Geekbench entries show Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear Elite uses a five-core setup—one Cortex-A78C at 2.11GHz and four Cortex-A55 cores at 1.96GHz—plus an Adreno 622 GPU.
The 3nm wearable chip was tested with 4GB of RAM on Android 16, giving the clearest look yet at Qualcomm’s first smartwatch processor with a high-performance CPU core.
Benchmark results put single-core performance at 573 and multi-core at 1,069, topping Samsung’s Exynos W1000 by 54% and 56%, while GPU compute reached 1,459 versus 993—about 47% higher.
That gap could matter for Samsung, which Qualcomm previously named as a launch partner, because the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is widely expected to use the chip.
If it does, the new watch could pair that processor boost with rumored 5,000-nit brightness, 64GB of storage and an 800mAh battery.
