Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen3 running score exposure: comparable to Intel Core i7

At the Qualcomm Technology Summit, in addition to releasing the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, Qualcomm also released the Snapdragon 8cx Gen3 processor for the notebook market. Of course, compared with 8 Gen 1, the terminal products using the Snapdragon 8cx Gen3 processor seem to be much less, and there is no specific product at present, but there is news that Microsoft plans to use Qualcomm's processor in the future Surface series of products, and now the performance of the Snapdragon 8cx Gen3 processor is also gradually exposed, for example, in the GeekBench 5, there has been a running score of this processor. Judging by the results, the single-core score of the Snapdragon 8cx Gen3 processor is not much different from that of the 10th generation Core.

According to the data of GeekBench 5, the single-threaded score of the Snapdragon 8cx Gen3 processor exceeded 1000 points, reaching 1005 points, while the multi-threading score also reached 5524 points, which is actually not much different from the 11th generation Core and AMD's 5000 series Ryzen low-voltage processors, such as intel Core i7-1185G7 multi-core running score of 5518 points, while the Ryzen 7 5800U running score is about 5524 points.

From the perspective of CPU performance, it seems that the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 has not differed much from the previous generation of processors, but this refers to CPU performance, and it is not clear how much difference GPU performance there is. Considering that notebook terminal products are better than mobile phones in terms of heat dissipation conditions, then processors like Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 also have more room to play, so the actual performance should also be better. For office computers, Snapdragon processors have a better energy consumption ratio, and related notebooks should not be worse than battery life.
