Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 unveiled: 30% more efficient, 10% faster

20 May 2022
The new chip keeps the hardware effectively the same, but the new 4nm process allowed for higher clock speeds and lower power draw.

I'm talking relative to the D9000 and even the 8100

      increase in GPU speed and 30% power efficient lured me..

                  Not even a single word about thermals issues !

                    Based on gsmarenas benchmarks reviews this thing is still drawing about 10W

                    That is not efficient.... So it looks like tsmc NM didn't help that much

                    But as usual Qualcomm Will be given the "apple logo treatment"and people will automatically grant them favor blindly

                      doubtful...

                        Anonymous, 20 May 2022More marketing hype from Qualcomm.Well that what left in them I guess. I'm just hoping MediaTek will take over rather real quick.

                          Ibn Batuta, 20 May 2022And 100% more throttling If there is no mention of the heat management issue then you are right. It's still Qualcomm in the end.

                            Finally they focused on power efficiency more than performance. Though 30% is on GPU, not CPU...

                              This should been released initially instead of the hungry hot first one

                                We need consistent Qualcomm consistent

                                    All thanks to the tsmc 🤩

                                      And 100% more throttling
