There are still weeks to go until the official launch, but Qualcomm’s next flagship chip has been making headlines for some time. This time something more “tangible” emerges thanks to a Digital Chat Station leak: the insider reports an AnTuTu score for the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro surpassing 4.83 million points, with a screenshot showing the breakdown of the individual tested components.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro score in detail: a sample on Antutu
According to the leaked screenshot, obtained with AnTuTu V11.1.4, the chip identified with the designation SM8975 would have totalled:
- Total score: 4.835.412 points
- CPU: 1.368.930 points
- GPU: 1.854.826 points, with Adreno 850 GPU
The chip would be built on a 2 nm process, the same next-generation manufacturing node already expected for several top-end flagships arriving by the end of the year.
How much does it improve over the previous generation
The leak indicates a score of about the 6% higher than the current Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which sit at over 4.5 million points on AnTuTu.
An increase not huge on paper, but still in line with what is typically expected from a manufacturing process upgrade rather than a radical generational leap.
Remember that besides the flagship version, a non-“Pro” variant of the chip is also expected: in the past the existence of the code SM8950 has emerged, which should correspond to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 standard.
On which devices could it debut
The new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro would be expected onboard several flagship devices arriving between late September and early October 2026 (in China), including:
