Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Achieves a Record-Breaking 2 Million+ Score on Antutu Benchmark

Qualcomm has sent shockwaves through the tech world with its latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, boasting astonishing performance improvements. With several benchmark scores revealed, it's evident that this new processor has raised the bar significantly.

Antutu Benchmark Breakthrough

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3's performance is nothing short of remarkable, as it achieved a record-breaking score of 2,139,281 on the Antutu benchmark. This is a milestone, marking the first time a chipset has officially crossed the 2 million mark on Antutu. To put this achievement into perspective, the previous generation, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, scored less than 1 million on Antutu. The performance improvement is staggering, with the Gen 3 outpacing its predecessor by a whopping 233%.

Here's a quick comparison:

Impressive Geekbench Scores

Geekbench 6 results also reflect the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3's prowess, with a multi-core score of 7501 and a single-core score of 2329. This multi-core performance rivals Apple's A17 Pro chipset, though it lags behind slightly in single-core performance.

Outstanding AI Capabilities

The standout feature of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is its AI performance. It garnered a staggering 240,147 points on the AI Mark benchmark, solidifying its position as the fastest chipset for AI processing.

These benchmark scores are certainly impressive, but it's important to note that they were achieved on a prototype smartphone. Real-world performance may vary depending on the specific device and optimizations by phone manufacturers.

Impending Market Impact

Xiaomi has already announced the Xiaomi 14 and the 14 Pro as the world's first devices to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. Following closely, the iQOO 12 is set to launch on November 7. During the Snapdragon Summit 2023, Qualcomm revealed that they've partnered with more than 15 Android OEMs to introduce devices powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
