ROG Phone 8 Pro scored a multi-core score of 7,422; This is higher than any A17 Pro tested on the iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max. But Asus is hiding the single-core performance that Apple has historically dominated. Additionally, the ROG Phone’s focus on gaming means more efficient cooling, resulting in consistently high performance.
Benchmarking often gives an incomplete picture. Real-world usage and independent reviews will determine whether the ROG Phone 8 Pro delivers consistent performance in games and daily use. Thermal throttling has become an issue for the A17 Pro, especially in games like Genshin Impact. Asus’ focus on cooling may explain the impressive results in multi-core tests.
Recent reports of the A17 Pro’s bloated performance also warrant caution.
