Nothing’s new budget offering, the CMF Phone 1, is equipped with the Dimensity 7300 chipset. In the same price bracket, Realme P1 and Narzo 70 come with the Dimensity 7050 and pose as a strong contender. That said, you might be wondering what is the performance difference between the two processors. To find out, we have run many tests and benchmarks on Dimensity 7300 and 7050. So let’s go ahead and check out the findings.
Dimensity 7300 vs 7050: Specs Overview
Here is the specs comparison between Dimensity 7300 and Dimensity 7050.

Geekbench 6 CPU Benchmark
From the Geekbench test, it’s clear that Dimensity 7300 offers better CPU performance than Dimensity 7050. Dimensity 7300 scores 1,018 and 2,920 in single-core and multi-core tests, respectively. Whereas Dimensity 7050 achieves 952 and 2,380 points in the same Geekbench test.
Both processors come with the same older ARM cores — Cortex-A78 and Cortex-A55 — however, Dimensity 7300 has 4x A78 cores whereas 7050 has only two such cores. On top of that, Dimensity 7300 is fabricated on TSMC’s 4nm process node, but Dimensity 7050 is a year-old chip, so it’s fabricated on TSMC’s older 6nm process node. This means, in terms of efficiency too, Dimensity 7300 has a lead.
| Dimensity 7300 | Dimensity 7050 | |
|---|---|---|
| Single-core | 1,018 | 952 |
| Multi-core | 2,920 | 2,380 |
AnTuTu Benchmark
Next, in the AnTuTu benchmark, Dimensity 7300 achieves a total score of 637,177 points whereas Dimensity 7050 comes very close, standing at 612,320. The CPU performance seems pretty close in this test, however, in GPU, there is a 20% performance difference. In the storage test as well, the CMF Phone 1 does better than the Realme Narzo 70 Pro.
| Dimensity 7300 | Dimensity 7050 | |
|---|---|---|
| AnTuTu Score | 637,177 | 612,320 |
| CPU | 183,575 | 182,641 |
| GPU | 145,772 | 116,443 |
| Memory | 144,038 | 150,271 |
| UX | 163,792 | 162,965 |
| Storage Test | 78,386 | 69,585 |

CPU Throttling Test
In the CPU Throttling test, both processors did a great job. Dimensity 7300 throttled to 94% of its maximum performance with no substantial drop in performance. However, the Realme Narzo 70 Pro, powered by Dimensity 7050, does even better. Its CPU doesn’t throttle at all which is amazing. Realme has baked in a large VC cooling system in Narzo 70 Pro and the result speaks for itself.
3DMark Wild Life Stress Test
Next, in the 3DMark Wild Life Stress test that evaluates the GPU, Dimensity 7300’s Mali-G615 MC2 GPU is about 36% faster than the Mali-G68 MC4 GPU in Dimensity 7050. That’s a huge difference while the stability remains almost the same on both. processors. As I said above, the GPU is pretty disappointing on the Dimensity 7050.
| Dimensity 7300 | Dimensity 7050 | |
|---|---|---|
| Best loop score | 3,137 | 2,293 |
| Lowest loop score | 3,109 | 2,285 |
| Stability | 99.1% | 99.6% |
