The Snapdragon 8 Elite — which previously debuted as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 — is expected to be announced by Qualcomm next week, and performance details of the upcoming chipset have now leaked online. According to benchmark results for the alleged Realme GT 7 Pro, the Snapdragon 8 Elite could offer a significant performance boost over its predecessor and outperform both MediaTek’s recently released Dimensity 9400 SoC and Apple’s A18 Pro chip that powers the iPhone 16 Pro Max. .

Snapdragon 8 Elite AnTuTu benchmark leaked

Tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer (@OnLeaks) in collaboration with Smartprix has published an image showing the alleged Realme GT 7 Pro, which is expected to be unveiled soon, with an unprecedented score of 3,025,991 in the AnTuTu benchmark. It will be one of the first smartphones based on the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which will be unveiled by Qualcomm at the annual Snapdragon Summit on October 21.

The leaked image also shows the iPhone 16 Pro Max next to the Realme GT 7 Pro, with a much lower score of 1,651,728. Apple’s flagship phone was introduced last month with a hexa-core A18 Pro processor, the most powerful smartphone chip to date. However, it’s worth noting that the testing tool uses the Vulkan and Metal APIs on Android and iOS, respectively, when comparing between platforms.

Realme’s upcoming flagship phone is not the first phone to cross the 3 million mark on AnTuTu. Last month, the Vivo X200 with MediaTek’s 3nm Dimensity 9400 chipset scored 3,007,853 points in the benchmark tool. According to these tests, the Qualcomm chip is slightly ahead of its competitor.

The recently launched Oppo Find X8 was pre-tested on AnTuTu with a score of 2,880,558, which was the highest score on the platform at the time. This phone is also powered by the Dimensity 9400 chipset, which is expected to power other flagship smartphones over the next year.
