realme’s next flagship, the realme GT 8 Pro, is expected to launch in India really soon. We got our hands on the device early to test its benchmark performance and we’ve got some impressive results. Our results show massive jumps over last year’s GT 7 Pro. Let’s take a closer look.
The realme GT 8 Pro achieved an incredible 3,748,836 on AnTuTu Benchmark v11.0.5. That’s a huge leap from the GT 7 Pro’s 2.7 million, even after accounting for the newer benchmark version. Breaking it down, the CPU scored 1,084,552, GPU 1,365,881, memory 477,662, and UX 820,741. These numbers indicate balanced optimization across performance-heavy areas like gaming, multitasking, and AI too.
The Geekbench 6 results are equally impressive. The GT 8 Pro managed 3,480 in single-core and 10,204 in multi-core performance. Compared to the GT 7 Pro’s 2,888 and 9,062, that’s a 20% gain in single-core and around 13% in multi-core performance. That kind of boost will be noticeable in gaming and perhaps even day-to-day usage for some users.
During testing, the CPU temperature stayed around 36.9°C, while the battery remained cool at 5.1°C with just 6% power usage, showing realme’s improved thermal control and energy efficiency. From what these early numbers suggest, the GT 8 Pro brings some solid improvements in performance over its predecessor.
