Qualcomm may be on a mission to release the world’s most powerful smartphone chipset within days. After all, it’s going to be an uphill battle for Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 to overtake the competition, with releases like the A18 Pro and Dimensity 9400 already announced. However, according to the latest benchmark scores, this SoC has the best multi-threaded results to date when running on the upcoming Vivo iQOO 13.
The new multi-core score is higher than the one obtained by OnePlus 13 even though Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is running at the same clock speed
In our last test, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 powered the OnePlus 13, scoring over 10,000 points in the multi-core category. Compared to Apple’s A18 Pro, Qualcomm’s next flagship SoC is 18% faster and outperforms last year’s A17 Pro by 39%. Now, a new flagship called iQOO 13 has been spotted on Geekbench 6 with a single-core score of 3,217 and a multi-core score of 10,305.
What’s interesting about this benchmark is that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4’s performance and efficiency cores are running at the same clock speeds of 4.32 GHz and 3.53 GHz, respectively. On Vivo iQOO 13, the single-core results are lower compared to the OnePlus 13, but the multi-core numbers are the best on a smartphone so far. As for how the flagship model was able to accumulate these scores, it’s likely within the margin of error of what the OnePlus 13 achieved.
Again, Vivo iQOO 13 is equipped with a more enhanced cooling solution or custom software skins running on Android use fewer system resources, freeing up more processing power. It is possible that Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 can improve multi-core results. . Unfortunately, none of these numbers reveal the power consumption of silicon. While a high score is one aspect of measuring performance, power efficiency is another important metric that should never be ignored. We’ll be learning more about Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in the coming days, so stay tuned.
