With the release of the enhanced Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, flagship phones are flooding the market in mid-to-late October, all vying for dominance. One of the most notable features is the use of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, resulting in a significant performance boost compared to the same period last year. The power is so remarkable that some consumers question if the performance is truly that impressive.

This article takes the recently released RedMagic 10 Pro+ as an example, providing an in-depth analysis of the performance improvements brought by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, the actual performance of this flagship in gaming scenarios, and a glimpse into its future potential.

RedMagic 10 Pro+s Hard-Core Configuration

The RedMagic 10 Pro+ boasts a sincere hardware configuration within its price range, leading to a comprehensive upgrade in performance:

• Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy as standard across the board: As the core component, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy is key to the performance upgrade.

• 1.5K True Full-Screen Display as standard across the board: The high-resolution screen provides a more refined visual experience.

• LPDDR5X Ultra + UFS4.0 Pro memory as standard across the board: Enhances memory performance and boosts phone running speed.

• Brand-new active + passive cooling combo as standard across the board: Designed for high-performance chips to ensure stable operation.

AnTuTu Benchmark: Over 3 Million Performance Points

Under normal room temperature and non-laboratory conditions, the RedMagic 10PRO+ achieved an AnTuTu benchmark score of over 3 million, making it the highest scoring model weve tested in similar environments. Compared to the lowest score, it surpasses by a significant 14.19%. This performance gap is quite substantial.

In-Depth Analysis of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy Performance

Comprehensive CPU Performance Enhancements:

• In GeekBench 6 testing, the RedMagic 10PRO+ scored 3183 points in the single-core test and 10032 points in the multi-core test.

• CPU performance surpasses the Dimensity 9400, with single-core performance very close to the A18 Pro and a clear advantage in multi-core performance.

• Compared to the previous generation RedMagic 9SPro+, single-core performance is boosted by 45% and multi-core performance by 45%, aligning with the official statement of a "45% performance boost."

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxys self-developed Oryon CPU architecture plays a pivotal role:

• All-core architecture with a super-core clock speed reaching 4.32GHz, a feature previously only found in desktop processors.

• 6 large cores also have a clock speed of 3.53GHz.

• The self-developed architecture allows Snapdragon to adapt the architecture based on its needs.

• L3 cache is directly eliminated, and the 2 super-cores and 6 large cores each share 12MB of L2 cache, allowing each core to utilize sufficient cache resources.

• Overall running speed and performance are greatly enhanced, significantly reducing lag.

GPU Performance Breakthrough: Adreno GPU Slicing Architecture:

• The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy introduces the Adreno GPU slicing architecture for the first time, resulting in a 40% increase in GPU performance and a 40% reduction in power consumption.

• In the 3DMark Extreme Stress Test, the performance output of the RedMagic 10PRO+ is almost a straight line, exhibiting extreme stability.

• Even under high temperature and high load conditions, the performance output remains stable. This is exceptionally beneficial for demanding applications and games.

Real-World Game Testing: Benchmarking Popular Games

Genshin Impact:

• At the highest graphics settings + 60 frame mode, running Natlan for 30 minutes, the RedMagic 10PRO+ maintains a stable frame rate of 60 FPS, with a power consumption of 4.1W. The frame rate curve is almost a straight line, displaying no fluctuation or lag.

• CPU utilization is extremely low, the two super-cores remain at low frequencies, and the 6 large cores alone are sufficient to achieve a 60 FPS gaming experience, indicating significant performance headroom.

Honor of Kings:

• Average frame rate is 120.2 FPS, with a power consumption of only 2.6W.

• Core frequency is not as high as in Genshin Impact, but it can still easily handle high frame rate games.

Tower of Fantasy:

• Highest graphics settings + 60 FPS, stable map exploration at 60 FPS, power consumption of 3.7W, the most fluid mobile experience.

• Even in games that demand significant CPU performance overhead, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy still offers considerable performance headroom.

Tower of Fantasy Style Security Guard Battle:

• The frame rate curve is almost a straight line. Even if we include the 0-frame loading screens, it maintains 59 FPS with a power consumption of 3.9W.

Emulator Running 3A Games:

• The RedMagic 10PRO+ can install emulators to play a wide range of PC or console platform 3A games.

• For example, "Mario Kart 8" can maintain a high frame rate of 60 FPS.

Future Potential of the Snapdragon Platform:

• Qualcomm has a strong partnership with Unreal Engine 5, aiming to provide a gaming experience on mobile devices that approaches that of consoles or PCs.

• Games such as "Naraka: Bladepoint Mobile" and "Sword of the Three Kingdoms Online 3" are starting to trend towards making gameplay and data, even visuals, closer and interconnected between mobile and PC versions.

• The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy still has considerable performance headroom when running mainstream mobile games. Some games even don't require the super-cores.

• As an upstream manufacturer, Qualcomm needs to be ahead of the curve, providing more potential to be explored. This will provide terminal manufacturers and consumers with a more excellent and novel gaming experience.

Conclusion:

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy powering the RedMagic 10 Pro+ demonstrates powerful performance capabilities, enabling smooth operation of various mainstream games, even 3A games, delivering an unparalleled gaming experience for users.

Looking ahead to 2025, various types of flagship phones will further exploit the performance potential and technical prowess of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy. We eagerly await the true value of this chip in the future.
