We benchmark the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2: solid CPU gains, impressive GPU upgrade

09 December 2022
This is a major improvement over the original Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Even the faster 8+ Gen 1 is left miles behind, especially in GPU performance.

While most android flagship can utilize the powerful chipset for emulator(can play switch and PS2 smoothly even for midrange), desktop mode with the USB 3 etc of course android win

          LOL, 09 Dec 2022Nope. It got sanctioned because of the China CCP regime... moreYeah cause they were almost eating Apple's Marketshare with their well optimized SoCs that outperforms both Qualcomm Ovendragons & Samsungs Crappynos. MediaTek was just a figment of imagination pre-ban/sanction by usa.

          Keep eating those usa msm lies.

              Regarding the upcoming Qualcomm snapdragon 8 gen 2 chip promises to be a powerful chip with high benchmark performance, this is somewhat tarnished by the fact that apple already has the a16 bionic chip that's even more powerful as well as having even higher benchmark performance in their iPhone 14 pro and the 14 pro max. And then add to that since apple makes both their chip and software thus giving near perfect efficiency and optimization vs Qualcomm not making software and only the chip makes it even more one sided in Apple's favor.
              You could say apple has won the contest before the a16 bionic vs. 8 gen 2 contest even started. Now that's incredible.

                I wait for 8gen2+ which will fix if any problems but so far look good.

                  TLDR. This better be made by TSMC and not scamsung. Scamsung's overheats.

                    They keep some of the frequency to apply in the plus version
                    anyway, it is a good chipset. The battery and heat results should also be seen

                      Waiting to see if dragon can eat apple or not. Hope it can so fanboys won't show off their joke phones.

                            How can there be an "upgrade" to something which is not even out yet. Ridiculous planned obsolescence.

                                "The iQOO 11 comes with a 1,440 x 3,200px display with up to 120Hz refresh rate (it's an LTPO4 panel)."

                                Its 144Hz, not 120Hz.
