I miss seeing SpeedTest G runs

I'm just imagining if speed test G was still around, Gary would be rapping faster than Eminen with 8G3 n 17 pro going head to head😂

My hopes are high for the upcoming devices. Some devices scored higher than the reference device last year ; so I expect the same to happen this year as well.

Really cool! I can't wait to see physical side by side tests. Thanks for keeping us informed!

Apple is officially 1 generation behind in GPU performance while they are now on equal field in CPU performance. The Bionic design was probably 2 generations ahead back in 2017. Now that's no longer the case! This means the era of the Bionic should end! Apple needs new design if they want to remain competitive. On the plus side if we look at the naming Apple is most likely planning a replacement for the Bionic or a big increase. When it comes to chips when there is a "Pro" there is also a "Max". There might be an A-series Max version of the SoC coming next year. They really need that. Qualcomm is on a row right now! They are at a point where custom cores are right around the corner.

Great video as usual. Going to hang onto my S21U for another year or so until the snapdragon 9 (or 8 gen 4) comes out as its supposed to start using those shiny new oryon cores, which will be the first to double the performance of the SD888

Yes!.. Intriguing. Thank you, and have an awesome and blessed day.

SpeedtestG was so fun, Miss it a lot

Thanks Gary for this review.

Would’ve been good to see you showcase the delta between 8 Gen 2 on QRD and say the Samsung S23 so we have an understanding of the potential real world performance of 8 Gen 3

I like that manner in which you present information and qualify things like that the reference design devices performance may generally be slightly higher than real world, and also that you compare reference designs year over year which is a great way to fairly show architectural improvements/changes. REQUEST: Benchmark every day use like browsers, social media clients…etc. That would nicely round out these benchmarking videos. 🙂

Thank you Gary 👍

Thanks Professor!

As an Apple user I am glad to see snapdragon achieve great things. I have a s21+ as well so I probably will pick up the s24+ for a massive upgrade in performance.

BRING BACK the legendary SpeedTest G runs!!

Gary please bring back Speedtest G. Your channel is way bigger now and will be growing even quicker and the overall user base will be a lot larger.

New Snapdragon is very, very good.

Excited about this, im adoring my s23 coming from my s10.

Thank you :)

The reference devices are always amazing but due to the heat limitations I doubt the difference will be noticeable because I'm using the Snapdragon 8Gen2-4G and it's a beast

Speedtest was so fun

This is going to make Apple rethink it's strategy. It's always been marketing it's CPUs as the fastest. Now they don't have that claim anymore.

So much for diminishing returns! 40% increase in graphics, 15% in processing power. I just hope this is reflected in the consumer phones, if so I might consider an upgrade this year

Please do a deep dive into Geekbench single core vs multi core irl

What makes this a great chip is the fact that Qualcomm was able to achieve while being on a 4nm node while apple is on 3nm. I expect a 5-10% lower variation on performance in actual devices due to reduced thermals and balance with battery life compared to the reference device. However, I'm more interested to see the AI abilities now on-chip rather than speed

It'll definitely be time to upgrade my tablet going from Snapdragon gen 1 to Snapdragon Gen 3. I currently have a Samsung 8+ tablet, just not enough improvement with the gen 2 9+.

Mutli-core and large GPU cores are tricky, at what point are you just burning your battery due to inefficiency? Are there real workloads that require that throughput? At what wattage? Competition from Samsung would be great too...

I had an S10e (loved the form factor), but a year into owning it the battery swelled. My wife was going in for surgery, a spinal fusion, the very next day. I didn't have time to fix the S10e so I went to my local phone store and paid waaay too much for an S20FE. I did like the 120hz screen, but a lot about the phone I didn't like. That's been over 2 years now, and seeing that I can get the S24 in yellow and all the specs are improved I've decided it's time for an upgrade. I like that the S24 has a much brighter screen, I sadly have to use my phone at work and so a bright screen that'll work outside in direct sunlight is going to be a huge plus. Add the 4nm chipset of this gen 2 Snapdragon, 50% larger vapor chamber for the heatsink, I'm hoping the phone will be better suited to me using outside on hot summer days. The S20FE was fairly dim and would be on FIRE in August where I live (Florida). Thanks for the video mate, pretty hard to find info right now and you made it clear and concise, I like it!

Are you going to cover AI benchmarks going forward ,as this will be the new super use case for a personal assistant?

8 gen 4 is going to be a game Changer

So around 25% slower single core perf compared to A17 pro, while having more or less the same multicore perf but far better gpu performance. This seems like a killer generation for sure, hopefully with better thermal solutions that usually ship on android phones this can beat the a17 pro in real world perf. But above all im curious about efficiency. I hardly notice the perf diff from the 865 to now. What matters to me the most is efficiency

Damn this is touching on M1 performance, and even beating it in graphics

Let's wait for 1st devices on sale and then real life benchmarks will start.

Whatever happened to Speed Test G?

Idk why u didn't compare 3d mark wildlife performance of 8gen 3 to a17pro?. It looks like around 100% difference or twice the performance of apple chip which is huge.

@Gary - Why isn't everyone jumping on RISC-V considering they won't have to pay royalties to ARM?

impressive results for this year but it's worth waiting for 3 nm processors next year.

it's going to be another challanges for phone maker to handle the thermal problem on this beast.

Awesome video, as always. But, at some pont, the battle for "highest performing chipset" becomes pointless. I am not saying they should not keep innovating, but bragging about "high scores" doesn't necessarily translate to better real life changes. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and it's counterparts are more than enough, what I would like to see is innovations in battery technology (high density, long-life) and better thermals. If we keep this trend of prioritizing high scores then we are encouraging manufactures to keep focusing on that (they supply what we demand) while innovations on other areas of technology lag behind.

Can't believe UKposts had unsubscribed me from this channel. Wondered why I hadn't seen his videos in a long long while. Since Speedtest G ended

Been waiting years for SD to catch up, only the single thread score to go. Next year it should have the Oryon custom cores so will wait a year to upgrade probably.

I wonder if like Samsung did when a phone detects its running a benchmark it turbos a bit?

Hopefully phone manufacturers don’t try to just push performance, instead concentrate a bit more on sustainability and battery efficiency. I believe with the performance gain this year they could still have a phone with better performance than the main competitor but also have much better battery efficiency also. Well done to Qualcomm for not just catching up to Apples SoC’s but surpassing them in performance. 👏

Best commentator I have ever seen better than formula 1 it's garys speedtest g

Plz test speed test G

I actually like that the 8pro has such good sustained performance, even if a bit underpowered.

Does it support frame generation in Games?

Xiaomi 14 dropped yesterday and it's benchmarks already online!

You didn't mention: 8 gen 3 scores almost double of a17pro in 3d mark wildlife

Everyone needs to know that single core performance is equal to opening apps closing apps switching between apps literally doing anything you would be doing if you didn't have to game. And a couple of megahertz difference and multi-core when your chips more efficient I don't think snapdragon quite has it here the way that it's being laid out.

Why dont they create ultra books or tables with replaceable phone motherboards cpus...its doable for the basics.🤔🤓😀

Probably just gonna hold on to my s23+ for awhile, still plenty fast and plenty of battery life for me.

hmm, one cannot but wonder if and how much of Apple's silicon design have been passed in there after the nuvia buyout and debate.

Nice! Hopefully apple will be forced to make meaningful upgrades to their processors next year. Wonder how much power consumption increased

Absolutely massive leap in performance considering it's still 4nm

Now we need these snapdragon laptops to catch on and give the macs a proper competition.

Wide spread console level graphics incoming in the next 2 to 3 years

And no one is mentioning seriously the battery consumption and thermals of the 8gen3. Thanks for sum up.

Qualcomm should make the QRD an actual consumer product imo..

it has great potential after long time SD silence

I hope they stop down clocking the full potential of the GPU

Your graphics are confusing. Use bands to delimit processor benchmarks, because you have same colors for many test and bars are equally spaced across all graphic.

now only single core remains for apple, all other department including efficiency is beaten by a large margin. next years Oryon core will balance the single core lead also.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is beast 🔥

Hey Gary, can you please start making your videos in 18:9 format ? It's a real pain in the ass watching 16:9 content on modern 20:9 display phones, besides the side black bars everything looks so zoomed out and hou cant just zoom in cause you lose ton of content

Great let see if Qualcomm take single core crown by Thier costume core design

Ugh I wish the Pixels could benefit from these performance gains 😢

man i miss Speedtest G

Can't wait for dimensity 9300 benchmark Everyone says it will be faster than Snapdragon 8 gen 3

Faster - ok. But what about the performance per watt? Being fast is easy, if you're on a great budget of energy.

At the end the day, competition is very much welcome! it equates to gratified consumers! :)

It really doesn't matter all that much since the phones cooling cant handle all the heat being generated and the phone will thermal throttle before long

Mind you, this chip will perform even better when used in gaming phones, often a bit overclocked and significantly better thermals and lower throttling

Thanks Gary. Now my only wish is for Samsung to use these in S24 and S24+. Please do not make SD8 Gen 3 a S24u exclusive chip.

Impressive but massive throttling... 🤔 I will upgrade my phone from SD870 if this SD8G3 can be properly cooled down.

You really should've included the A16 in the 15/14Pro

Great Video G as always. With due respect, Please next time don't wear orange color tee with red color background, my eyes are hurting fr...

Games like genshin impact require more cpu or gpu ?

Why are we not using xiaomi 14/14 pro to do the testing as a real world phone which is already early released

Just got the pixel 8 and i feel i am already 2 generations behind

intergrated fan smartphone..lets go..

“Has the potential”, “depending on the thermal properties”! Let’s see what actual commercial product do.

It's curious how Snapdragon went from trailing behind a 2 year old Apple SOC to now beating this years top offering. It's almost like someone came in and gave them tips which gave them a massive boost in performance... Someone who might have worked at Apple in the past maybe?...

All this power, yet most people will do calls, chat and selfies.

Why didn't you put it against the MediaTek 9300 which is faster then the gen 3 by almost 12%

Apple: Time to use the M2 for iPhone 16 Pro

Doest matter if its not as power efficent as apple processors

they should really start putting these chips inside laptops instead of "mobiles" .. snapdragon and bionic both , what's the use of so much power with so little to do in constrained mobile environment

I am interested in the benchmarks, but for a buying decision I consider efficiency as a top priority now a days.

Nice - apple needs some competition. Looks like these guys are somewhat getting there albeit by stuffing more cores in, but on app responsiveness / user experience you just know that single core is all that matters.

What happened to speedtest g sir?

Whats the reason for Apple's A17 Pro chips having so high Single Core score compared to competition. I mean seriously what kind of sorcery is Apple been up to lately

Snapdragon is firing on all cylinders. Will Samsung throttle the performance from heat? Apple seems to be generating too much heat but I'm not very smart

Finally, gaming on android smartphones are gonna be fun 🎉🎉🎉

Now We're Waiting for The Gangster: Dimencity 9300.. ....4x cortex X4😢....💥💥💥☝️

The sad reality is that game developers will still favor Apple in the US. There is no reason the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phones are not outperforming the Iphone 14 pro Max, other than game developers make all the games CPU dominant since the Iphones have always had shot GPU's, therefore making games less optimal than they should be. Look at the current performance of IOS vs Android in the Warzone Mobile closed play tests.

As long as Android OEMs don’t fuck up the software, things just might be in favour of Android for the first time in history.

I can't wait for a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Tablet or, even better, Laptop.

so if Apple put a m2 in their phone be the same core count but faster than the snapdragon gen 3 its year-old runs a full desktop

Cant wait for the gen 4 3nm
