2. Adreno 830 is huge upgrade on any gpu not just raw benchmarks, it add lot of Desktop class features hence it will be better for gaming and productivity than any current gpu.

    I wish Rog could use the D9400... Why? That GPU is actually the most powerful GPU in a smartphone right now... And blows apple away in the dust. Gaming will be smoother than hydraulic oil...

      Wow so snapdragon "elite" beaten by dimensity 9400, nice!!. Now the question is about power consumption

              As expected, the Snapdragon 8 Elite shows greater CPU performance (...), the SD8 Elite outperforms the Dimensity 9400 by 10%
              "GREATER!" OUTPERFORMS!"
              But then
              In the GPU-heavy 3DMark benchmarks, the Dimensity 9400 edges out the SD8 Elite by 7-8%
              It's quite a surprise to see the Immortalis GPU beating the Adreno, even by a small margin.
              "EDGES OUT" "SMALL MARGINE"

              Funny huh? 10% in favor of snapdragon is great and super huge! But when mediatek is faster by 8% its just "barely edge", by "small margin"

                -PhoenixM - 9.98 - 4.54W
                -A925 - 15.43 - 8.14W

                -A720 - 7.35 - 2.42W

                All cores were manufactured by 3nm

                In D9300 (4nm)
                X4 big - 12.19 - 6.91W
                X4 small - 9.86 - 4.67W
                A720 - 6.17 - 2.07W

                Phoenix M is barely passable in 3nm I can't see it back ported to 4nm as small core, Qualcomm need phoenix-S to compete.

                          It's a shame Mediatek don't open their drivers for developers. If I could play GTA 5 emulated on a x200 pro I would buy it. The game runs very well on the latest snapdragons and doesn't run at all on a 9300.

                            I want to see X925 FP performance over SIMD and its relative efficiency in doing so. Comparation to regular X4 and A7xx family would be appreciated as in the future we might get it more scalable and included in more general purpose core's. General idea whose to close the gap regarding SIMD to X64 and continue advantage of direct low latency link to accelerators. QC is far behind regarding ISA (V8) and MTK is neither really following it straight or to recommendation (V9 but not V9.2 or 9.3). Future more some things that are configurable for given core or CCX won't be at full limit with those.
                            For example in so far practices QC cut's on L2 (CPU lv) and L3 (SoC lv) and MTK even (twice) more to ARM IP blueprint maximum.
                            Samsung ain't cooking much at least not for them self in this arena which is shame. They have integration ecosystem, packaging, GaA for the mixed and analog, and other possible advantges which seems ironically only Intel is aware of and any pact with them is high stake gambling.

                              What about power consumption

                                Mediatek did amazing job. Who could have thought the king of Android GPU's Snapdragon will be beaten by Mediatek, and now Mediatek is the king of all mobile GPU's has the fastest GPU on mobile devices.

                                  Lets Hope the Price of MediaTek remain Cheaper than Snapdragon. it will make phone cheaper in the future cause more Company will use Cheaper SOC yet much powerful than expensive SOC.

                                  And probably if that happen. Snapdragon Price will also Drop.
