Apple’s next budget-tier iPhone, the iPhone 17e, has once again appeared in an early leak. This time around, the next generation budget iPhone from the brand has surfaced in a GeekBench listing, with a suspicious amount of RAM and lacklustre performance. So let’s check it out.

What the GeekBench Leak Claims (and Why It Raises Eyebrows)

According to the GeekBench 6 listing shared by leaker Abhishek Yadav on X (formerly Twitter), a device labelled iPhone99,11 was put through the benchmark test. This model could be the upcoming iPhone 17e model, which is the next budget phone from Apple. Earlier rumors had hinted at the iPhone 17e being equipped with a binned version of the A19 processor, and this synthetic performance reflects the same.

The GeekBench 6 listing shows a single core score of 2,560 points, while the multi core test had it achieve 8,553 points. The alleged Apple iPhone 17e was running on the iOS 26.1 operating system and 10GB of RAM. At first glance, those scores don’t seem terrible for a mid-range iPhone running Apple’s next-gen silicon. The bump in RAM from 8GB in the iPhone 16e to 10GB sounds like a welcome improvement, but only if it were true.

There are several red flags here:

• The base clock frequency of 3.76 GHz is lower than expected for a next-gen Apple chip.
• The device identifier (“iPhone99,11”) doesn’t match Apple’s usual naming logic.
• The motherboard name in the listing doesn’t match any recently known Apple parts, making it more likely this score was either spoofed or belongs to a different prototype entirely.

The post Apple iPhone 17e Benchmark Leak Shows 10GB RAM, But Is It Real? appeared first on Gizmochina.

Announced in September 2025, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is the company’s most powerful smartphone chipset until its successor arrives later this year. This flagship SoC already dominates some of the most popular benchmarks among all smartphone chipsets, and has been a strong choice for top-tier performance and excellent power efficiency.

Here, we’ll look at the benchmark scores of Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 from some popular and reliable platforms, including AnTuTu, Geekbench, and 3DMark.

Note: To obtain the benchmark scores, the tests have been performed on the iQOO 15, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 AnTuTu score

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered iQOO 15 achieves a total score of over 3.7 million on the AnTuTu benchmark (v11). The major contribution comes from the GPU, with a score of 1.4 million, while the CPU gets a little over a million. The memory and UX scores are also impressive at 435K and 827K, respectively.

While the iQOO 15 can’t reach the 4 million AnTuTu mark, the RedMagic 11 Pro, powered by the same chipset, does. This gaming smartphone unlocks the maximum performance of the device at the cost of high battery consumption, achieving an impressive 4,002,199 AnTuTu points.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Geekbench score

On Geekbench, the iQOO 15 (powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5) gets 3,649 points in the single-core test and 10,682 points in the multi-core test. These are solid Geekbench scores, which outperform MediaTek’s most powerful Dimensity 9500 chipset and, obviously, older Snapdragon chips with a big margin.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 3DMark score

The 3DMark Wild Life Extreme test shows results that are rather different from those of AnTuTu and Geekbench. Here, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered iQOO 15 reaches a high score of 7,240 and a low score of 3,219. Surprisingly, the Vivo X300 Pro, powered by Dimensity 9500, gets better scores.

The OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 15R, which are powered by older Snapdragon 8-series chipsets, also obtains higher low-score than the iQOO 15. What surprises me the most is that the iQOO 15 has the lowest stability of 44.5% of among all the devices the list.

Note that a chipset alone isn’t entirely responsible for the performance, as other aspects like OEM’s implementation, software optimizations, and cooling mechanism also play important roles. The result would be different on a different device powered by the same Qualcomm/MediaTek chipset.
