Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 tripled its predecessor

On the second day of the Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit 2023 taking place in Hawaii, Qualcomm unveiled significant details about its new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile platform designed for top-tier Android smartphones. The highlight was the impressive performance statistics, which show that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has achieved over a 200% performance boost compared to its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, introduced just under two years ago.

Qualcomm demonstrated the prowess of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 by running tests using five renowned benchmarking tools: Antutu v10 benchmark, Geekbench 6, 3DMark Wild Life Extreme, 3DMark Solar Bay, and AI Mark. Among these, the results from the Antutu v10 benchmark were particularly notable. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 recorded an unprecedented score of 2,139,281, making it the first-ever chipset to surpass the 2 million mark on the Antutu benchmark. For context, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 devices previously recorded scores below 1 million in the same test.

A comparison was conducted to illustrate the evolution of the Snapdragon series' performance. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 showed a 233% performance boost over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in the Antutu test, essentially making it more than double as powerful. When delving into the scores from other benchmarks, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 achieved a multi-core score of 7501 and a single-core score of 2329 in the Geekbench 6. Meanwhile, in the 3DMark Wild Life Extreme, it marked 5338, and in 3DMark Solar Bay, it reached a score of 8597. Notably, the device only heated up to 39 degrees Celsius even after three consecutive runs of the 3DMark Solar Bay. Wrapping up the benchmarks, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 topped the AI Mark with a score of 240,147, outclassing 99% of the competing devices in the smartphone realm.
