The Snapdragon 8 Elite (also known as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4) is set to debut as Qualcomm’s latest flagship chipset. Just ahead of its official launch next week, leaked AnTuTu scores reveal its impressive performance, positioning it as a strong competitor to Apple’s A18 Pro.
A leaked image from OnLeaks and Smartprix shows the AnTuTu benchmark results for the Realme GT 7 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max side by side. For context, the Realme GT 7 Pro is confirmed for release in China later this month and will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which scored an impressive 3,025,991 points on AnTuTu. In comparison, Apple’s A18 Pro scored significantly lower, with 1,651,728 points.
The previous Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 also delivered strong AnTuTu performance, but the Snapdragon 8 Elite takes a significant leap forward, posting higher scores on both AnTuTu and Geekbench.
Geekbench 6 scores for the OnePlus 13, featuring the Snapdragon 8 Elite, recently appeared online. It achieved impressive results, scoring 3,216 in the single-core test and 10,051 in the multi-core test.
Comparing these to our benchmarks for the A18 Pro, Apple’s chipset slightly edges out in the single-core test with 3,358 points but falls behind in multi-core performance, scoring only 8,184 points.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra was recently spotted on Geekbench, equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, and the upcoming iQOO 13 is also expected to showcase this powerhouse chipset. But Qualcomm isn’t the only one raising the stakes. The newly launched MediaTek Dimensity 9400 also seems to edge out the A18 Pro in multi-core performance.
This marks the first time Snapdragon has not only challenged but even surpassed Apple’s latest chipset in certain aspects. Meanwhile, Samsung is fine-tuning its upcoming Exynos 2500, which could introduce even more competition to the mix.
In summary, we’re witnessing a new level of smartphone performance that most of us probably won’t even fully utilize. While it’s exciting to see Snapdragon reach these new heights, the Snapdragon 8 Elite also raises questions about Qualcomm’s increasingly complex naming scheme. Here’s hoping they’ll keep it simple and call it the 8 Gen 4 instead.
