I was pretty impressed when I*
benchmarked MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 processor inside the new
OPPO Find X8 Pro. While it might not quite top the tables, it’s certainly no slouch, and our stress test results suggest plenty of thermal headroom to make it a brilliant choice for those protracted gaming sessions. But can it keep up with the mighty Snapdragon when it comes to real-world games? I grabbed the new flagship and a bunch of the most popular Android titles to see how the phone fairs in the real world.
I have the high-performing
ASUS ROG Phone 9 Pro gaming phone, which packs a powerhouse Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, to compare against, along with the *
Google Pixel 8 Pro  with a considerably more mid-range GPU implementation. I’ve also included the ASUS Zenfone 11 Ultra with its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor as an example of last-gen performance. Before we get into the results, however, let’s take a look at some benchmarks to see where we would expect things to stand.
