Benchmark

The first version of Geekbench AI is here, and it enables you to check the AI performance of your PC's NPU, GPU, and CPU. While Primate Labs is presenting the tool as a new benchmarking software, it's basically the Geekbench ML with a marketing-friendly term.

Intel Core Ultra 5 245K Arrow Lake CPU has just made its debut on Geekbench and the results are potentially troubling for AMD Zen 5. The chip is apparently faster than both the Ryzen 5 9600X and the Ryzen 7 9700X by quite a wide margin in the multi-core department while being slower in the single-core test.

It appears Lenovo is set to launch the latest iteration in its Legion Y700 gaming series. A device alleged to be the Legion Y700 (2024) has now been spotted on Geekbench with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in tow, potentially hinting at an imminent launch in China.

The Strix Point lineup introduced the most powerful iGPU to date, the AMD Radeon 890M. With RDNA 3.5 architecture and 16 CUs, it has what it takes to deliver discrete GPU-level performance, and as shown by a benchmark comparison video on YouTube, it can beat the desktop Nvidia GTX 1650 in many games.

The Ultra Plus Engine Control Panel mod for Cyberpunk 2077 has been updated. Its latest update optimizes path tracing even further on the game, allowing systems with capable GPUs to deliver near 60 FPS with all things turned up at 4K.

After the launch of Strix Point, AMD Zen 5 has made its official debut on desktop today. The first two Ryzen 9000 series processors available are the Ryzen 5 9500X and the Ryzen 7 9700X. Reviews of these CPUs are already out, and the current top-end model appears to not have lived up to expectations.

Qualcomm's upcoming flagship SoC, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, has now seemingly made a verifiable trip to Geekbench with an interesting core configuration and impressive performance numbers in tow.

The new AMD Strix Point processors come with the best-performing iGPUs to date, and it's great for laptops that don't feature a dedicated GPU to keep the price down. In our analysis, we found the Radeon 890M of Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 to be comparably faster than the 8-core Intel Arc iGPU of Meteor Lake, and a recent comparison from TechEpiphany shows how efficient AMD's offering is.

The July 2024 AnTuTu mid-range ranking is out, and the top five phones are the same as last month's list. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 is still leading with high average scores, and Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 devices are yet to make their debut in the monthly lists.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Leading Version, an overclocked variant of the standard SoC, debuted with the RedMagic 9S Pro lineup. Nubia promised top-end performance with the overclocked chipset, and it seems that the company delivered. The 9S Pro+ has dominated the latest AnTuTu top-performing flagship phone ranking for July 2024.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE has yet again been spotted on Geekbench. The upcoming premium phone will be powered by the Exynos 2400 but could offer better performance than the Galaxy S24 and S24+ phones featuring the same chipset.

One of Vivo's next Android smartphones will launch with specs that might have been thought of as high-end just 2 years ago, yet will probably go for a mid-range price in 2024. There is evidence that the V40 Pro will also debut with a bright screen, an on-trend large-capacity battery and a 50MP selfie camera.

AMD's flagship iGPU, the Radeon 890M, has shown up on Geekbench. It performs on par with a Turing-based Nvidia dGPU in Vulkan. The benchmark essentially confirms AMD's claims of a 32% performance gap between RDNA 3 and RDNA 3.5

AMD has shared the performance comparisons of RDNA 3.5 found inside the Strix Point lineup. The new GPU architecture is shown to be 32% better than the RDNA 3 of Hawk Point on the 3DMark Timespy benchmark at 15W. This is a significant improvement for the AMD Ryzen AI 300 series processors.

A heretofore-unknown Honor model number that has materialized on Geekbench is thought to be evidence of the more affordable version of the brand's upcoming Magic V3 Android foldable flagship smartphone. Should that be the case, the "Vs3" will use an older chipset than its top-end counterpart.

The benchmarking platform AnTuTu has revealed the top-performing global mid-range phones from June 2024. Among the ten devices on the latest chart, Realme GT 6T with Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 holds the topmost position. The other phones in the list are powered by Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2, Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, Dimensity 8200, and Dimensity 8100.

AnTuTu has revealed the top-performing global flagship smartphones from June 2024. In the latest ranking, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 devices have dominated over the Dimensity 9300 and 9300+ flagship phones, holding seven out of the ten spots in the list.

A Lenovo laptop powered by the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 has popped up on Geekbench. The system scored 2,544 points in the single-core test and 12,745 in the multi-core test. These benchmark scores are lower than expected, but given that it’s one of the early benchmark results, it could be because of low optimization or power limitation.

The first Snapdragon X series laptop reviews are out, and with that, we got a closer look at the performance of Qualcomm's new ARM chipsets. As we noted in our review of the Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED with Snapdragon X Elite X1E-78-100, the gaming performance is the biggest weak point at the moment. The other reviewers shared the same story.

After the upcoming Google Pixel 9 surfaced on Geekbench yesterday, a listing for the Pixel 9 Pro XL has also been revealed, with the more expensive model being listed with 16 GB of RAM, while delivering better performance in both single-core and multi-core tests.

Google's upcoming Pixel 9 flagship has now been spotted on a trip to Geekbench. The listing reveals CPU performance that somehow appears to be even worse than the Pixel 8's, along with a slew of other information on the device.

Golden Pig Upgrade shared the 3DMark Time Spy benchmark results of the Radeon 890M iGPU inside Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 on Bilibili. The integrated graphics card with the 16 compute units (CUs) reportedly scores over 3600 on the benchmark, which puts it very close to the Nvidia RTX 2050 GPU.

Snapdragon X Elite laptops are expected to be available starting from June 18. Days before being officially available, we are now seeing early user reviews. While Qualcomm made a lot of promises, these early reviews are not very promising, with Samsung Book4 Edge featuring the newest ARM processor performing worse than the Apple iPhone 12 mini from 2020 in the single-core test.

A Geekbench listing has now provided strong indications of Samsung's potential plans to launch the Galaxy Tab S10+ with a MediaTek chipset. Apparently, the premium tablet could be equipped with a Dimensity 9300+ when it arrives in the US next year.

The very first gaming demo of Xe2 iGPU is here. Intel demoed it at its Tech Tour while introducing the new Lunar Lake processors. The demo only ran one game, F1 2024, and with ray tracing and XeSS, the integrated graphics card could run the game at 60 FPS at 1080p and High settings.

A new leak has now revealed the latest information on Qualcomm's next-gen flagship SoC, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. The chipset is expected to feature custom cores and is being tested with incredibly high clock speeds that deliver a 30% generational CPU boost in performance.

While AnTuTu is more popular for its smartphone benchmark tool, it also has a new electric car benchmarking app. It’s there to evaluate the performance of the infotainment system inside the EV by stress testing the processor, storage, and RAM. The ranking list from May has highlighted 17 top-performing models.

Cristiano Amon has formally introduced the Snapdragon X Elite and Plus chipsets during the company's "PC Reborn" Computex 2024 keynote speech. The series features a custom NPU touted to deliver the potential of their signature Microsoft Copilot+ "experiences". Qualcomm's CEO also officially unveiled some Oryon CPU performance gains compared to rival platforms such as Apple M and Intel Core Ultra.

Google has a good track record of not being able to keep its unreleased phones secret for long. The Pixel 9 series isn’t an exception in this regard. Previously, we had detailed images of the upcoming phones, and now, the Tensor G4 benchmark results are out. As per the benchmarks, the new SoC won’t offer a big performance jump from its predecessor.

The benchmarking tool AnTuTu has published the top 10 mid-range phones that have achieved the highest average scores in May 2024. On the latest ranking, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 devices are at the top of the list, while MediaTek’s top-performing device with Dimensity 8300 Ultra got the third spot.

Each month, AnTuTu publishes the top 10 Android flagship smartphones with the best average benchmark scores in 1,000 valid runs throughout the month. On the last two rankings, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 devices secured the top spots. But the tables have turned again, with a Dimensity 9300+ phone at the top and a Dimensity 9300-powered device managing to beat Qualcomm’s flagship SoC and achieve the second spot.

AnTuTu has published its latest performance lists, consisting of the top 10 flagship and mid-range phones that performed the best throughout April. Like last month, the Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 dominates the new flagship list. The first phone on the list with MediaTek Dimensity 9300, on the other hand, has the fifth spot. As for the mid-range list, Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 is still going strong.

The Poco F6 has now made its first appearance on Geekbench, delivering performance above the pay grade of other Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 phones. The Poco F5's successor is tipped to launch globally imminently, before heading over to India shortly after.

Huawei's new Pura70 series once again features its in-house Kirin 9010 chipset, after both the P50 and P60 series were powered by Snapdragon 8-series 4G SoCs. Performance-wise, the move to in-house silicon looks to be a step backward, with benchmarks showing the Kirin 9010 on the US$1400 Pura70 Ultra as being worse than even last-gen mid-range chipsets like the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2.

The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 are Qualcomm's latest sub-premium chipsets destined for a slew of sub-US$500 devices across the globe this year. How do the two SoCs perform compared to each other, however?

OPPO is now projected to add a new member to its K series of mid-range Android smartphones soon. However, its specs and looks might be less of a surprise than the OEM might hope, as they have already been introduced by another brand, OnePlus. Then again, the K12 should benefit from an in-demand Qualcomm processor, a decent amount of RAM and up-to-date software.

Samsung is rumored to introduce a new (or new-ish) line of Galaxy C-series Android smartphones in 2024. Its alleged inaugural member may have surfaced on Geekbench, thereby adding to the growing body of evidence that it does in fact exist and will be available soon. Should that be the case, it might debut with a 120Hz AMOLED display and 50MP main camera.

Motorola is projected to refresh its latest smartphone with an upgraded processor - not to mention one of its most advanced kinds of rear camera - very soon. The Edge 50 Ultra has apparently surfaced on Geekbench ahead of its supposedly imminent launch event, as though to be sure everyone knows what its main specs are ahead of this event.

The V30 Pro 5G has been released as Vivo's first-ever Zeiss-branded Aura Light Portrait camera smartphone. However, its series is not yet complete, according to the latest leaks. They assert that a third 5G variant is on the way: one that might be more affordable compared to the vanilla V30, yet still have a rear camera of the same resolution as its flagship sibling.

Xiaomi will debut a new series later this month, with the Redmi Turbo 3 set to arrive with flagship performance and features. The phone, expected to launch globally as the Poco F6, has now been spotted on Geekbench, delivering CPU scores that slightly edge out the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

A Lenovo laptop with an “83ED” codename previously showed up on Geekbench with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite X1E78100 CPU. Now, another listing has popped up, but this time, the system is codenamed “4810UV0100.” It has the same processor as the last listing, but the new one shows better performance scores.

The GT 6 5G is now tipped to launch as the first ever Realme smartphone to debut with the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor. The device is also now believed to launch with premium specs such as Android 14 out of the box and a battery with a capacity comfortably exceeding 5,000mAh. It has reportedly been certified by groups such as the FCC, thereby hinting it might even get the global launch denied its predecessor.

AnTuTu has revealed the top 10 flagship and midrange phone lists for March 2024. While MediaTek was dominating with its Dimensity 9300 in flagship and Dimensity 8300 ultra in mid-range charts, Qualcomm took back the lead in both charts. Now, phones with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 are topping the lists.

Google has partnered with Qualcomm to announce that the version of Chrome specifically for Windows laptops on ARM is now available. The browser's new iteration will be able to run on PCs powered by the upcoming Snapdragon X Elite platform, but can also be used on its forebears from now. It is already backed to boost performance on these devices.

Call of Duty Warzone Mobile just became available for Android and iOS phones. As it's a proper AAA title for smartphones, it calls for a benchmark comparison between the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the recently launched gaming-focused Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro. While the latter is capped at the "high" graphics option, it beat Apple's flagship with a 7% lead in the same visual settings.

New benchmarks have now surfaced, showcasing the performance prowess of Qualcomm's upcoming chipset, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3. By all indications, the chipset can be expected to perform similarly to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy on last year's Galaxy S23 series.

Samsung's Exynos 2400 powers the Galaxy S24 and S24+ in most regions. Unlike with the disappointing Exynos 2200, however, the flagship chipset looks to deliver performance on par with its peers this time out, with GravityMark benchmark results indicating superiority over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Apple A17 Pro.

An interesting flagship phone battery comparison video has been posted pitting the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, the Oppo Find X7 Ultra, and the Vivo X100 Pro against each other. While the X100 Pro is the winner on the surface, it is actually the iPhone 15 Pro Max that offers the best efficiency.
