Nobody noticed the 6 slices? Twice the slices of 8E and 8EG5. If they're similar or better ones, we get insane GPU uplifts
Still too slow!
No 10 GHz no buy!!

Seriously though, Qualcomm and Mediatek need focus more on the efficiency side now, considering that they're going to enter new TSMC node next year. Enough with all that overclocking that can only benefit the benchmarking softwares. People should also started voting with their wallet to choose phones with highest stability score instead of highest antutu or whatever "benchmark" they use

zacatak15, 16 Apr 2026I can't wait for the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 7 Pro Ultra.I think they are moving in a direction where:
A Flagship SOC costs $299 for the manufacturer.
A Mid-Range SOC costs $199 for the manufacturer.
A Budget SOC costs $99 for the manufacturer.

All I am saying is that let the manufacturers push the bar of processing power.
You do not want those Intel era upgrades of 5% performance improvement on PCs each year, do you?
Google is exactly doing that with the Tensor.
Good thing is that we have Qualcomm, Mediatek and others in this race.

They should've just called the Elite series the 9GenX though to avoid confusion with the existing 8Gen series..
Android Trumps iOS, 16 Apr 2026Even if it does reach 5Ghz, How long do you think it will actually stay at those speeds? Like 3s probably, like every other flagship soc. They're way too powerful at max load for a smartphone
