Yesterday, at the Snapdragon Summit 2023, Qualcomm unveiled its top-tier Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile platform. This cutting-edge system-on-chip (SoC) features a novel 1+5+2 microarchitecture, consisting of a powerful 1 x Kryo Prime Arm Cortex-X4-based CPU running at speeds of up to 3.3GHz, 5 x Kryo Performance CPUs, comprising 3 x A720-based CPUs capable of reaching 3.2GHz and 2 x A720-based CPUs with a maximum clock speed of 3.0GHz, as well as 4 x Kryo Efficiency A520-based CPUs, which can operate at speeds up to 2.3GHz.
The CPU claims a 30% increase in performance and a 20% increase in power efficiency, while the Adreno GPU offers a 25% increase in performance with a 25% improvement in power efficiency. Additionally, it shows a remarkable 98% increase in AI performance and a 40% increase in performance per watt.
The device is manufactured using TSMC’s cutting-edge 4nm process technology. We had the opportunity to test the smartphone during the event, and now we have certified benchmark results to share.
It offers full support for the Snapdragon Elite gaming feature set and introduces new hardware-accelerated ray tracing capabilities, including global illumination.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 reference device features a 6.65-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 144Hz. It is equipped with 24GB LPDDR5x RAM, 512GB UFS 4.0 storage, and a 4192mAh battery. The benchmark results are provided by Qualcomm, and the final scores represent the average of three iterations.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 AnTuTu Benchmark 10 Score
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 achieved an impressive score of 2.13 million points on the AnTuTu 10 benchmark, surpassing the performance of the iQOO 11, which is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, according to our first test this year. In contrast, the Vivo X90 Pro equipped with the Dimensity 9200 chipset scored 1,500,091 points. Recent reports indicate that the Dimensity 9300 has achieved a score of 2.05 million points on the AnTuTu benchmarks.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Geekbench 6 Single-Core
The Geekbench 5 single-core CPU benchmark results of the iPhone 15 Pro Max with the Apple A17 Pro and the iPhone 15 Plus with the A16 Bionic outperform the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. However, compared to other Android phones, they still exhibit better performance.
