I took the AI scores from https://ai-benchmark.com/ranking_processors.html and plotted them by segment, brand and year, to give an overview of how the SoCs compare to each other.
What I find notable:
- There are huge performance gaps between the flagship and high-end segments.
- The Snapdragon 7+ are punching above what their 7-series branding imply, while the 8s SoCs are very close and far below the regular 8 series.
- Dimensity has increased their AI performance hugely in the past two generations
- A four year old Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor is still better than any Snapdragon 7 series, the 8s Gen3 and any Dimensity other than the 9300 and 9400.
Exynos scores are less interesting, since they are only benchmarked on their GPUs, and not NPUs. Also the A17 Pro scores 3428, just under the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, for reference.
