Why the reviewers always stay on sd's side? When sd's chip show nothing better than mediatek's one still they says "Developers optimize games for Snapdragon processors more often than for Dimensity, Better instruction set architecture" bla bla. This is nonsense. SD fanboys keep sd660 ahead of even dimensity 1200 (!) this is ridiculous.

Bruh no, I don't see anyone say 660 better the 1200, but anyway they both has pro and cons 700 has better cpu 480 has better gpu 700 has better camera 480 is efficient 700 has better internet connectivity 480 has wifi 6 But there is something that make 480 is better the efficiency,it 3 times more efficient then 700 Sure 700 is more cheaper but it only little bit cheaper

it's a fact games are optimized for adreno gpu, Qualcomm provide better drivers and give necessary api and files to developer so they can do their things. mali Gpu (mediatek/exynos/kirin) don't have good drivers and always use more power to use same task compare to adreno. while sd 660/665/662 won't be able to beat sd1200 but definitely its better than helio G80 its close competitor. same to sd 480 it perform better than dimensity 700 in games even though dimensity is slightly more powerful.

hemedans, Yoo, gaming experience is way better with Helio G80 series (cortex A75 & mali G52) compared to snap 660, 665, 662 (custom A73 and Adreno 610), sure some games are more optimized in Adreno but raw performance is noticeably better with helio G80 series.

They did the same to sd480+, which is also below mtk 700 in every aspect. Geeks sure can be unobjective🀣. No reason to even scroll past the actual specs. Nothing but lonely fanboys acting as they'd rather be on 3g SD device than a superior one from another company... pathetic. No fangirls I guess.
