Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 loses to MediaTek Dimensity 8100 in Geekbench's multi-core test

Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is Qualcomm's flagship mobile chipset that powers ggets like Galaxy S22 Ultra and OnePlus 10 Pro. It is an octa-core processor with one Cortex X2 core, three Cortex-A710 cores and four Cortex-A510 cores. ditionally, processor is built on Samsung's 4nm fabrication techlogy. While chipset is quite powerful in itself, a newer processor from MediaTek has reportedly performed better than Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in Geekbench benchmarking test. 

A Weibo user who goes by name Digital Chat Station has shared Geekbench scores of MediaTek Dimensity 8100 chipset, along with scores of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Snapdragon 888. As per se scores, Dimensity 8100 chipset beats Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in multi-core performance test. While Qualcomm's latest device scores 3,809 points in Geekbench test, MediaTek Dimensity 8100 scores 4,071 points on same test, beating SD 8 Gen 1 with a significant margin.

However, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 registered a win on single-core test. While SD 8 Gen 1 scores 1,273 points on single-core test, Snapdragon 888 scored 1,116 points on single-core test. This easily beats single-core score of Dimensity 8100 SoC (965 points). It is worth mentioning that Dimensity 8100 is an upper-mid range processor from MediaTek, and it has been able to surpass best Snapdragon processor in multi-core test on Geekbench. 

Interestingly, all three tests were performed using Geekbench application on Realme's upcoming device, whose model number is RMX3562. This could be upcoming Realme GT NEO 3. Neverless, it is interesting that MediaTek has finally levelled with performance offered by Snapdragon's chipsets. It is pertinent to mention here that latest Dimensity 8100 SoC is built on TSMC's 5nm techlogy, while Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is built on Samsung's 4nm techlogy. 

In near future, Qualcomm might release an upgred version of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, which is believed to be built on TSMC's 4nm techlogy. re might be a possibility that this chipset will take back le in terms of performance on Android smartphones. Stay tuned for more updates on chipsets and or tech news.
