–26, 2025. The US-based chipmaker is probably going to reveal the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, which will power the premium phones of the future. According to a recent Weibo post by trustworthy tipster Digital Chat Station, this next SoC will have significant improvements in processing and graphics capabilities.
According to the leak, Qualcomm’s second-generation Oryon CPU architecture would be available in the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. According to reports, the chipset is aiming for single-core test scores of over 4,000 points and multi-core scores of up to 11,000 points on Geekbench 6. The new chip promises a considerable performance boost over the first-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite, which scored about 3,100 and 9,800, respectively.
Snapdragon 8 Elite 2: big upgrade in CPU and GPU performance
A 16MB GMEM cache and an updated Adreno 840 GPU are also anticipated to be included in the platform, which will enable it to easily handle demanding visuals and graphics-intensive applications. These improvements imply that future flagship smartphones will prioritize improved thermal management and performance efficiency.
Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 known specs
According to rumors, the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 will offer notable upgrades over its predecessor with a 2+6 CPU structure and a potential clock speed of up to 5GHz. With a base frequency of 4.4GHz, which is marginally higher than the 4.32GHz of the previous iteration, the CPU is anticipated to be constructed using TSMC’s third-generation 3nm process.
Xiaomi is probably going to be the first company to release phones with this chipset, specifically the Xiaomi 16 and Xiaomi 16 Pro, based on past trends. The OnePlus 15, iQOO 15, 15 Pro, Honor Magic 8 series, Realme GT 8 Pro, Nubia Red Magic 11 series, and Redmi K90 series are possible more early adopters.
The new processor is anticipated to be included in the Vivo X300 Ultra and Oppo Find X9 Ultra, which are scheduled to launch next year. It’s unclear, meanwhile, if the Xiaomi 16 Ultra will use the company’s proprietary Xring SoC or the Snapdragon processor.
