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.

and they says the game poor at optimization when even sd 680 can run it🤣

      To create a brand new person

      Where am I getting here?

      Ideas need to be taken and combined to make fresh and important Innovations

      People like you that are stuck in your thinking in limiting to only gaming are the problem

      Take the benchmarks from different areas and use it to get a better picture

        Update your benchmark
        In Geekbench
        Single core= 1450~1506
        Multi core= 4800~ 5300
        Also Gpu benchmark aren't latest. These are pre alpha results.

        But good work from Qualcomm they managed to give us superior GPU than a16 bionic 5 core GPU. And very close multi threaded performance to a16 bionic. And everything will depend on crappy android system

              Thank you MEDIATEK for forcing Qualcomm to not hold back on their flagship SOC

              Qualcomm was enjoying sweet complacency

              Qualcomm still rules the flagship space but the context now is if they mess up they can lose sales

              there is no more 100% Qualcomm only flagship smartphones some of it even this it's small is now shared with Dimensity and Qualcomm knows it

                Samath N8 808 owner, 09 Dec 2022I suppose they can't be blamed completely. 90Hz and 1... moreI agree

                Btw Sony phones runs at QHD most of the time, 4K is only being triggered when 4K video is being showed or when using the Pro mode in the camera.

                Sony does that since their very first 4K phone, henche why I consider it useless because it is not used 99% of the time for obvious reasons.

                  Would appreciate if Apple's A15 and A16 were included in the charts as well.

                        90Hz and 120Hz displays became the norm a bit too quickly, forcing almost double the performance required, not to mention that we're already running resolutions that some PC's run.
                        FullHD, a demanding standard is now a joke that midrangers don't even flaunt anymore.
                        The next standard 2K is already pushing about double the pixels of fullHD. The recent 4K's by Sony goes even double (almost).

                        And to top it all, everything would've been great if we just did hardcore gaming on PC's, and played Subway Surfers in 120Hz high resolution on mobile, but no, we want Call of Duty, Fortnite and PUBG...
                        Overall, we're looking at huge graphic needs anyhow.

                        I think we should've waited with 90Hz and maximum 2K, for few years.
                        These are mobile devices. Even my gaming laptop feels the performance pressure when its not connected to its 180W charger.

                              You can find on weibo 5343 for xiaomi 13/13 pro.

                              Looks like 8g3 has 2x the cache of 8+g1.

                                I'm much more interested by the battery life and possible overheating. Much more important than a few more fps in games I'll never play
