According to a report, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 benchmark results have been released, and the SoC performs better than its predecessor, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888.
Additionally, the benchmarking results suggest that it outperforms the Samsung Exynos 2100 in terms of CPU performance, although it is still lagging behind Apple’s A15 Bionic chip.
The tests were carried out on Geekbench 5, PCMark Work 3.0, GFXBench 5, and Basemark Web, among other platforms. According to the report, when the chipset is released on smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy S22 and the OnePlus 10, it is expected to perform better.
A report by PCMag claims that the benchmarks were performed on a Qualcomm reference device at the Snapdragon Summit in San Francisco. According to the report, the power of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 900 is only marginally higher than that of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888.
Qualcomm claims that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 equivalent, which is featured on the Snapdragon 888, has 20 percent higher CPU performance and 30 percent more power efficiency.
According to the research, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 achieves a 15 percent improvement (3,837 points) over the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra’s Exynos 2100 (3,359 points), as well as an overall score that is competitive with the iPhone 12’s A14 Bionic (4,647 points).
Basemark Web scores are also better than those obtained with the previous Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, although they fall short of the results obtained with the Apple iPhone 13. On the other hand, the GFXBench (a GPU benchmark) revealed that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 outperformed all of its competitors.
There is no information available on the performance of the Google Tensor SoC when compared to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. However, when compared to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC, Google’s chipset outperformed the Qualcomm SoC in terms of graphics performance, according to Google.
