Hi Questers,


Hope that you all are doing fine and having a fun time in our iQOO Community.


In today's episode, we're talking about Dimensity 9300+ vs Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and it's pretty interesting, isn't it? Let's discuss about it!


MediaTek announced its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip in May this year, while Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 was released in October 2023. Both are flagship chipsets with amazing capabilities, powering a host of flagships from major smartphone brands.


The two flagship processors are built on the same TSMC's 4nm process but have different core configurations and hardware components

  • Multi Core : 6756

Dimensity 9300+ vs Snapdragon 8 Gen 3: CPU, GPU & NPU

The Dimensity chip is equipped with four powerful Cortex-X4 cores, while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has one. However, the latter has more Cortex-A720 cores, which is slightly less powerful than Cortex-X4 but is more power efficient.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 also has two power-efficient Cortex-A520 cores.

The core configuration suggests the Dimensity 9300+ will lead the performance game, but the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 should offer a good balance of performance and battery. It also depends on the software optimizations, among many other factors.

The Dimensity 9300+ is head-to-head with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the CPU performance, but there's a significant gap in the GPU performance. The Dimensity chip disappoints when it comes to sustaining a heavy GPU workload, but it's still one of the best here.

Dimensity 9300+ vs Snapdragon 8 Gen 3: Which is Better?

Dimensity 9300+ and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 offer a nearly matched CPU performance, competing closely in single-core and multi-core benchmarks. However, on the GPU front, the Snapdragon chip is clearly ahead of the Dimensity 9300+, but the latter is still one of the best.


The Dimensity chip does a respectable job when it comes to gaming, but the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is a better option, in my opinion. However, the difference is unnoticeable in regular usage.
