Last Friday, Qualcomm unveiled its new top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset to the world, promising a noticeable boost in performance with reduced power consumption. And although the novelty has already managed to be noted in AnTuTu tests , a much more complete test of the chip was carried out by XDA specialists, who received from ASUS an engineering sample of a smartphone based on it. The opponents were OnePlus 10 Pro (as a typical Android flagship) and Nubia Red Magic 7 (as a gaming phone with powerful active cooling), both running on Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
As you can see from the graphs, Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 outperformed RedMagic 7 in all performance tests, and the gap relative to OnePlus 10 Pro is even greater. But in the energy efficiency test, the newcomer still lost to the brainchild of OnePlus, but only because the latter uses an aggressive throttling system that suffocates the chip. As a result, the researchers claim that Qualcomm’s claims of a 10% increase in CPU performance and -20% power consumption are similar to the truth. Nevertheless, the real state of affairs will be known only with the release of the first mass devices.
