MediaTek surpasses Qualcomm again: AnTuTu confirms which is more powerful

The fight for the first place in performance is still alive. A few weeks ago it was confirmed that Qualcomm was the most popular mobile processor brand in the world with a 63% market share. Today AnTuTu confirms that the chip with the best overall performance is held by MediaTek. The MediaTek Dimensity 9000 has just surpassed the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. It is not very common, although the difference between the chips is not too great and it remains a curiosity rather than an important milestone.

MediaTek exceeds 1,000,000 points in AnTuTu

The IT Home medium has carried out a test on the new Oppo Find X5 Pro , a device that is marketed with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and also with the Dimensity 9000. The AnTuTu test reveals that the Oppo with MediaTek exceeds one million points. Get the figure of 1,003,278 points .

It is the first device on the market that includes the new MediaTek processor , which has only been seen on test benches. The same test with the Qualcomm processor reveals a figure of 990,473 points , some 13,000 points less.

Is MediaTek or Qualcomm more powerful?

To begin with, the test is comparing the two most powerful chips from both companies and not the entire catalog of both. If we focus on these processors, we do see that the MediaTek chip is above the Qualcomm, although 13,000 points in AnTuTu is not a notable difference .

This means that both chips offer very good performance and that the MediaTek is slightly ahead when running this benchmark. This is something that, as a user, you may not notice. The difference is minimal and in everyday use of the device it is not relevant.

In addition, this test takes into account the general performance and various parameters. The Dimensity 9000 scores better overall, but worse in the GPU section. This section is in charge of managing the graphics for games and different applications.

And yes, on the GPU there is a difference of about 55,000 points , which is more noticeable than before. This means that the MediaTek has slightly better overall performance, but a gaming graphics system that is not as good as Qualcomm’s.

both are at the same height

The good news for users is not that MediaTek is 13,000 points higher or Qualcomm has a slightly better GPU. The real good news is that they are very evenly matched and almost on the same level.

Until a while ago Qualcomm dominated with some ease, something that is not happening right now. MediaTek has a very good competitor for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and you should take it into account when choosing.

If they offer you a mobile with the MediaTek Dimensity 9000, you should know that its performance will be identical, or very similar, to one with the Qualcomm Snapdrago 8 Gen 1.
