Motorola Moto X40 with SD 8 Gen 2 breaks AnTuTu high score
The Motorola Moto X40, likely to be known as the Edge 40 Pro in western markets, still awaits its release. We've had numerous reports and leaks and we know for a fact that it's running the recently announced Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset from Qualcomm. Now Lenovo's General Manager of the mobile business arm shared its AnTuTu score.
The 1,312,901 result is around 30% higher than what we get on Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-powered smartphones. Even the Plus variant of the SoC barely gets past the 1 million points barrier. In fact, some handsets post less than that. This seems to be in line with Qualcomm's claims of about 35% performance increase over the last generation.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 employs next-gen ARM CPU cores - 1x Cortex-X3, 4x Cortex-A715 and 3x Cortex-A510 along with a new Adreno GPU promising around 25% improvement.
