Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 performs on par with Apple A19 Pro in official benchmarks

Qualcomm has shown off some Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 benchmarks. In Geekbench, it is up to 19% faster than its last-gen counterpart, and the chip performs on par with Apple's newest A19 Pro.

Tell us the power efficiency before you get too carried away. It'll use way more power to match the A19 Pro SoC, and requires more cores to just beat multi-core performance of the Apple.

There's a slide from Geekerwan's video showing its CPU score vs wattage with the A19 Pro. It plots roughly the same as apples, if you look at the gradient/slope, so the efficiency seems roughly the same. At the wattage apple is at, it took would score roughly the same.

I think this was just a case of Qualcomm trying to get higher number better for benchmark scores and pushing the SoC way past it's most optimal efficiency point.
