YouTube channel Geekerwan conducted early gaming tests on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor within a prototype OnePlus 15 device. The evaluation focused on the redesigned Adreno 840 graphics unit, which features updated architecture and enhanced memory systems. Performance results demonstrated competitive frame rates across multiple gaming titles, with Honor of Kings reaching 119.9 frames per second and Delta Force achieving nearly 165 fps. Benchmark scores revealed 12,352 points in multicore testing and 3,836 points for single-core performance on Geekbench 6.
Power efficiency emerged as a standout characteristic during testing sessions. Honor of Kings consumed merely 3.47 watts, while demanding games like Delta Force required less than 5 watts of power. This reduced energy consumption translates to decreased thermal output and improved sustained performance during extended gaming periods. The processor competes directly with Apple's A19 Pro and MediaTek's Dimensity 9500 chips.
