Xiaomi 14’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Is Now The Fastest Mobile SoC In Geekbench 6’s Multi-Core Tests, Beats The A17 Pro Thanks To New CPU Cluster
The Xiaomi 14 will be one of the first flagships to be announced with Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, so it would be assumed that the SoC would perform the same as seen in previous Geekbench 6 leaks. Not quite, as these results certainly caught us off-guard, with the A17 Pro unable to match the multi-core performance of the chipset, though single-core results are a whole different story.
The device that was spotted in Geekbench 6’s database is the ‘Xiaomi 23127PN0CC,’ and it features 16GB of RAM, with the testing board codenamed ‘houji.’ While nothing is out of the ordinary here, the CPU cluster is different compared to what we reported yesterday. Just recently, a leaked Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 slide showed that Qualcomm has adopted a ‘1 + 5 + 2’ CPU cluster, but Geekbench 6 shows one core running at 3.30GHz and three operating at a 3.15GHz frequency.
Two other cores are said to function at 2.96GHz, making both just a fraction short of the 3.00GHz mark. Overall, the ‘1 + 3 + 2 + 2’ cluster enables Xiaomi 14 to post a multi-core score of 7,494, making it the fastest result we have ever seen from a mobile chipset. The feat obtained by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has allowed it to beat Apple’s 3nm A17 Pro powering the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, which attained a multi-core result of 7,024.
Unfortunately, in the comparison below, the A17 Pro has the last laugh in the single-core test, where the latter is 29 percent faster than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. These results are interesting to see as the Xiaomi 14 is able to achieve these numbers while running a 4nm SoC, which will have improved power efficiency, but at least on paper, it lags behind TSMC’s 3nm architecture.
