According to pre-release reports, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2’s Adreno 740 GPU will offer best-in-class performance, even outperforming the A16 Bionic. This is because the Apple chipset debuted in his iPhone 14 Pro phone with minimal GPU improvements over its predecessor. It seems those reports were not misplaced.
As tested by Golden Reviewer, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 appears to outperform both the A16 Bionic and the Dimensity 9200 in the GPU department. The Qualcomm chipset hosted by the Vivo X90 Pro Plus scores an average of 223 FPS in the GFXBench 3.1 1080P offscreen test. The Dimensity 9200 squeezes out 203 FPS. A16 Bionic 195. Efficiency is not traded off for raw performance, as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 consumes less power than the other two and offers a significant efficiency advantage of 25%.
These numbers are reflected in the 3DMark WildLife Extreme test, where the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 scored 3729 and consumes just 7.5W. The A16 Bionic has a power consumption of 7.6 W, but only scores 3359. The Dimensity 9200 consumes 8.2 W, but scores lower than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 at 3627. Again, Qualcomm chipsets offer the best performance with the lowest power consumption. As such, it’s easy to conclude that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2’s Adreno 740 GPU will, on average, offer about 10% better performance and about 15% better efficiency than the A16 Bionic’s GPU.
Qualcomm’s chipset outperforms the A16 Bionic in the Apple iPhone 14 Pro phone without compromising efficiency, so it looks like a performance monster in every metric, especially on the GPU side. This dominance is due to the fact that in the actual Genshin Impact tests, the Xiaomi 13 Pro’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 performed slightly better than the iPhone 14 Pro Max and remained significantly lower than Apple’s flagship. is not limited to synthetic benchmarks.
