Qualcomm has finally announced its most powerful mobile chipset yet, the Snapdragon 8 Gen2. The chipset is expected to break many old benchmarks and set a new achievement for a mobile processor. Many brands after the official release, like OnePlus, had confirmed that they will be soon launching their smartphones with the newly announced chipset. Moto is one of them, the Moto X40 will soon land in the official market as one of the first flagships to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 chipset.

Anyway, the Lenovo Group General Manager for Mobile Division, Chen Jin, has shared the AnTuTu benchmark scores of the upcoming Moto X40 smartphone. The scores do give us an idea of the performance we can expect from both the device and the chipset. The Snapdragon 8 Gen2 will compete with the MediaTek Dimensity 9200 SoC. When we compared the AnTuTu benchmark scores of both chipsets, the former manages to score 1312901 in the test and the latter manages to score 1266101.

The test was run on the most latest edition of AnTuTu Benchmark, V.9.5.2. The results clearly show that the Snapdragon performs slightly better than the MediaTek. However, scores are not the only factor that can provide us with a comprehensive picture of the chipset’s performance. Because software optimization is important, various scores are visible on different devices, even while using the same chipset.

In any case, there aren’t any huge differences in the scores of the two chipsets. We should really wait for a thorough review of the devices once they hit the market. We hope that both will perform admirably and will not disappoint us. This time, the battle between MediaTek and Snapdragon will be a sight to behold. Let us see which chipset can dethrone the other.
