The funny thing is, Dimensity 8100 is not even flagship hardware. That credentials belong to the Dimensity 9000 SoC, which also managed to give better scores than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. This claim has been made based on a recently leaked test result of an upcoming Realme phone which managed to score higher multi-thread score Geekbench 5 benchmark tests.

The device codenamed RMX3562, dubbed to be the Realme GT Neo 3 phone, got 4071 as the multi-thread score on Geekbench 5. When you compare this score with the 3752 of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, the performance tests show a noticeable bump in quality.

As per the results, only the Apple A15 Bionic got a higher score than Dimensity 8100.

These results are surprising for two reasons. Firstly, the Dimensity 8100 is not a flagship-level SoC, which the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is. And secondly, the Dimensity 8100 chipset is based on the 5nm architecture, while the Dimensity 9000 and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 are based on the newer 4nm process.

Some suggest that MediaTek and Apple benefit from getting their chipsets manufactured by TSMC from Taiwan, while Qualcomm depends on Samsung for its fab production.
