barti, 27 Sep 2025Antutu 10 - 3 mln Antutu 11 - 4 mlnantutu scores are a overrated / misleading

Several years ago I bought an Asus smartphone which had a score of around 23,000 on antutu at that time

A smartphone I bought last month can do over 2 million on antutu, but that doesn't mean that it's a hundred times more powerful

It's just that every antutu version inflates the score for every processor. While there are actual performance gains with the latest chipsets for sure, but the way antutu displays them is quite unreal and tbh a bit misleading

    Where is the (+-) 4 million antutu score?

      barti, 27 Sep 2025Antutu 10 - 3 mln Antutu 11 - 4 mln8 Elite already gets 3M on V10

        L.O.R.D, 27 Sep 2025Why is Tensor on the list ? That's a mid-range chip at bestEven Huawei's performs better, and that's under sanctions.

          Wait, you put tests which you said "shouldn't be compared between platforms" but you didn't run Geekbench?

                  Not sure why Chinese testers already have full suite of tests done on 9500, SD8EG5 on both reference phone and retail phones but reviewers in the west don't even have reference phone

                    Dimensity 9500 is the true king. this time
                    Unfourtunately that 5 letter retatuber will say crapdragon is better

                            I have no idea how you guys benchmark the phones but every 8eg5 phone I've seen has crossed the 4m mark on Antutu. Even last year's phones with the 8 Elite was able to score over 3M so there's clearly something wrong with this.

                              Some Post said antutu 4 million for gen 5

                                Very nice results. But, big improvent will come with 1.8 nm CPU's (18 Angström). Probably they will build 12 Cores (Dodeca Cores) and try to pass 5.0+Ghz on Mobile Chips. If they will solve cooling problem on Phones, they will try to reach 6.00+ Ghz, at least in 2 Performance cores. 2026 will be great year for big improvements for all companies...

                                  So since we already can play RDR2 on something like 8 Gen 2 with proper drivers Elite 5 should be able to run even newest games especially in phones like RedMagic with active cooling

                                        So is slower than Mediatek Dimensity 9500 in Vivo X300 Pro and Oppo X9 Pro
