ASUS has officially announced the multi-core score of its upcoming ROG Phone 8 Pro, and it looks impressive. The gaming phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and scored 7422 on the Geekbench 6 multi-core test, surpassing the scores of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The latter is powered by the A17 Pro AP, the only 3nm application processor powering any smartphone last year.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 uses an octa-core configuration which gives it an advantage in multi-threaded tasks. Additionally, the ROG Phone 8 Pro features a large vapor chamber that helps keep the chipset cool, allowing it to deliver outstanding performance for extended periods of time.
The single-core score of the ROG Phone 8 Pro on Geekbench has not been revealed, but it is likely that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has not been able to top the A17 Pro’s single-core score.
Wccftech recently discovered an A17 Pro Geekbench test result showing scores of 2969 and 7570 for single-core and multi-core respectively. However, it is believed that the test may have been achieved using external cooling or by manipulating the results.
In terms of specifications, the ROG Phone 8 Pro comes with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 1080 x 2448. It also features Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection. The configurations include 12GB RAM with 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage, 16GB RAM with 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage, and 24GB RAM with 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. The rear camera array includes a 50MP primary camera, a 32MP telephoto camera, and a 13MP ultrawide camera, while the front-facing camera is 32MP. The phone is powered by a 5500mAh battery.
ASUS is expected to unveil the ROG Phone 8 Pro soon, so stay tuned for more updates.
