Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1
Benchmarks & Specs

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is a processor that was released in the first quarter of 2022 and is mainly used in top smartphones. The following smartphones, among others, are equipped with the processor: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4, Huawei Mate 50, Motorola X30 or the ASUS Zenfone 9. It is based on the chiplet design and on the ARMv9-A64 (64 bit) instruction set.

The processor consists of 8 cores composed of a hybrid Prime / big-LITTLE core architecture. In detail, there is a prime processor core (codename Kryo Prime) clocking at 3.00 gigahertz, 3 high-performance cores (Kryo Gold) clocking at 2.50 gigahertz and 4 efficiency cores (codename Kryo Silver) clocking at 1.80 gigahertz. The cores do not support hyperthreading and the processor cannot be overclocked either. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 has a 2.00 megabyte level 2 cache and a 6.00 megabyte level 3 cache.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 scores 1229 single-core points and 3828 multi-core points in the Geekbench 5 benchmark.

The in-house Qualcomm Adreno 730 is used as the internal graphics unit. This iGPU clocks at 0.82 gigahertz and was released together with the processor in the first quarter of 2022. The iGPU achieves a FP32 (single precision) computing power of 2236 Gigaflops, which is significantly faster than the iGPU of the Apple Bionic A15 with 5 GPUs (1500 GigaFLOPS), which was released in the third quarter of 2021. The graphics unit supports the decoding of almost all video codecs in hardware, only the AV1 codec is not yet supported.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 has 4 memory channels that control 16 gigabytes of LPDDR5-6400 RAM.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 can run Android or Windows 10 (ARM version) as the operating system.
