Qualcomm’s Snapdragon SoCs have long dominated the Android smartphone performance rankings, but MediaTek’s rapid advancements, especially with its Dimensity 9000 series, have leveled the playing field. The latest high-end chipsets from each — Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Dimensity 9300 — are virtually tied in performance.
For the second consecutive month, the Dimensity 9300 chip powers the top-performing smartphone, the Oppo Find X7, according to AnTuTu benchmarks. With a score of 2,195,036, it edges out its rivals. The Dimensity 9300’s edge could be its use of ARM’s powerful cores, specifically 4 x Cortex-X4 and 4 x Cortex-A720 cores.

The Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro, equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, comes in as a close second. The performance difference between the top two phones is just 37,000 points, which is a small margin in the flagship category. Asus typically releases ‘D’ variants of its ROG Phones with MediaTek chips a few months after the initial launch. The possible pairing of the gaming-focused hardware in the ROG Phone and the Dimensity 9300 in the upcoming release might add some interesting changes to the leaderboard.
