Motorola Edge X30 launched today in China, becoming the first smartphone powered by Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

The 4nm-based SoC has been the talk of the town for quite some time, with people debating the amount of performance increase that can be expected from the new chip. Today, we have the answer for you.

Motorola officially announced various benchmark scores of the Latest Moto Edge X30 at the launch event. The smartphone becomes the first to break one million points, at 1,061,361 points on AnTuTu, a known smartphone benchmarking platform. When uploaded to AnTuTu’s database, Moto Edge X30 will dethrone the Black Shark 4S Pro, which currently sits at the top with 875,382.

Compared to the Snapdragon 888, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 gains about 21% overall performance. This sizable performance gain can be credited to a couple of factors: the SD 8 Gen 1 being the first SoC built on Samsung‘s 4nm process while adopting the ARM v9 architecture. The CPU on board is a “1+3+8” architecture octa-core unit, with Cortex-X2 clocking in at 3Ghz, three Cortex-A710 cores running at 2.5Ghz, and 4 Cortex-A510 efficiency cores with a frequency of 1.8Ghz.

On the GPU side of things, Motorola has claimed that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 can reach 267fps in GFX Manhattan 3.0, which is about 60% higher than the 169fps of Snapdragon 888. This is possible due to the new Adreno 730 GPU, which is about 30% more powerful while being 25% more energy efficient than the previous generation (via).

After its official Chinese launch, the Motorola Edge X30 is expected to hit the global market under the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra moniker, so stay tuned as we will be covering any notable news regarding the new handset.

Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 benchmark result surfaces for the first time

Chipmaker Qualcomm revamped the naming scheme of its chips with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 primed to be a very popular choice for 2022 flagship devices from several phone brands. It was officially unveiled by Qualcomm days back and new performance details about the chipset have now appeared. The new benchmarks reflect how the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 compares with its predecessor, the Snapdragon 888, and Apple’s A15 Bionic.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 1

During the Qualcomm event where the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 was unveiled, it was showcased inside a reference platform device. The Geekbench 5 scores shared by PC Mag indicate the performance of the chip across several important metrics. Geekbench provides a cross-platform CPU performance benchmark with three results. There are slight variations between runs of each of the tests but these variations are not significant to affect the reliability of the results.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 scored 1,234 and 3,837, respectively for the Geekbench single-core and multi-core tests. Both Geekbench 5 scores for the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 were higher than those obtained for the Snapdragon 888 but still fall short of those of Apple’s A15 Bionic which powers the iPhone 13 series. From the scores, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset is still lower, performance-wise than Apple’s A14 Bionic, while it is almost at par with the Apple A13 Bionic which powers the iPhone 11 series.

Qualcomm had predicted a 20% performance improvement of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 over the Snapdragon 888, but this is not reflected in the new Geekbench 5 scores. Qualcomm will have to up its game to catch up with Apple whose chips are at least two generations ahead of the latest Qualcomm SoC. The scores are not fully definitive yet, since the device tested is not a commercial smartphone but a reference device. There could be some improvements in the current Geekbench 5 scores when an actual product powered by the chip is put through the Geekbench tests.

There are however improvements in GPU performance which is a great boon for gamers, as shown in the GFXBench 5 Aztec Ruins offscreen test, where the device outperformed the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 scores over a million points on AnTuTu

Qualcomm has confirmed that its next-gen flagship mobile SoC will be called Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The American chipmaker has even revealed that this silicon will be officially announced on November 30. Ahead of that, the chipset gets benchmarked on AnTuTu with over a million points.

The upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 has become the first Qualcomm mobile SoC to cross 1 million points (10,35,020 points) on AnTuTu Benchmark. This information comes from a screenshot shared by a Weibo profile called 科技晚8点. Unfortunately, the picture does not show the breakdown of the score in different categories.

It is worth noting that even the newly unveiled MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC scores over a million points (10,07,396 points) on AnTuTu Benchmark. However, it’s not as high as that of the yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon silicon. For comparison, last-gen Qualcomm and MediaTek chipsets can score around 850K (Snapdragon 888) and 690K (Dimensity 1200) respectively.

Though there’s still a performance difference between the two, they are better than their predecessors in terms of scores. Anyway, at the end of the day, benchmarks only tell half the story. The real-world performance depends on the smartphone’s hardware and software optimizations.

Having said that, what are your expectations of the forthcoming premium Android phones that will be featuring Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Dimensity 9000? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
