Macaulay Culkin, 24 Aug 2021^ This Qualcomm always claims 20% faster and my Pixel 3 ... moreWell before i bought Xiaomi Mi 11 lite 5G which i have for two months i had Moto X4 for 3 and half years and gave it to a friend for his daughter for comleting basic school.
Moto X4 with 4GB ram and SD630 smoothly run everything i instaled into phone.
Same did my Lenovo Vibeshot which i had before for 2 and half year.
Withonly 3GB ram and SD615.
So yes having faster CPU is fine on paper and thats it.
Apart the fact is much more expensive makes no real difference in real life usage.

Since 2015 i am plaing clash of lords 2 which is also a heavy game wih tons of animations in which require lot of CPU, GPU and Ram but even my old Lenovo Vibeshot with SD615 and 3GB ram was fine to run this game.

Just for example apple chips are fastest on any benchmark and are famous for throttling and lagging when playing heavy games such as PUBG or simmilar.

    Macaulay Culkin, 24 Aug 2021^ This Qualcomm always claims 20% faster and my Pixel 3 ... moreYou are confusing app opening and UI perfomance with performance.gains.

    These are oy small parts of the overall improvements.

    Try encoding or exporting a 4k video and you will see the difference.


    So no one is doing such ridiculous things on mobile phones, thus it feels like we are unable to feel the difference.

    The big difference is usually felt in Emulators


    Here after the only way to test performance and fully utilize it by using Skyline switch emulator when it comes out.

      Qualcomm always claims 20% faster and my Pixel 3 with Snapdragon 845 feels only 5% faster than my Essential Phone with 835. I think if you have a minimum of 835 or any 600 or 700 series from the last 2 years, you should be fine.

      Just played Shenmue via Redream on my Pixel 3 and no stutter. No audio stutter. Same with Dead Or Alive 2. My LG G5 will audio stutter though. The Snapdragon 835 was a great chip Qualcomm released 4 years ago. Doesn't run too hot either.

          But weather sealing in it, or keep the useless indoor phone.

              Hopefully the new chip is not plagued by throttling issues.
              Should be fine with active cooling, but have to see how well it is implemented.

                    Man every SD8XXX is 20% faster than its precedessor and still the difference is only ion paper.
                    Every SD6XX or 7XX with at least 4GB ram can run any game smoothly enough that the difference when playing on latest SD898 or lkesser chips will be equal.
                    Same goes for many else apps because nothing is more CPU and RAM hungra than a good game.

                      20% faster at 70°c celcius and can only maintain such performance for 20 seconds I suppose

                      Qualcomm has gone full YOLO, they are under alot of competition next year in the flagship space

                      And what makes matters worse is they are going with Samsung nm process instead of tsmc smh

                        I hope it survives the bend tests by JerryRigEverything.

                          them confirming this is like scientists confirming that water is wet.

                            I think this mighty titan... Could claim the crown for gaming phone of the year... 2022...
