The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 owes its top position in the November AnTuTu benchmark charts to the RedMagic 11 Pro Plus, which pairs the processor with an active fan and a water cooling system. With passive cooling, the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 is actually faster.

AnTuTu has released its updated benchmark charts for November 2025 today. Just like in October, the charts are still led by the RedMagic 11 Pro Plus, although only the RedMagic 11 Pro is available in some markets. The gaming flagship keeps temperatures of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in check thanks to a complex cooling system with a vapor chamber, copper foil, graphene, an aluminum frame, liquid metal, a 24,000 RPM fan and liquid cooling.

Without this cooling system, Qualcomm’s latest flagship chip loses to the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 by a small margin. The Oppo Find X9 Pro and Vivo X300 Pro manage to take second and third place in November with just under 4 million points, followed by the Vivo iQOO 15, which uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and is slightly behind with 3.99 million points. As these benchmarks show, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and the Dimensity 9500 are in a tight head-to-head race, and Qualcomm is not the clear winner in this generation.

In the mid-range segment, the situation looks even worse for Qualcomm. With the Realme GT Neo6 SE based on the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 in seventh place, only one smartphone with a Qualcomm chipset made it into the top ten. All other top spots are occupied by smartphones with a MediaTek Dimensity 8300 or 8400 series SoC.

The Oppo Reno15 Pro leads the ranking, followed by the base Reno15 and the Realme Neo7 SE. As usual, AnTuTu uses an arbitrary price limit to decide which smartphones fall into the mid-range category, so the ranking could look different depending on the price bracket.
