Snapdragon 8 Elite Antutu Scores Leak; Qualcomm’s Answer to Apple A18 Pro?
Oct. 19, 2024The Snapdragon 8 Elite (aka Snapdragon 8 Gen 4) will soon be unveiled as Qualcomm’s latest and greatest. However, ahead of the launch next week, we get to see the chipset’s AnTuTu score, and it’s bonkers. Moreover, as it turns out, it’s all set to give Apple’s A18 Pro a serious run for its money.
The previous generationSnapdragon 8 Gen 3’s benchmarksalso see it performing slightly more on AnTuTu. However, the Snapdragon 8 Elite delivers a major leap and scores more on Geekbench as well.
Going by ourA18 Pro benchmarks, while it scores slightly more on the Geekbench single-core test at 3358 points, it fails to keep up in the multi-core test, scoring 8184 points.
Recently, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra was alsospottedon Geekbench carrying the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Additionally, the iQOO 13 is also expected to flaunt the chipset. However, Qualcomm is not the only one buckling up. The recently launchedMediaTek Dimensity 9400seemingly manages to overthrow the A18 Pro in multi-core performance as well.
This is the first time we have seen Snapdragon lock horns and even surpass Apple’s latest in some regard. Meanwhile, Samsung is also working to fine-tune its upcomingExynos 2500chipset, and who knows what that could bring to the table.
All-in-all, we are looking at a whole new level of smartphone performance which we probably won’t even be able to fully utilize. While I’m certainly happy to see Snapdragon achieve new heights, I’m worried about how much more convoluted the Snapdragon 8 Elite will makeQualcomm’s naming scheme. Well, here’s to hoping that it’s called the 8 Gen 4 instead.
With that said, what do you think about the Snapdragon 8 Elite’s AnTuTu scores? Let’s hear you out in the comments down below.
