Qualcomm Snapdragon is taking the competition very seriously with its new mid-range chipset of 2023, the 7+ Gen 2, and it's quite impressive. While it may not be the most power-efficient compared to the undisputed king of power efficiency, MediaTek Dimensity 8100, it's one of the most consistent mid-range chipsets for intense graphical games. The 7+ Gen 2 can run Genshin Impact consistently at 56 FPS for the first 11 minutes, but it slightly drops to 52 FPS. This is better compared to the previous 7 Gen 1, which runs at 54 FPS for the first 12 minutes but drops to 25 FPS. Quite impressive, Snapdragon! In benchmarks, the 7+ Gen 2 may not be as close to the 8+ Gen 1 in CPU and GPU performance, but it is much better and more efficient than the Dimensity 8200.

8+ Gen 1 is just an overclocked version of 7+ Gen 2, so the stability of it is kinda trash compared to 7+ Gen 2, both of their architecture are the same. Therefore, my conclusion is, it's close when you overclocked 7+ Gen 2 which will have the same output as 8+ Gen 1. 🤪
