Exclusive: Snapdragon 8 Elite on realme GT7 Pro Scores 3 Million+ on AnTuTu; Beats Apple A18 Pro?

TL;DR

• The Snapdragon 8 Elite scored 3,025,991 on Antutu, outpacing the competition.
• It will be powering the upcoming realme GT7 Pro, launching soon in China and then India.
• We also get our first look at the realme GT7 Pro’s micro quad-curved display.
• The Snapdragon 8 Elite will officially be unveiled next week at the Snapdragon Summit.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite is making waves ahead of its official unveiling, with leaked benchmark scores setting new records. Now, in an exclusive leak in collaboration with OnLeaks, we’ve got our hands on the AnTuTu score of the realme GT7 Pro, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite. The chipset scored an astounding 3,025,991, making it the highest-performing Snapdragon chip to date. 

This marks a significant leap over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which scored around 2.1 million at its best. In comparison to Apple’s A18 Pro, which scored approximately 1.65 million on AnTuTu, the Snapdragon 8 Elite clearly outshines it in raw benchmarks. However, since AnTuTu uses different technologies on Android (Vulkan) and iOS (Metal), direct comparisons between these platforms should be taken with a grain of salt. 

The Snapdragon 8 Elite’s Geekbench results also leaked earlier, showing 3260 in single-core and 10051 in multi-core performance, along with 125 FPS in GFXBench and 166 FPS in DreamWorks Wild Life tests, surpassing the Dimensity 9400. The Geekbench scores of the Snapdragon 8 Elite are still higher than the A18 Pro, which scores 3,182 in single-core and 7,872 in multi-core (in our testing).

The Snapdragon 8 Elite is rumored to come in two versions: a standard edition with two cores at 4.09 GHz and six cores at 2.78 GHz, and an overclocked variant featuring two cores clocked at 4.32 GHz. Both versions will utilize the Adreno 830 GPU and are built on TSMC’s 3nm N3E process.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Upcoming Devices

The upcoming realme GT7 Pro will be one of the first devices to feature this powerhouse of a chipset, debuting later this month in China and, like we already told you, mid-November in India.

After the realme GT7 Pro, the Snapdragon 8 Elite will debut on the iQOO 13 in India. As mentioned in our exclusive leak, the iQOO 13 will be launching in India on December 03, 2024, becoming the second phone in India to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite.

Follwing the iQOO 13 would be the OnePlus 13, which will be unveiled by the end of December 2024 or early January 2025.

The Xiaomi 15 series will also debut with the Snapdragon 8 Elite very soon, but only in China. The India launch is expected to be next year, in January or February 2024.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite’s leaked benchmarks suggest a major performance leap that may set a new standard for flagship Android devices. It would also be the first time in years that Android flagships will beat Apple’s A18 Pro in raw performance. What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments section below.
