Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip performance details have leaked online, weeks ahead of the expected debut of the upcoming flagship smartphone processor. This is not the first time this upcoming mobile chip has appeared in performance benchmarks online, but the latest test shows that the chip has passed the 2 million mark on the AnTuTu benchmark. The chipmaker has yet to officially reveal details of the so-called Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, which is expected to be unveiled at the upcoming Snapdragon Summit 2023 event later this month.
in a Post on WeiboChinese Weibo website tipster Digital Chat Station says there may be significant performance differences between the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and its predecessor. Sources said the benchmark details exceeded 2 million points. The CPU performance benchmark score exceeds 440,000 points, and the GPU score is greater than 840,000 points.

For reference, last year’s second-generation Snapdragon 8 AnTuTu score was around 1.6 million points, of which the CPU test was about 380,000 points, while the GPU score was around 600,000 points. The source also claims that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will feature “home-developed GPU improvements,” which may explain the massive performance increase compared to the CPU.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3’s purported score is much higher than the previously reported score of 17,71,106 points. At the time, the chipset had already scored higher than the top three devices at the time – iQoo Neo 8 Pro (1,358,352), Oppo Find X6 Pro (1,307,816) and OnePlus 11 5G (1,324,440).
Sources pointed out that the benchmark was run not on typical smartphone hardware, but on a prototype phone that included the new chip along with 16GB of LPDDR5T RAM and enhanced 1TB of UFS 4.0 built-in storage.
Announced earlier this year, LPDDR5T (Low Power Double Data Rate 5 Turbo) RAM supports operation at 9.6Gbps data rate, which is 16% faster than LPDDR5X RAM. However, Digital Chat Station points out that the devices that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 might run next are likely to feature LPDDR5X RAM that is also available on current flagship smartphones, which means the benchmarks on future smartphones are unlikely to be as high as this prototype device.
