I wish that benchmarks would include device temperature over the course of, say, 30 minutes or an hour of running games to see how well the chips handle heat.

I use both chipsets and tested both chipsets very heavily like gaming and benchmark I would say that the Snapdragon 720g it's a very cool chipset and did not throttle but g95 gets very hot even in simple tests like YouTube and web browsing and cpu is worse on g95 it's utilised 100% in heavy games but 720 g cpu only utilised like 70% but the GPU of g95 is great did not have competition to 720g gpu it's only utilised like 70-80% but 720g gpu always runs 100% in heavy games
