What is up with Qualcomm's naming schemes. We already got the 8 Elite Gen 5, now we got this..

Small clarification here: The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V Series is slightly underclocked compared to the standard version, with 2x 4.60 GHz Oryon Gen 3 Prime cores and 6x 3.62 GHz Oryon Gen 3 Performance cores.

The previous 8egen 4 still has a higher gaming performance score than the 5V. Does that Make the gen 4 better at heavy gaming?

Kay, I haven't gotten my hands on an 8E5 V device, but as far as I know, this stripped down GPU has the almost same configuration as the Adreno 829 on the non-Elite 8G5, with the only difference being the HPM (GPU cache) where 8E5 V has 12MB compared to 2MB. I already tested the 8G5 and it was slightly worse than 8 Elite, so I would say the 8E5 V is neck and neck to the 8 Elite, and both can handle heavy workload effortlessly.
