Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 will be clocked at 5GHz
The Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 or the 8 Gen 5, codenamed "kaanapali" (SM-8850) will keep its predecessor's 2+6 configuration & will be manufactured by TSMC on its 3nm node. However, its P-cores will be clocked at 5.0 GHz, while the E-cores will operate at 4.0 GHz. Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 has its P-cores running at 4.32GHz (AB version) and E-cores at 3.53GHz
The single-core of 8 Gen 5 is expected to be above 4,000 scores in Geekbench 6. However, acc to rumours, 8 Gen 5 will likely be a minor revision while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 is expected to get some big boost.

BREAKING: Google Tensor G4 Spotted on Geekbench with PowerVR GPU
In a surprising twist, an early prototype of the Tensor G4 with a PowerVR GPU instead of Mali-G715 graphics has arrived on Geekbench. Many people assumed that its the Tensor G5, but in reality its a very early tensor G4 prototype to test and compile tensor new GPU drivers ahead of it final build.
According to some Google AOSP Dev, those chip on Geekbench are just basically tensor G4 with a different NPU under TSMC. So this is just a prototype for Google and Imagination developers to test and optimize the new drivers for the IMG DXT GPU. For the Tensor G5, Google has NOT even finalized the SoC core layout yet (especially the NPU).

Xiaomi Successfully Taped Out China's First 3nm Smartphone SoC
According to Beijing Satellite TV on October 20, Tang Jianguo, Chief Economist of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, said that Xiaomi has successfully taped out the country's first 3nm mobile phone system-level chip.
Tape-out is basically the final stage of the design process before it is sent for mass production. So it is possible that Xiaomi will launch its own 3nm chipset next year. Acc to rumours, it will perform similar to Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 & would have a 5G modem from UNISOC. It would be manufactured by TSMC on its 3nm node.
Last time Xiaomi made it's own SoC was in 2017 with the Mi 5C which was powered by Xiaomi Pengpai S1 chipset. This was an octa-core SoC manufactured on a 28nm process, with the big core running at 2.2GHz and equipped with a Mali T860 quad-core GPU.

Google Pixel Watch 5 might be powered by custom Google Tensor chipset
Source
After the news of Google working on custom architecture for Tensor SoCs for their Pixel smartphones, Google might also be putting a custom chip in its smartwatches instead of using Qualcomm's Snapdragon Wear SoCs for wearables. The chip is code-named “NPT” (Newport Beach) and the intended release date is 2026.
CPU:
• 1x Arm Cortex-A78
• 2x Arm Cortex-A55
Google might also be assessing RISC-V as a potential alternative as well. The other details currently remain unknown as all these news are coming from a massive leak of a Google Internal Presentation from last year, which got leaked recently. Since the leaks are quite early, the final specifications could change in the future

I can't honestly recommend using an old smart phone for anything unless it is properly degoogled. In fact it would likely still be listening if not stored in a place that muffles sound and off.

For those using Fedora, the latest Update will, in most cases, break your Bluetooth. Bluetooth will start, but it will not detect and configure any existing or new devices.
After researching this problem, and considering a Timeshift Rollback (of a 5.6 GB Upgrade), I tried booting into the last Kernel, and the bluetooth immediately came alive, and detected my Devices.
There IS a fix coming for this in the near future. Just be advised.
