      Cool
      It's great seeing the Snapdragon processor getting better

      I do hope all of next year's gaming smartphones have built in fan's

        Let's hope it's not an overheating piece of crap like the Gen 1.

        Maybe they're doing this on purpose, so Android phone makers put in fancy cooling systems = charge a higher price.

            Apple is leading but they didn't improve the peak performance this year's chip not like they did in A15 Bionic.
            I am pretty sure Qualcomm will bring 20-30% more performance to peak and it will reach the single core performance to the edge like Apple done throw these years.
            but remember Apple will have crown always in phones CPU. cause!
            1:Overall the greatest GPU performance in any phone.
            2:Always being great with sustain and high end performance CPU wise.
            3:Smoothness its very smooth cause they use high end hardware from whatever company and they are doing this (APPLE WAY).

              10 years later: Snapdragon 22 gen 6 X plus max has 10 different grades of speed, all with different names.
              See more: Snapdragon 17 gen 6 Y and Snapdragon 17 gen 6 Y plus are also rumored to have at least 3 more speeds.
              etc.

                In near future someday we gonna actually see mobile chipset clocking as high as 5 ghz...

                  SuuperBaka, 16 Sep 2022Sony's working on iti did not understand what the original comment is refering to..can you explain it to me?

                    Josh , 16 Sep 2022The S23 Ultra will probably use the higher clocked 8 gen 2 ... moreThen samsung will still downclocked the "overclock variant" of snapdragon 8 gen 2

                      damn, I was hoping for 3nm. maybe next year?

                        there are no reports but only rumours that are published here, somehow they have to fill their website with letters, otherwise they wouldn't earn any money... :-)

                          Josh , 16 Sep 2022The S23 Ultra will probably use the higher clocked 8 gen 2 ... moreAnd regular models will get the lower clocked one. Great, everyone will really be pulling hard product segmentation even within their top line. Annoying.

                                Anonymous, 15 Sep 2022Phone companies aren't interested in any of that. They... more"Just look at Chinese phone makers. Even 150W doesn't seem to be enough for them when it comes to charging. Even though it's mostly pointless to go that far, but sure looks good on the paper"

                                It's not pointless, unfortunately, some people think they need those charging speeds when they don't.

                                  Sustained performance is key.

                                    Techgeek91, 16 Sep 2022I heard nuvia cores are for pc's and not smartphones....It would come to PC first, judging by Graph shown by Nuvia before Qualcomm Acquired them Nuvia core use between 0 and 4.5W per core, around 1W it can reach between 700 and 1700 Geekbench single core score, and Around 2 watts it can reach 1200 to 2200 single core. So if those data were true it can be used in smartphone too.

                                      This reminds me of what Nvidia did to the MX150 which had two variants and you wouldn't know which variant you have unless you open Device Manager and look for the Device ID of the GPU. The Stronger Nvidia MX150 had a Device ID with "1D10" in it's name while the weaker variant had a "1D12".
