- A leaked benchmark has appeared for the ROG Phone 9
- The score indicates a jump in AI processing performance
- Asus will unveil the gaming phone on November 19
The Asus ROG Phone 9 is likely to be one of the best gaming phones of the year, and we know it will officially launch on November 19. Now a new benchmark leak gives us an idea of how powerful this device could be.
As noted by MySmartPricethe Asus ROG Phone 9 has appeared in the Geekbench ML database. The ML (machine learning) benchmark tests how well a phone can handle various artificial intelligence tests, and the Asus device scored 1812.
For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S24 scored 1243 in the same test, so we’re looking at a pretty substantial leap forward in AI – even if the Asus ROG Phone 9 doesn’t have all the Galaxy AI software tricks. by Samsung.
We’ll have to wait and see if the phone comes with Gemini Nano on board – that’s the local AI model developed by Google, which helps perform AI tasks (like image and voice recognition) on the device without sending anything to the cloud to steer.
Specifications are appealing
The benchmark listing also confirms that the Asus ROG Phone 9 will use Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite processor – something we already knew – and will feature a massive 24GB of RAM to further boost performance.
Those spec bumps help explain the high AI processing score: if you read our Asus ROG Phone 8 review you’ll see that it tops out at 12GB of RAM and has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor inside, which arrived at the start of the month was launched. 2024.
However, the current Pro model hits the same level of 24GB of RAM – see our Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro review for details – so it’s likely we’re looking at the Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro here, rather than the standard version.
We were particularly impressed with what the Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro had to offer, so we’re excited to see what its successor will bring with it – and once Asus makes all the details official, you can read about it on Ny Breaking.
