More like a rework of Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, since both shares the same lithography (4nm Samsung) and mostly the same components, the only real difference is the clock speeds of CPU and GPU, and perhaps slightly higher memory bandwidth.

I tried HyperOS 2.0.6 the other day and it wasn't even that bad. After disabling all animations in developer options, the phone now runs very fast and smooth. I actually prefer HyperOS over MIUI now.
