Snapdragon 778G vs Snapdragon 780G – Benchmarks
Snapdragon 780G powered Xiaomi Mi 11 Youth Edition is able to grab a score of 693 in single-cores and 2058 in multi-cores on Geekbench 5 and also scored 5,00,000+ score on ANTUTU Benchmark. Snapdragon 778G is recently revealed and there is no phone revealed with that chipset so there are no benchmarks available for this chipset but as the specifications suggest the processor will score a little less than SD 780G.
Conclusion
Snapdragon 778G has no major changes except it is built on a 6nm fabrication process, comes with Adreno 642GL GPU, and Qualcomm 5.0 charging technology support. So the performance of Snapdragon 778G can be expected similar to Snapdragon 780G except that no major heating issues will be observed while testing the smartphone powered with this chipset.
