In our latest explainer on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, we mentioned all of the important particulars of Qualcomm’s new processor for Android flagship telephones. That article solely included the important thing on-paper specs, with out giving us any concept in regards to the precise prowess of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Properly, Qualcomm has completed issues a bit otherwise this time round and gave Beebom the chance to benchmark its newest chipset at Snapdragon Summit 2022 in Hawaii. So on this article, from Geekbench and AnTuTu to 3DMark, GFXBench, and extra, we carry you the benchmark scores of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for a number of intensive benchmark exams. So on that word, let’s bounce in and see how the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 performs.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Benchmarked (2022)

On this article, we’ve got examined Snapdragon 8 Gen 2’s efficiency based mostly on scores from widespread benchmark instruments. We additionally examined the AI capabilities of the chipset and added benchmark scores from AITuTu, MLPerf, and so on., on this information. You possibly can broaden the desk beneath and transfer to any part you need.

Observe: We carried out the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 benchmark exams on a prototype gadget supplied by Qualcomm. We’ll replace the information with extra hands-on benchmark outcomes from an 8 Gen 2-powered OEM gadget sooner or later.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Specification Sheet

Earlier than the benchmark scores, check out Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 specs and be taught in regards to the CPU, GPU, ISP, AI, and different particulars proper right here:

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Benchmark Scores

Geekbench

We carried out the Geekbench check on the prototype gadget powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and it scored 1490 within the single-core check and 5131 within the multi-core check. Whereas it didn’t cross the 1500-mark within the single-core check, the processor surpassed the 5000-mark within the multi-threaded check.

Observe that the prime Cortex-X3 core on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is clocked at 3.19GHz. Nonetheless, UniverseIce on Twitter reported that Qualcomm is providing Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with a higher-frequency CPU (Cortex-X3 clocked at 3.36GHz) to Samsung for the launch of the Galaxy S23 collection. Meaning the Cortex-X3 core can transcend the default 3.2GHz frequency, and if that’s the case, the 8 Gen 2 could possibly breach the 1500-mark and rating even larger within the single-core Geekbench check.

To not overlook, we ran Geekbench on a reference gadget supplied by Qualcomm. Telephone makers will definitely optimize the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with higher cooling and warmth dissipation strategies, so it’s possible that the Geekbench scores will enhance sooner or later. Nonetheless, wanting on the present determine, we are able to say that Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 packs a robust CPU.

AnTuTu Benchmark

After the Geekbench check, we additionally carried out the AnTuTu benchmark check on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. It scored a monumental 1,275,749 factors on the AnTuTu check. Breaking down the rating, the processor achieved 270,867 factors by way of CPU, scored 567,801 within the GPU phase, 239879 in reminiscence, and eventually, received 198,202 factors in UX efficiency. General, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 has the highest AnTuTu rating any cell chipset has ever obtained.

PCMark

Primarily based on the prototype gadget, Qualcomm supplied us with the PCMark 3.0 rating of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. We didn’t get an opportunity to independently run the PCMark check on the reference design however will accomplish that as soon as we’ve got an official OEM gadget at hand.

As for the PCMark rating, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 scored a median within the ballpark of 18500 to 18900 after 3 iterations. In case you’re unaware, PCMark is a holistic benchmarking software that exams efficiency and battery life. It checks how effectively the processor handles widespread productiveness duties like internet shopping, video modifying, working with paperwork, and so on.

3DMark Wildlife

To check the Adreno 740 GPU (clocked at 680MHz) on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, we carried out two totally different but intensive 3DMark exams. So take a look at the outcomes right here.

We witnessed the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 ship 81.3 FPS within the 3DMark WildLife check and 22.5 FPS within the 3DMark WildLife Excessive check. If we speak in regards to the total scores achieved within the 3DMark exams, the SD 8 Gen 2 was in a position to rating 13,575 within the WildLife check and 3,764 within the WildLife Excessive check.

GFXBench Take a look at

The Adreno 740 GPU on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC additionally carried out exceptionally effectively in numerous GFXBench 5.0 exams. To start with, within the GFXBench Manhattan 3.0 Offscreen 1080p check, the GPU achieved 332 FPS and delivered 226FPS within the GFXBench Manhattan 3.1 Offscreen 1080p check.

Transferring to the intensive Aztec Ruins Offscreen 1080p (Regular Tier) check, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 scored 179 FPS, which is kind of good. For extra GFXBench check outcomes, take a look on the beneath desk.

MLPerf and AI Benchmark

Qualcomm supplied us with many AI benchmarks of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 as effectively, however we independently verified a few them on the occasion. Of these, MLPerf is kind of widespread, and you’ll find the outcomes for Picture Classification, Object Detection, Picture Segmentation, and so on., within the desk beneath.

Other than that, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 scored over 2 million within the ETH AIBenchmark check, 3,628,796 within the AITutu check (screenshot above), and eventually, it scored over 157k within the AIMark check.

Jetstream and Speedometer

In case you are questioning about browser benchmark scores, we received our fingers on these numbers as effectively. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 achieved over 167 within the Jetstream check. And if we speak in regards to the widespread Speedometer 2.0 check, the processor managed to attain 146 factors. Lastly, within the WebXPRT 3 check, it scored 220 factors.

Discover All of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Benchmark Scores

So there you’ve it! We’ve got talked about all of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 benchmark scores for you. In each class, Qualcomm has outdone its final chipset and made new benchmarks for the competitors to comply with. Now, if you happen to want to evaluate the benchmark scores of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Apple A16 Bionic, head to our linked article.
