AnTuTu’s March charts show Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 beating the Dimensity 9300


The AnTuTu benchmark puts out monthly charts showing us which chipsets scored highest, and today the one for March is out. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 beat the Dimensity 9300 to take the AnTuTu crown for March 2024, but there are plenty of caveats.

First off, these numbers are only tallied for device versions that have had at least 1,000 AnTuTu benchmark runs in a month. If there’s a higher-end iteration of one model that isn’t present, that’s because less than 1,000 runs were performed on that specific variant. Also, AnTuTu’s chart only counts benchmark runs performed in China. With all that out of the way, here are the numbers.

As you can see, the Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage, was the king in March, with an average score of 2,141,448. It’s followed closely by the Oppo Find X7 with the Dimensity 9300, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage, with an average score of 2,138,119. Coming in third is the iQOO 12 with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage, managing an average score of 2,110,595.

In fourth is the Red Magic 9 Pro+ with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, followed by the vivo X100 Pro with the Dimensity 9300, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage. The bottom half of the top 10 is completed by the iQOO Neo9 Pro, iQOO 12 Pro, vivo X100, nubia Z60 Ultra, and Oppo Find X7 Ultra, all of which have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 at the helm with the exception of the iQOO Neo9 Pro and the vivo X100.

So all of the models present in the top 10 are equipped with either Qualcomm’s latest and greatest, or MediaTek’s. Conspicuously missing from the chart is any Xiaomi device whatsoever, perhaps signifying that that company is less focused on optimizing its smartphones for AnTuTu these days. Or, if you want to see the proverbial glass half empty, you could assume from that that Xiaomi’s top dogs can’t match the performance and thermals of its competitors.

AnTuTu also has a separate chart for mid-range chipsets, and here the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 wins, courtesy of the OnePlus Ace 3V which leads with an average of 1,466,728 points. It’s followed by the Redmi K70E with the Dimensity 8300-Ultra SoC, averaging 1,391,125 points, and the Realme GT Neo5 SE powered by the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 SoC, averaging 1,156,867 points.

Next up is the Redmi Note 12 Turbo with the same Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chipset, and the top five is rounded out by the Oppo Reno11 with its Dimensity 8200. The rest of the top 10 consists of the iQOO Neo7 SE (Dimensity 8200), the iQOO Z8 (Dimensity 8200), the Redmi Note 12T Pro (Dimensity 8200-Ultra), the OnePlus Ace (Dimensity 8100-Max), and the Honor 100 (Snapdragon 7 Gen 3).

The presence of the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 in first place and the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 in last place shows you how misleading Qualcomm’s naming scheme can be, as the former averages about 75% more points compared to the latter.
