The Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 is the latest mid-range SoC from the house of Qualcomm. It was launched in July, this year and is built on a 6nm process node. A couple of Motorola smartphones have already packed this chipset into their devices. But if you are interested in how this SoC fares in the benchmarking tests, you have come to the right place. We ran all the popular benchmarking tests like AnTuTu and Geekbench on this chipset, and here’s how it performed.
Note: All the scores mentioned in this article are run on the Moto G85, powered by the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 chipset.
Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 AnTuTu Score
An AnTuTu score plays an important role in smartphone buying decisions, especially in India. It is primarily used to assess the performance of smartphones by evaluating the CPU, GPU, memory, and UX performance of the chipset. During our test, the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 could secure an overall score of 471,687. Here’s the complete breakdown:
| AnTuTu Benchmark | Score |
| CPU | 150,469 |
| GPU | 90,187 |
| Memory | 103,962 |
| UX | 127,069 |
| Overall | 471,687 |
To provide a broader context, we conducted the same tests on other smartphones that fall under the same category. The results are as follows:
Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 Geekbench Scores
Geekbench is another popular benchmarking tool. It measures a device’s performance, focusing primarily on CPU performance. It provides separate scores for single-core and multi-core tasks, allowing users to assess how well a device handles different workloads. Here’s how the 6s Gen 3 performed:
| CPU Benchmarks | Score |
| Geekbench Single-core | 926 |
| Geekbench Multi-core | 2,145 |
To provide a better context, we ran the Geekbench test on other smartphones in the same category.
