There are performance improvements on all fronts, but Qualcomm stayed focused on efficiency. There are also AI and modem improvements.

wait. So there is only 2 SoC chip manufacturers? Why does this remind me of nvidia vs ati ...

    Shadocx, 16 Nov 2022https://www.gsmarena.com/qualcomm_snapdragon_8_gen_1_unveil... moreNeither were the other brands. Try to look at the article you comment on, before trying to pick an argument. Even though I know that's the only reason you are here. You simply can't stay away from me. xD

      Only feels like yesterday we got WiFi 6.

        "Ray tracing" for shitty graphic p2w microtransaction-ridden mobile games. Sounds about right 🤣🤣🤣

          4K at 60Hz 🤔
          How does the Xperia 1 III and IV works in 4k 120Hz ? Or is there a special chip handling that ?

            Finally‼️ snapdragon would most likely be defeated by Mediatek, this time around

              Finally, ROG phone with none plus version.
              Samsung should admit their inferior dhip and use SD8g2 too.

                Anonymous, 16 Nov 2022Gonna claim mediatek is better based on benchmark like done... moreWhy need phones when MediaTek share a test device to reviewers. If your famous "reviewer" didn't test it is because is a mediocre or MediaTek didn't pay him.

                    this! -> efficiency
                    they got it right in sd865 family (sd865+ sd870)
                    and messed up on sd888 and sd8g1 series...
                    enough with "antutu attention seeking" soc...
                    it is nice to have faster processing...
                    but throttling them down because of inefficiency is not nice at all...
                    besides, previous soc prior to sd888 are fast enough to do all tasks - even with desktop mode and heavy apps...

                        and battery got worst

                              MSA1, 16 Nov 2022That's insane! Imagine where we will be after 10 yearsIn another sh*tty situation.

                                Snapdragonite, 16 Nov 2022RIP Dimensity 9200 lol, SD8 Gen2 will blow it out of the water.Bro your nickname erases all the value of your comments

                                  The gap between flagship Socs have virtually closed

                                  Even the D9200 has has a comparable GPU to the A16

                                  And even if the 8 gen 2 is better it will not be leap's and bounds ahead

                                  Come on man

                                    how hot is it?

                                      okay, so we will only need a single 300w charging and 3pages of foldable fans from each direction. easy peasy!
