Qualcomm claims to have the fastest smartphone chip ever and here’s the evidence

Qualcomm’s next-gen mobile processor is here, and it looks like an absolute unit. The Snapdragon 8 Elite sports a return to a custom CPU design, a brand-new GPU architecture, and even snappier AI smarts. If you’re wondering how all this compares to today’s best smartphones, Qualcomm has some preliminary benchmark figures to share with us.

Retail smartphones aren’t available yet, so Qualcomm benchmarked the chip on a reference smartphone. Its specs include the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chip with standard 4.32GHz Prime and 3.53GHz Performance CPU clock speeds. It’s paired with 24GB LPDDR5X RAM (4.8Gbps), 1TB UFS4.0 storage, and a 6.8-inch 144Hz AMOLED display — pretty high-end stuff.
