But in real testing, Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 delivers higher FPS than D7050; it was also seen in 3DMark Wild Life Performance testing with 14 FPS while D7050 had 13 FPS.

Snapdragon processors are well-optimized for almost any phone. Whereas, MediaTek focuses mostly on performance/graphics and forgets to balance other things.

Nope, Mediatek excels in memory management and bandwidth, which translates in smooth multitasking and fast camera performance. SD is not match there in budget segment, so investigate before commenting such nonsense.

Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 heats more than D 7050 because of Samsung's 4nm process node. However, D7050 doesn't perform well in battle royale games like PUBG/BGMI. Frequent frame drops occur when many players are around on the map.

Snapdragon 6 Gen 1's memory max size is 12 GB not 8 GB. Because Realme 12 Pro is equipped with Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 and available for 12/256 GB variant.

The Gen 1 of the 6 Series is similar to the Gen 2 of the 7s Series, but the 7s Gen 2 appears to be an overclocked version.

Gen 1 also supports 60 FPS in BGMI and it supports up to ultra HDR/ ultra graphics. Gen 1 is equipped with Adreno 710, which is 30% more powerful GPU than 7050.
