There is one thing that the benchmarks didn't show: under sustained load, the Dimensity 7300 drops its frequencies to 2.3 GHz within a minute and stays there. I don't know how the Snapdragon behaves because I don't have a chance to test it.

Ngl they’re both equals in a sense, get whatever’s cheaper! But if you plan on emulation I’d choose the 7s Gen 2, I have the 7s Gen 2 on my Poco Pad rn

7300 of MTK has a slight edge in terms of overall performance. Higher CPU and GPU clock speed and Bluetooth 5.4. and made by TSMC, while QSD 7s Gen 2 is made by Samsung.

Same CPU config but different manufacturer, that's wild how TSMC manage to make this A78 & A55 run at higher clock with less power.

Mrsch, You're right. 7300 beats 7s Gen 2 efficiency wise though.
