Nobody has noticed the lower performance for over a year, but everyone will notice the lower battery consumption and heat generated.
So why is this a big deal? Because fanboys of other brands want to take a shot at this brand.

So... the China brand lovers were all critisising Samsung for throttling apps and guess who comes next? Beloved Xiaomi!
Never stop laughing to China lovers.

It's not for OEMs to underclock the chipsets. I buy a Snapdragon 888, I want it to perform. I don't want it overclocked or underclocked. It's like they're trying to protect us from ourselves. If I choose to root the phone and overclock it and mess up the phone or drastically reduce it's shelf life, that's on me. It's like buying a Ferrari with a capped speedometer at 90mph. It's fast but it should go faster and I want to be able to take it to a safe environment and drive at over 150mph if I want to.

Muthu, 28 Mar 2022Qualcomm is expected to launch SD 8 Gen 1 plus SoC made in ... moreAccording to energy usage tests of the latest Dimensity 8100 vs other SoCs using Cortex x1/2 cores have shown that they’re using more power but aren’t necessarily providing strides of extra performance that makes the extra energy use all that worth it, especially considering that for all a mobile is used for you don’t need anymore performance than a SD860/870 offers the user.
The Dimensity 8100 & 9000 however on the surface do seem better chipset choice than those from Qualcomm or Samsung, just saying.

Phone sacrifices performance of many apps, except benchmark. This way you will not notice when you antutu/geekbench score have normal numbers.
It is not just games.
Samsung is doing to 10.000 apps.

Also, they do not care if device is gonna run at 30 or 60 degrees.
OEMs know how greedy people are and know they are gonna buy anyway.
Many phones were sold with 810 (Sony, Htc, OnePlus, LG, Motorola, Microsoft etc).

Is this not the reason that android manufacturer huawei places varying degrees of performance control within battery setting, which alters the way in which the phone including the CPU is used.
If the SD888 doesn’t need to be used at full power all the time for all app that aren’t labour intensive then it can save energy.

Anonymous, 28 Mar 2022The difference is not going to be that dramatic. In terms of raw power, that might be the case. But in terms of efficiency (performance per watt), it is expected to be much better. However, it is all speculation at this time, so we need to wait for actual announcement of the SoC, tests done on the phones with that SoC to be sure about it.

I used to disable GOS back in Android 10/11. When I installed Android 12 I was like "My phone has a slighy lower framerate but temp and stability is actually good now". I found out Samsung secretly put GOS back in Android 12. I was actually grateful.

Underclocking the processor because the os is thinking it's a game and you get stable framerates and no throthling in games. Is that a problem?! They are not overclocking in the benchmark,so they're NOT cheating.

That SoC is expected to be efficient and powerful. May be, you should wait for phones to launch with that SoC. You can also consider buying phones with Mediatek Dimensity 9000 (if and when available).

On returning the SoCs, may be, I should have worded it better. The OEMs should have refused to buy the new flagships SoCs (SD 888/SD 8G1) after testing them during trial run. And insisted to Qualcomm for bringing out better efficient flagship SoC, instead of buying pathetic SoCs at huge cost.

This year i started with S22 ultra and after i returned both of them, because they s u c k s big time, with lagg, flickering displays bad performance overall , i rly stop buying phones right now.
Maybe i finally should try my first iphone since the 5S. But think i just wait to see what will happens the following year.
Sh it ty mobile brands.

This is shameful on the part of OEMs. If Qualcomm is not up-to-the mark with their flagship SoCs, then the OEMs should not try to hide it with these shenanigans. They should just return these SoCs to Qualcomm and stop buying those SoCs at that cost and use the previous year flagship SoCs until Qualcomm can get its act together. By doing these shenanigans, Android OEMs are losing the trust of high end customers and may lose them forever to Apple and in-turn long term profitability of sustaining their own business.
