Today, Chen Jin, general manager of Lenovo’s mobile phone business department in China, revealed the running scores of Motorola’s new Edge S series. The overall score of the smartphone on AnTuTu exceeds 850,000 points. This is only 150,000 points away from 1 million points. Chen Jin claims that the new Motorola Edge S series has a running score of 858,000. He believes that the adjustments of the Snapdragon 888+ SoC for non-gaming smartphones are perfect.
The next-generation flagship processor, successor to the Snapdragon 888+ is the Snapdragon 8 Gen1. Considering that the score of the Snapdragon 888+ exceeds 850,000 points, it appears that the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 will exceed 1 million points. Recall that its competitor, Dimensity 2000 (or Dimensity 9000) already exceeds 1 million points on AnTuTu.
Relative to the Snapdragon 888+, Snapdragon 8 Gen1’s super-core CPU is upgraded to Cortex X2 (Snapdragon 888+ is Cortex X1 super-core). Furthermore, Snapdragon 8 Gen1 upgrades to Samsung’s 4nm process. The GPU of this processor is the new Adreno 730 and it integrates Snapdragon X65 baseband.
