AnTuTu, a prominent benchmarking platform for smartphone performance, has released its rankings for October 2024. This month saw the introduction of flagship chips from MediaTek and Snapdragon, which significantly influenced the standings. Devices featuring the Snapdragon 8 Elite and MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chips have emerged as the top contenders in AnTuTu's performance list.

The rankings highlight the OPPO Find X8 series, Xiaomi 15 series, Vivo X200 series, Realme GT 7 Pro, OnePlus 13, and iQOO 13 as the leading smartphones of the month. Notably, only one device equipped with the previous generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip secured a spot in the rankings, illustrating the current preference for the latest hardware.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite chip secured the top two positions, while MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 has demonstrated strong performance, closing the gap with its competitors. However, the Xiaomi 15 series performed below expectations, indicating possible limitations in thermal management compared to other models. 

The Vivo X200 mini's compact design also hindered its cooling capacity, which may have affected its performance. The iQOO Neo 9S Pro+, using the older Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, ranked lower, falling nearly 900,000 points short of the OnePlus 13. With more devices like the Realme GT 7 Pro and ASUS ROG Phone 9 series on the horizon, the competition among Snapdragon 8 Elite smartphones is poised to intensify.
