The Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 is a high-end chipset from Qualcomm. It features a powerful octa-core CPU with up to 3.2GHz speed and a capable Adreno 730 GPU for a smooth gaming experience. It has the same architecture as the original Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, but Qualcomm has fine-tuned the CPU and GPU to deliver better performance.
To see how the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 stacks up with its competitors, we tested it through multiple benchmarks such as AnTuTu and Geekbench. Let’s look at the numbers.
[Note: The following benchmark tests were conducted on the Poco F5 Pro (powered by Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1).]
Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 AnTuTu score
AnTuTu is a popular benchmarking tool that evaluates a device’s performance by running a series of tests across multiple components, including CPU, GPU, memory, and UX (user experience). The overall score represents the combined strength of these individual tests.
On the AnTuTu benchmark (version 10), the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1-powered Poco F5 Pro scored above 1.3 million points. As for the breakdown, the CPU scored 339,745 points, the GPU scored 482,109 points, the memory scored 237,702 points, and the user experience (UX) got 241,869 points.
| AnTuTu score | 1,301,426 |
| CPU | 339,745 |
| GPU | 482,109 |
| Memory | 237,702 |
| UX | 241,869 |
Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 Geekbench score
Geekbench is a widely used benchmarking tool for measuring the CPU capability of a device. It performs real-world and synthetic tests, such as image processing, machine learning, and file compression, to assess how well a processor handles various workloads.
On Geekbench (version 6), the Poco F5 Pro, driven by Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, claimed 1,732 points in the single-core test and 4,361 points in the multi-core performance.
