Snapdragon 8 Elite with fan outperforms Apple M2 as RedMagic 10 Ultra shines in benchmark leak
Following a leaked photo of the Nubia RedMagic 10 Ultra, the successor to the RedMagic 9S Pro has now just been tested at Geekbench. Thanks to the combination of the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite and a cooling fan, the smartphone reached an impressive score of 3,229 points on just one core and 10,300 points when using all cores.
This makes Nubia's latest gaming flagship around 42.2% faster than its own predecessor based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The performance of the Realme GT7 Pro, which is also equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Elite, is outperformed by 7.2% and 12.6%, respectively, and that from the very first Geekbench run. As initial tests of the Realme GT7 Pro have shown, the performance of the smartphone drops drastically under sustained load, so the fan can pay off for gaming enthusiasts in particular.
| Geekbench 6 (Single-Core) | Geekbench 6 (Multi-Core) | |
|---|---|---|
| RedMagic 10 Ultra (Snapdragon 8 Elite) | 3,229 | 10,300 |
| Realme GT7 Pro (Snapdragon 8 Elite) | 3,011 | 9,143 |
| iPhone 16 Pro (Apple A17 Pro) | 3,461 | 8,546 |
| RedMagic 9 Pro (Snapdragon 8 Gen 3) | 2,270 | 7,151 |
| Apple M2 | 2,599 | 10,089 |
With this result, the RedMagic 10 Ultra not only surpasses the performance of the Apple A18 Pro in the iPhone 16 Pro, but also the performance of the Apple M2, making the smartphone faster than the MacBook Air from 2022, at least in terms of CPU performance. As previous leaks have already shown, the RedMagic 10 Ultra also offers high-end features beyond the Snapdragon 8 Elite, including a 7-inch display and 7,000 mAh battery. The smartphone is expected to be officially unveiled in November.
Why not benchmark it against M4 with a fan lol? Qualcomm will go at amazing lengths to make them win in a leaked benchmark and then once this releases it won’t even achieve that. All modern phone chips are fast enough anyway but this is desperate even for Qualcomm and tech media should stop enabling it.

May be because Apple doesn't use the M series on their latest iPhones and the comparison is that it beats a completely different form factor?
Aren’t those Snapdragon chips used in Windows ARM computers as well? Also, M-series chips are based off A-series so they’re not that different really.
At this point just give me a lapdock that allows my phone to be the track pad. Kinda bored of this whole phone is separate situation. Also....give me the ability to unlock my bootload Samsung. You fucking pricks...
You mentioned Bootloader Unlock so I was going to day Pixel. But, then I remembered they use Tensor instead of 8 Elite.
Your options will be limited to 8 Elite smartphones supporting phones which allow that.
Yea I have an s23u ultra. This is my last smart phone after this it's flip phone and tablet. Even possibly just a MS surface with Linux mint.
