With sane chip you either get more performance or more battery life but not both. Some OEMs used that trick to showcase battery life. With TSMC you get 100hr+ battery life without much throttling.

      don't tell anyone but it's incredibly much faster

        Anonymous, 10 Mar 2023$299? You mean Pixel 6a? Well Tensor may be faster than 778... moreStandby yes but Browsing and video watching Pixel 6A has better score in Gsmarena test. Am not Camera guy cant judge much there. Also Tensor in 6A can somehow sustain perfomance 80% is okaish not midrange level but can be good in day to day task.

            You have video showing OP 10 pro vs 10T, red magic 7 vs 7s, Xiaomi 12 vs 12s so we can compare with Gsmarena Test?

                      2022 there were 6 phones if am not mistaken with sd 888 and majority of them have excellent battery life, better than majority of sd 8+ gen 1 device and can rival sd 8 gen 2 devices.

                      This is Realme GT 2 sd 888 device

                      https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/reviews/22/realme-gt2/battery/-1200/gsmarena_300.jpg

                      115H endurance, 18H browsing and 22H of video playback.

                      That score is really good like any midrange and beat many flagship, how realme manage to get it? Answer is page 4 of review in 3dmark stress test it sustain only 68% perfomance.

                      Battery life of flagship goes parallel with throttling, these new cpu use as much as 12W you can never ever get good battery life without throttling.

                      Check page 4 of every sd 8 gen 2 and sd 8+ gen 1 devices most of them have been throttled around 60 to 70% thats the secret of good bAttery life.

                      For more technical information check Geekrwan video, He measured Cortex A510 cores were using 2W, for comparison A55 use 0.5 to 0.7W, is there any Node out there which can reduce power by 300% answer is No, if you are lucky its just 20 to 30%, so to make A510 give same battery life as A55 you need to throttle it.

                          I think OEMs realize 7 gen 1 and 780 are Samsung made hence poor that's why they tend not to use it. They learned it the hard way in past 2 years with 888 and 8 gen 1.
                          Unsurprisingly, Apple made most of it's gains in past 2 years when Android phones had poor performance and efficiency due to Samsung chips. Only 870 was good. Before that, things were quite close during the 855 and 865 era.
                          2021 and 2022 were the worst years to buy a flagship phone. Finally things are changing with TSMC.

                            Another website claimed that this 7bseries chip was just an underclocked version of SD8+Gen1. If true, I expect this chip to be stable af❤️‍🔥

Just compare the battery life of flagships before and after TSMC switch. I think almost all the flagships containing 8 gen 2 and even 8+ gen 1 has battery life easily exceeding 100hrs mark in gsmarena test. Compare that with 8 gen 1, 888 and Exynos phones, some struggled to even get to 85hrs. S23 with only 200mAh more scores 16hrs more than s22 in endurance test. This clearly shows TSMC chips use much less power for given performance and much more efficient. Efficiency positively correlates with sustained performance if we keep cooling mechanism the same.

                                  If its truly TSMC then finally a successor of 778g

                                    A710 is bad core it doesnt matter who make it, it has been Tested in Both Samsung and Tsmc node and both of them it perform bad.

                                    Also both sd 8+ gen 1 and sd 8 gen 2 doest have better sustained perfomance than 8 gen 1, this is a myth people keep repeating here time to time without proof.

                                    I dont have time later i may provide links but check device from same oem in Gsmarena review with these soc.

                                    1. Oneplus 10 pro vs 10T
                                    2. Red Magic 7 vs 7s
                                    3. Xiaomi 12 vs 12s etc

                                    You can see 8 gen 1 is slightly better than 8+ in sustained task.

                                    You have Thinkpad phone now at Homepage review with below average sustained perfomance, remember these are flagship with better cooling and premium materials what happen when you use same core X2 and A710 in midrange? Its going to be disaster.

                                      What phones used the sd7 gen 1? I feel like if manufacturers want a midrange chip they go for the 778
