Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 vs Apple A17 Pro vs Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 vs Dimensity 9200 vs Tensor G3

The first benchmark numbers are in for the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. How does it compared to the Apple A17 Pro found in the iPhone 15 Pro? What is the increased compared to last year's devices with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. All is revealed in this video!

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.

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😂

[xperiafan]

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.

[PiterStreak]

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

[j_official]

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.

[trqster]

BRING BACK the legendary SpeedTest G runs!!

[robertlawrence]

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

[Rifumo]

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

[alexseleni]

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.

[Kirmo]

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

[DK-oxze]

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.

[Garrettdx]

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

[mindaugasliaugaudas]

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

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!

[hello_id]

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

[davisfrancis]

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

[wayne]

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. 👏

[Kizzycatwoman]

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

[wtvudesire]

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

[keshavsakthi]

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
