      I do not think vivo is letting X3 reach its correct frequency.
      Regular score is 5200.

          Ideal scenario Oem include software to Underclock Cpu and leave Gpu as it is, we may get true Sd 865 successor.

                George399, 09 Dec 2022It's too hard to check the chipset in real situation? ... moreExactly. Remember last year when Realme cheated the benchmark with the GT 5G and got banned by AnTuTu for three months? It really does show that benchmarks scores aren't everything.

                  rizki1, 09 Dec 2022for phones this is beyond impressive, this is more suitable... moreYou cant use flagship soc in cheap laptop, also Arm is Behind Intel/Amd/Apple when it come ro perfomance, they regressed a lot past two years, unless Qualcomm Use Nuvia these Soc have no chance against Laptop class Cpu.

                    The more important question to answer here is that has Qualcomm fixed the 8/8+ Gen 1's subpar thermal management?

                        this is not a full test ... where is the battery consumption, overheating, deepsleep. only a marketing test far from daily usage as always. expect surprise as always !

                          It's too hard to check the chipset in real situation? Benchmarks = flawed conclusions

                              The Multicore score is bad, Fraud Qualcomm showed the scores were 5200 in Geekbench, and now the mukticore score is merely 4800 WTFFFFF????

                                for phones this is beyond impressive, this is more suitable for laptops. At least a cheap laptop, can you imagine what 8 Gen 3 is for?
