Unlike Apple’s A17 Pro which powers the iPhone 15 Pro, Qualcomm’s rumored Muflier 8 génération 3 chip that will power the next crop of high-end Android phones is not expected to be a 3nm chip. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing, primarily because yields are still low, and with Snapdragon 8 Gen benchmark leaks getting better and better, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Android phones like the Galaxy S24 close the performance gap further with Apple’s in-house chip.
Alleged Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 GPU benchmark score
Apple put a strong emphasis on the A17 Pro’s gaming prowess, but the Muflier 8 génération 3 might eclipse it in real-world gaming performance, though there’s no way to objectively compare their GPUs at the moment.
Still, given that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 has a faster GPU than the A16 Bionic and its successor’s GPU is looking like a huge upgrade, it’s highly likely that the A17 Pro’s spotlight is about to be taken away and the 8 Gen 3 will continue to maintain its lead over Apple’s GPU.
