Hopefully it's better on battery and cooling. The regular Gen 1 is trash in comparison to the Snapdragon 888.

    I don't think it's TSMC despite rumours, unfortunately.

      I don't game so i don't care about benchmarks, i want nice battery life in a flagship phone. Bth SD 888 and 8gen1 are very poor in power management. Hopefully TSMC process can fix 8gen1.

        Love the Community, 11 May 2022Sad that Xperia 1 IV couldn't wait for this. I bet RoG... moreZenfone should have the same processor. Rog will definitely go with the plus version otherwise they would have launched it already.

              As usual it will also come with 10 critical security issues discovered in the first week.

Just put an iPhone in front of them and watch them implode because they just can't compute numbers that are small on paper, but deliver big in real world use. Like, they just can't seem to wrap their head around RAM amount on iPhones or smaller number of CPU cores or smaller number of megapixels on cameras. They just want bigger and bigger numbers on paper and they either don't know what they even mean or they just don't care for as long as they are bigger, even if they don't do anything meaningful.

                        MasEnha, 11 May 2022I'm aiming SD7-G1, will it be head to head to Dim 8100...benchmark has shown it hardly touches dimensity 1200 how will it compete with 8100? also digital chat station stated that sd 8 gen 1+ still have the same problems as its predecessor

                          this is great! that's mean the plus bring a lot of power reduction, i believe the power consumption will be like 40-30% reduction just like mediatek dimensity 9000 and don't forget qualcomm design always have better efficiency vs mediatek on same maf

                          for comparison sake let use 3dmark wild life score with 865 as base (best gpu with sustained performance )
                          865 gpu average 3800
                          870 gpu average 4150
                          888 gpu throttled/sustained 3500 , peak 5100
                          8 gen 1 throttled/sustained 6000 , peak 10.000

                          so we can see even 8 gen 1 phones with good cooling system still run 60% faster than 865 on throttling

                          now with 8 gen1+ add 10% performance we can see 11k score on 3dmark wild life and again for comparison

                          8 gen 1 throttled/sustained 6000
                          8 gen 1 with fan throttled/sustained 8000 (red magic 7)

                          so for my prediction :
                          8 gen 1+ throttled/sustained 8000 , peak 11k
                          8 gen 1+ with fan throttled/sustained 10k (red magic 7)

                          so basically a 8 gen1+ phone gpu is twice as fast as 865 phones which is great and the red magic series can almost reach almost 3x times the performance of 865

                          now the reason they don't OC the cpu because from the data (golden reviewer)the cortex x2 and a510 does not improve power consumption at all

                              nice move by qualcomm, instead of overclocking the cpu which has a power hungry cortex X series, they just overclocked the gpu. Asus will really going to use this plus version bcos it is now tsmc node instead of the samsung node, which they are tired to cool the sd 888/+

                                Phones equipped with this SOC will have a heater function out of box.

                                  omg yes tsmc's 8g1
                                  i hope it will get less heat than the vanilla 8 gen 1...

                                    An utterly pointless post... at least wait until next week then XD

                                      Hope it doesn't heat up like the power hungry 8gen1 looking forward to it..

                                        Sad that Xperia 1 IV couldn't wait for this. I bet RoG Phone 6 will have this along with a headphone jack. I'd unfortunately by RoG than Sony because of the TSMC made SD8G1+
