Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Benchmark Test: Antutu and Geekbench Scores

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 flagship chipset has finally been revealed. It’s the Snapdragon’s most powerful chipset to date. There are a lot of exciting changes in it. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 has reportedly addressed the issues present in Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset. Not only is it Qualcomm, but it’s also the most powerful Android chipset we’ve seen so far. Many smartphones from OEMs such as Xiaomi and realme are about to be released with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor. We have talked about the benchmark scores of this flagship chipset in this post.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 features

Regarding specifications and features, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 has the ARM Cortex X2 primary core, the most powerful in the ARM Cortex family. Qualcomm’s most powerful Adreno GPU is also included. When compared to the previous generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G chipset, Qualcomm claims that Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 offers up to a 20% increase in performance and up to a 30% increase in power efficiency. Not only that, but it also includes Qualcomm’s 7th generation AI Engine, which is said to have two times the shared memory and a two-times faster tensor accelerator than the Snapdragon 888’s 6th generation AI Engine, resulting in better per-watt performance.

The chipset is manufactured using Samsung’s 4nm fabrication process, which uses less energy than 5nm chipsets. Compared to its predecessor, the new Adreno GPU is expected to deliver a 30% increase in graphics rendering and a 25% reduction in power consumption. That concludes the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset’s features and specifications. Let’s talk about the chipset’s benchmark score now.

What is the Antutu score of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1?
