Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Benchmarks Show New Chip Beats iPhone 15 Pro Max in Geekbench Multi-Core Test

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 was launched by Qualcomm earlier this week as the company’s newest flagship mobile processor. We can expect the new chipset to feature on flagship smartphones that will debut in the coming weeks and months — starting with the Xiaomi 14 that will be launched in China on Thursday. According to Qualcomm, the new octa-core chip will offer a 30 percent increase in performance and a 20 percent improvement in power efficiency over its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Now, benchmarks of the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 have been published by the chipmaker, giving us an idea of how it fares against existing smartphones.

Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is an octa-core mobile processor comprising an Arm Cortex-X4 Prime core at a peak clock speed of 3.3GHz, three Cortex-A720 performance cores at 3.2GHz and two Cortex-A720 cores at 3GHz, along with two Cortex-A520 efficiency cores at 2.3GHz. It is a 4nm processor, unlike Apple’s latest A17 Bionic chip that is fabricated using TSMC’s 3nm process technology.

The chipmaker revealed on Thursday that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 scores between 2,320 and 2,229 points on the Geekbench 6 single-core benchmark test. This figure is higher than the score of nearly every other Android smartphone currently available, including the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, OnePlus 11, and Google Pixel 8 Pro. However, Qualcomm’s new chip lags behind the iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro Max, that score around 2,600 and 2,900 points, respectively.

However, in the multi-core Geekbench 6 benchmark test, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 scores between 7,439 and 7,526 points. This places the new smartphone chip ahead of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which has lower scores (around 7,200 points) and iPhone 15 Plus (around 6,400 points). Other handsets powered by last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip score have even lower multi-core benchmark scores, well under the 6,000-point mark.

In the AnTuTu benchmark test, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 scored between 2.13 million and 2.14 million points — this score is higher than every single smartphone released by smartphone makers with the Snapdragon Gen 2 chipset — including the iQoo 11 (16 million points), Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (15.2 million points), Xiaomi 13 Pro (15.3 million points), and OnePlus 11 (15 million points).

It is worth noting that these benchmark scores are from Qualcomm’s reference device, a smartphone that is powered by the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip paired with 24GB LPDDR5x RAM at 4.8GHz and 512GB of UFS 4 storage. The reference device has a 6.65-inch full-HD (1,080×2,340 pixels) AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and packs a 4,192mAh battery. We should can expect to see more benchmarks from handsets running the new chip in the coming weeks and months, starting with the Xiaomi 14 that will be launched in China on Thursday.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Chip Tipped to Cross 2 Million Mark on AnTuTu Benchmark Test With This Hardware Change

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip performance details have leaked online, weeks ahead of the expected debut of the upcoming processor for flagship smartphones. This is not the first time that the upcoming mobile chipset has been spotted in performance benchmark tests online, but the latest tests indicate that the chip has surpassed the 2 million mark on the AnTuTu benchmark test. The chipmaker is yet to officially reveal details of the purported Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip that is expected to be unveiled at the upcoming Snapdragon Summit 2023 event later this month.

In a post on Weibo, the Chinese microblogging website, tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese) suggested that there could be a significant difference in performance between the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and its predecessor. The benchmark details crossed 2 million points, the tipster claims. The CPU performance benchmark score was over 440,000 points, while the GPU was greater than 840,000 points.

For reference, the AnTuTu score of last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 was around 1.6 million points, with roughly 380,000 points in the CPU test, while the GPU score was around 600,000 points. The tipster also claims that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will feature “self-developed GPU improvements”, which might explain the bigger jump in performance, compared to the CPU.

The purported score of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is much higher than the previous reported score, which was 17,71,106 points. At the time, the score of the chipset was already higher than the top three devices at the time — the iQoo Neo 8 Pro (1,358,352), Oppo Find X6 Pro (1,307,816), and OnePlus 11 5G (1,324,440).

The tipster notes that typical smartphone hardware was not used to run the benchmark test — a prototype handset was utilised, comprising the new chip along with 16GB of LPDDR5T RAM and an enhanced version of 1TB of UFS 4.0 inbuilt storage.

Announced earlier this year, LPDDR5T (Low Power Double Data Rate 5 Turbo) RAM supports operations at a 9.6Gbps data rate, 16 percent faster than LPDDR5X RAM. However, Digital Chat Station points out that the devices that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 might run next are likely to feature LPDDR5X RAM that is also available on current flagship smartphones, which means the benchmarks on future smartphones are unlikely to be as high as this prototype device.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Benchmark Score Hints at Big Improvement in Graphics Performance

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset is expected to be unveiled by the chipmaker at its upcoming Snapdragon Summit 2023 event next month. The company has not yet revealed any details of the anticipated successor to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC that was unveiled last year, but several leaks related to its performance have surfaced online in recent months. Now, a benchmark of the purported chipset has surfaced online, giving us an idea of what to expect from the next flagship mobile processor from Qualcomm.

A listing for the purported Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (via tipster Ice Universe) was posted to the benchmarking site Geekbench on Monday. The listing is titled Qualcomm Pineapple for arm64 and refers to the same codename for the chipset that is expected to debut as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 next month. Qualcomm is yet to confirm the name of its next smartphone chip.

According to the entry, the Geekbench 6 Vulkan score for the chip is 15,434 points in the Vulkan test. This is much higher than the score for two gaming smartphones with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 that were released last year. The most recent entry for the Nubia Z50S Pro indicates a score of 10,125 points, while the Asus ROG Phone 7 Ultimate scored 9,101 points.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC that powered most flagship smartphones in 2023 is equipped with an Adreno 740 GPU, and the next-generation chipset is expected to feature an Adreno 750 GPU. The Geekbench scores indicate that the graphics performance on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC will be around 50 percent higher than its predecessor.

Back in June, an AnTuTu benchmark listing for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 was spotted on the Chinese microblogging website Weibo, with a score of 17,71,106 points. The score was much higher than all the top-ranking devices at the time, including the iQoo Neo 8 Pro (13,58,352), OnePlus 11 5G (13,24,440), and Oppo Find X6 Pro (13,07,816). 

However, it is worth taking these scores with a pinch of salt as smartphones launched with the upcoming chipset could offer varying levels of performance based on their build quality, thermal management technology, and software optimisation. We can expect to learn more about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset in the days leading to its debut at the Snapdragon Summit 2023 event in October.
