Basically, both are the same chipsets. There's no performance difference shown on normal or heavy use (from my experience). Most of the time, Dimensity 8100 wins (app opening, long-time gaming, video editing rendering). There are reasons for this. Massive clock speed just gives higher benchmark scores, nothing more than that. Higher clock speed creates instability in long-term usage. Better CPU cores with medium clock speed are future-proof. Dimensity 8100 has 4 A78 at 2.85 GHz, which is simple. However, 3.1 GHz with 3 GHz is somewhat showy. That's why 8200 is not future-proof.

That graphic performance Stability 58% VS 98% gives high concerns. Is it valid?

How on earth d8200 scored lower in multi core score with that ridiculously fast 3 ghz 4 cores a78 than d8100 with 2.85ghz 4 cores a78? I mean how can be a quad core 3 ghz got beaten by 2.85 ghz with same architecture? It is literally the first ever chip with 4 cores running at 3 ghz (even apple only has 2 over 3 ghz.

Ohho πŸ˜” Just 3 months back I bought OnePlus 10R (Dimensity 8100 Max) Is there any major difference compared to Dimensity 8200? Cause looking at specs both look similar πŸ€”

In a nutshell... (I'm relying on the specs mentioned/advertised by companies) Of course it's a bit better, newer products are always better than previous ones Iqoo Neo 7 advertises: D8100 - 800k+ Antutu D8200 - 890k+ Antutu Reason: Clock speed increased, Vulkan updated. It is around an 8% boost I'd say, but always remember is it really needed? Of course you can play high-end games but the same can be played in D8100 So don't worry much, I know you may feel that you could have waited and bought D8200 instead. But it's only a minor difference :)
