Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 hits Geekbench
Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 over a month ago as its main mid-range chipset for the year, and a direct successor to the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4. The chipset is expected to power a slew of devices this year, including Xiaomi's upcoming Redmi Note 17 Pro 5G, and has now made its first trip to Geekbench.
As seen on the Geekbench website, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 was tested aboard an Honor device with the model number "BSN-AN00". That internal code is consistent with filings for the Honor X80 Pro Max. The actual CPU results are nothing impressive, however, as the Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 only achieves a single-core score of 1,095 and a multi-core score of 3,355.
Both of those scores are identical to what the Honor Magic 8 Lite—powered by a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4—managed in our review tests. That phone scored 1,112 and 3,124 on Geekbench's single-core and multi-core CPU tests, respectively. Evidently, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 does not offer a significant uplift in CPU performance, compared to the chipset it replaces.
The listing confirms a few other details, notably that the tested Honor X80 Pro Max unit sports 8 GB of memory and runs Android 16. An Adreno 812 provides graphical computing power, and Qualcomm claims it's about 20% more powerful than the Adreno 810 on the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4.
