My vivo iQOO Z8x that has the snapdragon 6 gen 1 scored 595k total in antutu with the below breakdown: CPU: 196,823 GPU: 135,877 MEM: 133,544 UX: 129,742 So practically it's almost the same as Snapdragon 778g which scored 597k, slightly higher than my Z8x's Snapdragon 6 gen 1 of 595k.

My Huawei Nova 9 has a Snapdragon 778G with a 612k AnTuTu score. So, yeah, almost the same, but the 778G is much more powerful than the 6 Gen 1.

Idk, Not really scores don't lie but real world performance wise no difference in light task but sd778g shines in med-heavy task especially in sustainability known for its name as midrange optimized processor

Kobe, Yeah and the snapdragon 778g is made by TSMC so it will heat less be more stable and optimized and is comparatively better than the sd gen 1

In gaming 778G absolutely dominates against 6 Gen 1, but I think 6 Gen 1 was made to be more like a daily CPU, while 778G is primarily for gaming for mid rangers.
