We’ve our very first Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered smartphone in for evaluate, and we’re keen to point out you the efficiency leap the brand new {hardware} platform presents. Whereas we can’t discuss specifics about this specific smartphone simply but, no one stops us from going by way of the benchmark scores it may well output.
Under, you will notice the perfect scores we have gotten from a number of of the highest {hardware} platforms throughout all our evaluations.
The typical numbers (not listed there for brevity) are a bit decrease, so preserve that in thoughts. These numbers are best-case eventualities. We did not embody the averages as a result of we had solely two (finest) factors of reference for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, too – one offered by Qualcomm as a reference rating and one other we captured ourselves utilizing this evaluate unit.
Alongside the common SM8550-AB mannequin of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 under, additionally, you will see the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SM8550-AC, which is the overclocked model that ships in some units you could see right here.
We begin with the CPU-intensive Geekbench check. As per Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 must be 30% sooner than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. We weren’t in a position to attain Qualcomm’s official numbers, sadly.
The leap in efficiency that we noticed was however a wholesome 22-23% in multi-core. The one core efficiency distinction was lower than stellar at about 7-8%.
Subsequent, GPU exams. Right here, Qualcomm claims the brand new Adreno 750 GPU is 25% sooner than the Adreno 740 contained in the SD 8 Gen 2. Plus, additionally it is extra power-efficient and will supply 40% higher raytracing.
In our offscreen testing, the brand new GPU was 16% higher than the one within the non-overclocked SD 8 Gen 2 within the 1440p OpenGL ES 3.1 check, 13% higher within the Vulkan check, and nearly 22% higher within the 1080p OpenGL ES 3.1 graphics benchmark.
We additionally obtained round 15% enchancment in comparison with the non-overclocked SD 8 Gen 2 within the 1440p 3D Mark Wild Life Excessive check, which runs offscreen once more.
Within the 3D Mark Photo voltaic Bay check, which is a ray tracing benchmark, we noticed a whopping 43.5% enchancment in efficiency from our Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 machine.
Lastly, who does not love an excellent AnTuTu comparability chart? This compound benchmark takes into consideration many points of the units, together with storage, RAM, show decision, and many others so it is not a fantastic instrument for evaluating platforms. It is a lot better to check particular units.
On this check, our thriller evaluate telephone, which makes use of the newest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, occupied the #1 spot in our all-time evaluate chart. Good!
So general, it is a fantastic displaying from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. We’re as much as 22% web efficiency enchancment in CPU and GPU efficiency in comparison with the perfect Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 units we have ever examined.
And it is price noting our check telephone didn’t get excessively sizzling throughout benchmarking, simply heat, which is one other promising factor for the brand new chipset.
Whereas the SD 8 Gen 1 mannequin had unimpressive sustained efficiency and stability, the SD 8 Gen 2 improved this facet, and it appears the SD 8 Gen 3 may very well be doing even higher.
We may have much more data for you subsequent week after our stress exams are over and we’re lastly allowed to disclose the id of this check machine with a full evaluate.
