DCS: Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 is being tested with CPU clocks over 5GHz
It seems that Qualcomm and ARM have diverging ideas on what the future looks like for smartphone chipsets. A few days ago, the popular Weibo leakster Digital Chat Station reported that ARM's new prime CPU core will have higher IPC to make it fast at lower clock speeds, which should be more efficient. Now DCS is saying that Qualcomm is aiming for record high clock speeds for the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. The upcoming flagship chip is being tested at frequencies around 5GHz, according to the leakster. An earlier version of the post claimed 5.3GHz for the overclocked version ('for Galaxy', 'Leading Version', whatever it is called). However, DCS updated the post to clarify that such peak frequencies are only being tested to validate the design. The final frequency will be decided based on performance and power efficiency. Still, it is expected to be higher than the original Snapdragon 8 Elite – its prime cores run at 4.32GHz in the regular version and 4.47GHz in the overclocked version. 4.47GHz is the highest clock speed in a mobile device currently – previously, it was 4.40GHz for the 2024 iPad Pros with M4 chips. Let's look at what we know about the competition – all unofficial and based on leaks from early test devices, so it may not be entirely accurate. The Dimensity 9500 ran Geekbench and showed that its prime core ('Travis') was clocked at 3.23GHz. That's lower than the Dimensity 9400 and 9400+, which have their Cortex-X925 cores at 3.62GHz and 3.73GHz, respectively. Dimensity 9500 scorecard from Geekbench (OpenCL) The Exynos 2500 was announced earlier this week, it has its Cortex-X925 at 3.3GHz. Of course, we should be looking at the Exynos 2600 instead, which will be featured on Galaxy S26 models, but there are no details on that yet. It's not all about clock speed, the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 will have second-generation Oryon cores, which will reportedly have 25% higher performance. The Adreno 840 GPU will have more cache (16MB, up from 12MB) and is supposed to deliver 30% more performance. Early benchmark results showed a single-core CPU score of over 4,000 and a multi-core score of over 11,000. For comparison, the current Snapdragon 8 Elite does around 3,100 single-core and 9,800 multi-core. Of course, we shouldn't put too much stock in leaks of early benchmarks. The good news is we don't have long to wait – Qualcomm pulled the Snapdragon Summit forward to September 23-25. Last year, the Elite was announced in late October. Source (in Chinese)

Next-Gen Chips Spurs Industry Shift
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) and MediaTek are lining up 2-nanometer system-on-chips for a late-2026 debut, riding a surge in on-device AI demand and built by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE:TSM). Counterpoint Research forecasts that Apple will shift over 80% of its product lineup to 3 nm this year, setting the stage for an even swifter 2 nm rollout. Counterpoint's Parv Sharma says the push toward 3 nm and 2 nm nodes is fueled by the need for faster AI inference and better power efficiency on smartphones, though it lifts wafer costs and raises total semiconductor content per device. TSMC plans tape-outs for 2 nm in H2 2025 and mass production in 2026, paving the way for flagship A-series, Snapdragon and Dimensity chips off the same line. TSMC's foundry dominanceowning roughly two-thirds of the market in Q4 2024 and an estimated 87% of sub-5 nm SoC shipments next yearshould extend to 89% by 2028, says Counterpoint director Brady Wang. That control gives TSMC and its chip-designer partners a clear path to deliver advanced-node scale, though rising node complexity may pressure yields and enlarge capex requirements. Why It Matters: The transition to 2 nm will define the next wave of smartphone performance, battery life and AI features, with TSMC's scale and Apple's design muscle setting the competitive bar.
