Motorola has made it quite obvious that its upcoming flagship phone is named Motorola X50 launching soon in China. With the prospects in place, Chen Jin – Lenovo Group GM for Mobile Division, went on to give just how powerful Motorola X40 is by sharing the AnTuTu benchmark scores for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 running under the hood.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 on Moto X40 is powerful than Dimensity 9200
Talking about the Weibo post that Chen shared, the AnTuTu benchmark scored by Moto X40 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 stands at 1,312,901. For context, the Dimensity 9200 SoC reportedly scores 1,266,101 on the same benchmark platform.
WoThe scores on the Snapdragon’s end are a tad bit higher than Dimensity 9200 meaning it will give slightly better performance as a whole.
Chen shared the post with a caption in Chinese although it deciphers that Motorola’s upcoming device (Moto X40) will be the first true device to debut with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.
It is not just Motorola but iQOO 11, OnePlus Pro, Vivo Find X6 Pro+, and the Xiaomi 13 series are expected to draw power from the same processor. As a matter of fact, the race to become the brand with the debutant flagship chipset has commenced, again.
Talking about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (or SD8G2) is a 4 nm-based chipset with a max frequency of 3.2GHz. The processor has a tri-cluster architecture which includes 1x Cortex-X3 Prime core at 3.2GHz, 2x 2.8GHz Kryo Cortex-A715, 2x 2.8GHz Kryo Cortex-A710, and 3x 2.0GHz Cortex-A510.
Not only the performance boost but with a new Adreno GPU, the chipset promises 25% better performance than the predecessor.
