Qualcomm has recently introduced its Snapdragon Wear Elite chip for smartwatches, with Samsung and Motorola as initial partners. This development suggested that Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 might feature this new processor. Recent leaks from the Geekbench database have unveiled the chip’s specifications, codenamed Vienna. It boasts a five-core CPU, including one Cortex-A78C core running at 2.11GHz and four Cortex-A55 cores at 1.96GHz, alongside an Adreno 622 GPU. Testing shows the chip is paired with 4GB of RAM and operates on Android 16. The Snapdragon Wear Elite, built on a 3nm process, surpasses Samsung’s Exynos W1000 in performance, achieving a 54% higher single-core score and a 56% higher multi-core score on Geekbench. Additionally, its GPU outperforms the Exynos W1000’s Mali-G68 by 47% in compute tests. If implemented in the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, this chip could significantly enhance performance compared to its predecessor.
