Competition in the phone world continues to heat up. In particular, the new platforms developed by the two processor giants for flagship phones are in a great race. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 on the Qualcomm front and MediaTek’s Dimensity 9200 on the face. Comparisons of both platforms emerged before they met with end users. So who is the leader of this fight?
Great competition!
Vivo X90 Pro+, OnePlus 11, Xiaomi 13 (also known as 14) and IQOO 11 family will use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 platform. In addition, ASUS’ gaming phone ROG Phone 6D Ultimate includes Dimensity 9200.
The performance of these chips can be compared in the light of the information coming from the devices using both platforms. The performance test result shown above belongs to Motorola Edge 40 Pro with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. As a result of the test on AnTuTu V9.5.2, we see that the platform received 1,312,901 points.
Another device included in the benchmark is the ASUS ROG Phone 6D Ultimate. The AnTuTu results of the device, powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9200 processor, had previously leaked. In the test on AnTuTu V9.2.6, Dimensity 9200 scores 1,266,102 points. This result is exactly 46,799 points less than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
Technical specifications of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Dimensity 9200
Let’s start with the Quallcomm side first. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 has 1+2+2+3 core array. These are in addition to the 3.2 GHz Cortex-X3 main cores, 2 x 2.8 GHz Cortex-A715, 2 x 2.8 GHz Cortex-A710 and 3 x 2.0 GHz Cortex-A510. While Cortex-X3 is the most performing core, Cortex-A510 is responsible for energy efficiency. In addition, the Adreno 740 interface takes care of the graphics work.
Dimensity 9200 comes with a 1+3+4 core array. In addition to one 3.05 GHz Cortex-X3, three 2.85 GHz Cortex-A715 cores are responsible for performance. Four 1.8 GHz Cortex-A510s take care of the energy efficiency part. Graphics work is entrusted to Arm’s Immortalis-G715 interface.
Let’s point out that the transistor distance of both platforms is 4nm. In addition, both platforms benefit from ray-tracing technology. So regardless of the results, these processors are very powerful for the end user.
