CPU and GPU Performance Metrics

The processor features an eight-core configuration with a tiered clock speed structure: three cores at 3.74GHz, three at 4.03GHz, and two primary cores reaching 5.11GHz. In Geekbench 7 tests, the device achieved a single-core score of 3,582 points and a multi-core score of 12,247 points.

On the graphics side, the Adreno 850 GPU delivered strong results in early benchmarks, scoring 26,210 points in the OpenCL test and reaching 29,934 points in Vulkan. These figures place the device in direct competition with other upcoming high-end hardware, such as the OnePlus 16, which also utilizes the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro to target extreme gaming performance.

Memory and Software Specifications

The benchmark listing reveals 12GB of RAM (with 11.0GB available) and confirms that the device will run Android 17 under the HyperOS 4 skin.

This launch arrives amidst a broader wave of next-generation chipsets debuting this month. While Xiaomi bets on Qualcomm, other flagships like the Vivo X500 Pro Max and Oppo Find X10 Pro Max are appearing on Geekbench powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 series. This performance race is further intensified by Apple's own moves, with the A20 Pro chip doubling its AI cores to maintain a competitive edge in the premium segment.
