Will smartphones with the new flagship chip from Qualcomm once again completely conquer the monthly performance charts of the common performance test?
Motorola will no longer be the first on the market to introduce us to a smartphone based on the exciting Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip from Qualcomm – but maybe it has a chance to be the one to conquer the performance charts with the highest results thanks to the latest model? In the meantime, it seems that she has a not bad start at all as part of a result that crosses the threshold of 1,300,000 points in the Antutu test.
According to documentation circulating online, the Moto X40 model of the Lenovo-owned company reached 1,312,901 points in version 9.5.2 of the test that tests most of the hardware parts in the mobile system – an increase of about 17 percent compared to the leading Antutu results of devices based on On the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chips and also an improvement of about three percent compared to the result of the latest competing Dimensity 9200 model from Mediatek which was also leaked to the network recently.
Not everyone sees Antutu’s scores as a reliable source for a reliable comparison between the capabilities of the various processing chips in the mobile world, due to the test’s tendency to give excessive weight to various peripheral characteristics that will not necessarily be felt in daily use by the end users, but nevertheless there is no arguing that this is a very popular test that stands in line One along with Geekbench, 3DMark and GFXBench as such which is used to make quick and convenient comparisons between different models in almost every review and review. A manufacturer that manages to find itself at the top of the Antutu score charts frequently will be able to earn itself quite a bit of interest and additional popularity.
During 2022, Qualcomm seems to have almost completely taken over the flagship performance market on Antutu, judging by the monthly reports produced by the representatives of the application, according to which nine of the ten models without the highest average scores in the pool were based on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or the -Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, while only one Dimensity 9000 device managed to successfully infiltrate the top.
Will 2023 see a repeat of this undisputed dominance with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 versus the Dimensity 9200? We will keep our fingers crossed for closer competition for the benefit of consumers and will continue to monitor and update.
