New Snapdragon Wear Elite Chip Signals Faster Galaxy Watch Ultra 2

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear Elite processor, codenamed Vienna, has surfaced in Geekbench listings as a 3nm smartwatch chip with a 5-core CPU (1x Cortex-A78C at 2.11GHz and 4x Cortex-A55 at 1.96GHz) and an Adreno 622 GPU (1 CU). In a test device with 4GB RAM running Android 16, it scored about 573 in single-core and 1,069 in multi-core, outperforming Samsung’s Exynos W1000 (371/683) by roughly 54% and 56% respectively, with the GPU compute score around 1,459 vs 993 (≈47% faster). If used in the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, the chip could bring a meaningful performance boost, alongside rumors of a brighter display (up to 5,000 nits), 64GB storage, and an 800mAh battery for longer life.
