Recently, the well-known running software Antutu announced the performance list of Android mobile phones in April. Although most of the top ten models are equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processors, the vivo X80 equipped with MediaTek Tianji 9000 processors is also very eye-catching. The machine is second only to the three gaming phones with a score of 1.01 million. This result also shows that in terms of performance, the Tianji 9000 is already comparable to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
Especially from the performance point of view, the gap between vivo X80 and the three game phones in the forefront is not obvious, and professional game phones usually use a more aggressive heat dissipation design to ensure the full release of the performance of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor. Therefore, if placed under the same heat dissipation conditions, MediaTek Tianji 9000 still has potential to be tapped.
In the performance ranking of sub-flagship mobile phones in the same period, more MediaTek Tianji mobile phones appeared. Xiaomi's Redmi K50 took the first place in the list, followed by the realme GT Neo 3, both of which are equipped with MediaTek Tianji 8100 processors. It is worth mentioning that the score of the first two Tianji 8100 models and the third Place Snapdragon 870 model has been close to 80,000 points, which shows that the Tianji 8100 has a relatively obvious performance advantage over the Snapdragon 870.
However, in the subsequent mid-range mobile phone performance list, the vast majority of mobile phones are equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G processors, and only one OPPO Reno7 5G equipped with Tianji 900 processors ranks fourth. This also shows that in terms of mid-range processors, MediaTek and Qualcomm still have a certain gap.
Judging from the overall ranking of the three lists, Qualcomm chips still dominate the mobile phone market, and most high-end models and gaming phones that pursue extreme performance will still choose the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. But on the other hand, MediaTek Tianji chips have gradually caught up in the field of flagships and sub-flagships, especially the recent several new machines equipped with MediaTek Tianji 8100 processors have mostly received praise from users. And in terms of price, MediaTek models are often more competitive than Qualcomm models.
In fact, from last year's Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 to this year's Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, although there is a certain upgrade in parameters, it does not bring significant improvement to the user, and the power consumption and heating problem of snapdragon 888 has not been improved on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which leads some users to choose a more performing Tianji mobile phone. It is expected that in the second half of this year, there will be more new machines equipped with MediaTek Tianji 9000 and Tianji 8100 processors on the market.
MediaTek's "turnaround" also made Qualcomm really feel the pressure. It is reported that Qualcomm will launch an upgraded Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus processor next, although the overall performance is only about 10% higher than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, but it will switch to a more stable TSMC process, which is expected to improve in terms of power consumption and heating. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus will also be mass-produced in June and will meet with you soon. In any case, multiple competitions in the field of mobile phone chips will be a good thing for consumers.
