It will be a great improvement over its predecessor.

tzmkira002, 08 Apr 2025I'm all for massive improvements, but the Elite 1 alre... moreIt overheats and throttles like anything under sustained load. We need an SoC that actually keeps cool and maintains its performance for extended periods. AFAIK, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is the last SoC that actually was both cool and powerful.

The ones after it have better peak performance, but they quickly throttle and lose sometimes half their performance. It's a shame when you see flagships demonstrate this behaviour and actually have worse performance overall rather than having a lower, but more stable experience.

    I'm all for massive improvements, but the Elite 1 already handles everything flawlessly, literally. Either is needs to focus on better efficiency, or app makers need to start making more complex demanding apps to even utilize this extra power.

        Cah Nglayab, 08 Apr 2025Now we need MediaTek to compete. Monopoly is annoying.They are trying, I believe the dim 9500 will launch earlier by a few weeks to months?

          On the other hand the new tariff policy is destroying my country's economy. And so with the others.

                    With Trump and China fighting
                    I think this 8 Elite 2 might not be produced
                    Because no rare earth for TSMC

                        And it'll immediately start throttling
