Apple is one of the manufacturers that leads the market with its ARM-based processors. Although the platforms developed for Android are exciting, the performance in the A Silicon series of the iPhone has not been achieved so far. Apple is leading the way in this regard. However, this picture may change with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 breakthrough from the Qualcomm front.
Benchmark results are here
Qualcomm’s new processor platform will first power the Vivo X90 Pro+ model. This means that the tests were done with the X90 Pro+. As a result of the test, we see that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 gives a performance close to the A16 Bionic.
Judging by the benchmark results on Geekbench 5, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 looks very exciting. Especially the multi-core performance of the processor is impressive.

What exactly are they testing?
In order to understand the results of the benchmark, you must first understand what Geekbench 5 is. Geekbench 5 measures single-core and multi-core performance in addition to the processor’s GPU performance. It is an application to see the power of a phone and compare it with other devices.
In a recent Geekbench 5 test, the iPhone 14 Pro Max scored 1884 single-core and 5431 multi-core. These numbers are performance values that cannot be reached by a phone currently on the market. Vivo X90 Pro+, on the other hand, achieved a very close result to the iPhone 14 Pro in the same test.

As seen in the post, Vivo X90 Pro+ scored 1462 in the single-core test and 5182 in the multi-core test. It is impressive that the phone, which has already been officially introduced and will be released in the near future, gives such high performance. Let’s also remind you that the performance of the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is better than the A15 Bionic in the iPhone 14.
It would be unfair to evaluate these results only in the case of Vivo X90 Pro+. The Galaxy S23 series and many flagship phones, which are expected to be introduced in the near future, will also be powered by the same platform. In addition, the new chip is 45 percent more performant than Samsung’s Exynos 2200, according to tests. Even when it comes to the graphics unit, we can talk about energy efficiency up to 88 percent.
