The OnePlus 13 will reportedly be unveiled next month, which only means that the upcoming flagship will be taken through its paces and tested using various benchmark apps to gauge its performance. Well, the first indication of the handset’s single-core and multi-core prowess has been posted on Geekbench 6, with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 cementing its position as the fastest smartphone chipset on the planet. The A18 that was recently announced for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus is no match for Qualcomm’s latest and greatest, and a comparison with last year’s A17 Pro shows an even bigger lead.
We managed to search Geekbench’s database for these results but were unsuccessful in our attempts. Fortunately, tipster Digital Chat Station uploaded a screenshot of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 powering the OnePlus 13, along with its single-core and multi-core results. In short, the chipset runs circles around the competition. The specifications show that the flagship features 16GB of RAM, with the silicon’s CPU cluster being a ‘2 + 4’ configuration. The performance cores are running at an impressive 4.32GHz, higher than the A18’s 4.04GHz ceiling.
The single-core score obtained is 3,236, making it slower than the A18, which attained 3,409 in the same test that we reported on a few moments ago. However, the multi-core result is a whole new ball game, with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 obtaining an impressive 10,049 score, making it 18 percent faster than the A18’s updated figures and 39 percent faster than the A17 Pro powering the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s innards. It appears that Geekbench 6 is allowing the chipset to run at full tilt, enabling it to operate at higher frequencies, resulting in these unfathomable
