Flagship Mobile Processor (SoC)

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5

Silicon Score:9.8 / 10

Score Synchronization: The performance rating (9.8) and graphics capability scored on Honor Magic 8 Ultimate are directly calibrated against the empirical benchmark standards of this Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 platform.

What It Is & Microarchitecture

Engineered with second-generation custom Qualcomm Oryon Phoenix CPU cores clocked up to 4.50 GHz, a sliced-architecture Adreno 840 GPU with dedicated GMEM cache, and an 80+ TOPS Hexagon NPU. Built on TSMC second-generation 3nm FinFET (N3P) lithography.

Fabrication Node & Materials

Manufactured on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's enhanced N3P fabrication line using High-NA Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) photolithography operating at a 13.5nm wavelength. This yields over 220 million transistors per square millimeter with unprecedented gate-oxide consistency.
