All operating the soc in such a state will do is put a load of unnecessary strain on the internals, and it's hardly like the performance on the S23 Ultra's already boosted 8 Gen 2 was lacking, was it 🤷‍♂️

    Well its just some numbers on paper nothing else right???

      "While the SD 8 Gen 1 model had unimpressive sustained performance and stability, the SD 8 Gen 2 improved this aspect, and it seems the SD 8 Gen 3 could be doing even better.

      We will have even more information for you next week after our stress tests are over and we are finally allowed to reveal the identity of this test device with a full review."

      How long did the phone run during the testing. And why was the maximum performance test not conducted on the phone too?

      Improvement and efficiency seem well improved, if not absolutely path breaking.

Sd8g4 will be a revolution with desktop class cores and a breakthrough to 3nm node. The gen5 will just be optimized version. Yeah it will be better than 4 if you can wait.

          KondriX, 03 Dec 2023While I agree that the technology should progress and (almo... moreThe most notable difference can be seen with the GPU. But you have a point about the Snapdragon 865/865+/870, as it's still a capable powerhouse in 2023. It's a shame that most brands don't utilize that power by giving USB3 with wired video output and Desktop Mode.

            I don't think we'll see Xiaomi 14/14 Pro going Global for a considerable time. However, Vivo's iQOO 12/12 Pro will be launched for the Indian market soon, so I'd like to think that those scores come from either Vivo phone.

              Still doesn't come close to anything from Apple in terms of efficiency...

                While I agree that the technology should progress and (almost) every new generation is better than the previous one, as a normal user I still see no difference between Gen 2/3 and Snapdragon 870, so what's the use of all these power?

                  ChristianNerd, 03 Dec 20238 gen 4 is gonna be massively better so yeah wait for next year8 Gen 5 is going to be even better, so let's wait for that one. But 8 Gen 6 will be even better than Gen 5, maybe wait for that one? Oh no, but a year later Gen 7 will be out and I guess it will be better than the current one? Although better at what exactly?

                    JimmyTheGreatest, 02 Dec 2023"wait for real upgrade"?? There's a "... more8 gen 4 is gonna be massively better so yeah wait for next year

                      All that power but less of reasons to get other than extra life and .01 second more of responsiveness. Shame really considering how A17 Pro being slightly less powerful than the Snapdragon counterpart can do more. Sometimes we overestimate the things we need a little bit too much.
