Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy is 31% faster than Dimensity 9500 by our estimate.

The score is our own estimate from the specs (cores, threads, clocks, architecture generation), not a benchmark run. 100 = the fastest CPU in our database. A phone without a fan drops its clocks under long load, so in long tasks (hours of gaming, video) it will be slower than the number shows.
