"Last month, we used a Realme GT8 Pro prototype to run early benchmarks of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. The phone was officially unveiled last week and is preparing to launch globally next month, so we are ready to do some proper benchmarking. Even better, in the meantime we have reviewed several competing flagships, so we can have a better look at the key chipsets for the next twelve months."
"Let's start with the generalist test, AnTuTu. We're in the process of moving over to AnTuTu v11, but we are also including v10 tests for continuity. In v11, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 inside the Realme GT8 Pro is the clear leader - it has a 9% lead over the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. Keep in mind that AnTuTu measures things like memory performance, not just raw compute power, so the same chipset can score differently depending on the surrounding hardware."
"Focusing on just the CPU, Geekbench 6 shows the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 losing to the Apple A19 Pro by 6% in the single-core test. That's a narrow margin and even that disappears in the multi-core test, which is inside the margin of error. Arm's new C1-Ultra core inside the Dimensity 9500 lags behind, being 9% slower than the Snapdragon in single-core performance. The same 9% gap is observed"
Realme GT8 Pro with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 leads AnTuTu v11, showing a 9% advantage over the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. AnTuTu v11 also gives the Snapdragon a similar edge over the Dimensity 9500, while AnTuTu v10 sometimes favors MediaTek. Compared with the previous-generation Elite in v10, the GT8 Pro is about 8% faster than the GT 7 Pro. Geekbench 6 single-core results place the Apple A19 Pro about 6% ahead of the Snapdragon, with multi-core results within the margin of error. The Dimensity 9500’s C1-Ultra core is about 9% slower than the Snapdragon in single-core tests. Benchmark scores can be influenced by surrounding hardware and memory performance.
