Mate the snapdragon 7s gen 2 stats are literally better than everything snapdragon 7 gen 1 . Snapdragon 7 gen 1 might have 46% floating computing and 11% but snapdragon 7s gen 2 has way more here lemme show you all of the pros of these to . Why is Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 better than Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1? 5.27x faster downloads 2900 MBits/svs550 MBits/ 340 MHz faster GPU clock speed 940 MHzvs600 MHz Uses HMP: now why is snapdragon 7 gen 1 better than snapdragon 7s gen 2. 46% better in floating computing and 11% better in AnTuTu score: plus the snapdragon 7s gen 2 has a advantage in tech like being 5+

Just remember the S stands for slow and the + stands for fast with the Snapdragon gen X chips.

The SD 7S is simply another version of the 600 series, but it has been renamed for marketing purposes, which may confuse buyers.

It doesn't make sense that Gen 1 is better than Gen 2. LOL. Qualcomm's naming scheme is so funny. 🀣

Both Qualcomm and MediaTek have unusual naming schemes. Qualcomm: The 7s Gen 2 is slower than the Gen 1 of the same series, and similarly, the 8s Gen 3 is slower than the Gen 2 of the same series. MediaTek: The D8020 and D8050 are slower than the D8000. The D1080 and D1050 do not perform as fast as the D1000+. The D6100+ is slower than the D6080. In the case of the D810, it trails behind the D800u. Lastly, the G96 & G99 are notably slower than the G95.

King Miracle., That depends the g96 g99 are more efficient and less likely to overheat, but if a phone is able to manage to keep the overheating of the g95 in check it is capable of out performing the g96 but not the g99 die it's higher frequencies in gpu and cpu

Boy, Yes you are correct but the dimensity 8100 was released alongside the dimensity 8000 which was essentially the same but with sligtly lower clock speed

King Miracle., No, g95 is all over better in the g series It is the one of chipset that still gives a better results than d6100+ d6300 g99 g96 d810 d800u And it supports 4k 30 fps video recording
