Qualcomm's Snapdragon Summit is just around the corner. During this event, the company is set to unveil its new flagship System on Chip (SoC). Recent information suggests that this new chip might not carry the name Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Instead, it could be called either the Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition or Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Benchmark Results of iQOO 13
As the release of this flagship SoC draws near, various smartphones expected to use it are appearing on Geekbench. One notable device is the iQOO 13, which has shown some intriguing benchmark results. The multi-core score of what is believed to be the Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition exceeds that of the Apple A18 Pro.
To provide context, the Apple A18 Pro achieved a maximum score of 8,568 points in our multi-core benchmark tests. In contrast, the upcoming Snapdragon flagship SoC within the iQOO 13 scored 10,052 in the same evaluation. This results in the Snapdragon chip having approximately a 17% advantage in multi-core performance.
Impressive Single-Core Performance
The single-core performance is also impressive. In this particular Geekbench test, the iQOO 13 recorded a score of 3,142. In comparison, in our benchmarks, the Apple A18 Pro reached a maximum of 3,479 points. Thus, Qualcomm's new 3 nm mobile chip is only about 10% behind in single-core performance.
This isn’t the first time the iQOO 13 has shown up on Geekbench. It was seen just two days ago, but the scores were lower than those in the latest listing. The improved results in this recent benchmark might be attributed to software enhancements.
Competition Heating Up
Additionally, the OnePlus 13, which is said to feature the same or a customized version of the next-gen Snapdragon 8 series chip, was also found on the benchmarking site. Its scores were comparable to those of the iQOO 13 in the recent tests. All these developments indicate that Qualcomm could intensify competition in performance with its forthcoming mobile SoC. However, it remains to be determined how they measure up in terms of efficiency.
