SD 8 Gen 2 vs Dimensity 8400: The Flagship Legend vs The "Flagship Killer" ​Honestly, this is the most interesting comparison right now. We are pitting the "True Former Flagship" (8 Gen 2) against the "New Mid-Range Beast" (D8400). After looking at the AnTuTu scores and the architecture, here is my objective breakdown: ​1. CPU War: Architecture vs. Raw Power The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 still holds the crown in Single-Core performance thanks to that prime Cortex-X3 core and high clock speeds. For heavy apps or emulation, SD is still the king. HOWEVER, the Dimensity 8400 architecture is actually "cheating" (in a good way). With its newer core design (potentially using the all-big-core approach), its Multi-Core scores can actually surpass the 8 Gen 2 in Geekbench. For multitasking or video rendering, the D8400 is a monster disguised as a mid-range chip. ​2. GPU: Adreno vs. Mali This is Qualcomm's holy ground. The Adreno 740 in the 8 Gen 2 is legendary. The stability, driver support, and compatibility for emulators (Yuzu/Winlator) are still far more mature than the Mali GPU found in the D8400. If you are a hardcore gamer who cares about custom shaders and ray tracing, stick with the SD 8 Gen 2. But if you just want to run Genshin or PUBG at max settings, the D8400 is more than capable and likely runs cooler. ​3. Efficiency & ISP Both are on excellent TSMC nodes. However, keep in mind that the ISP (Image Signal Processor) on Snapdragon is usually favored by developers for GCam ports and OEM optimization. The D8400 is great, but sometimes the image processing still feels a bit "MediaTek-ish" in low light if the phone vendor is lazy with the software. ​The Verdict: ​Pick the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 if you want a true all-rounder, love tinkering with emulators, and need consistent camera performance. ​Pick the Dimensity 8400 if you want raw performance rivaling current flagships for half the price and don't care about brand prestige.

if someone suggest me that i can get 1 phone for free between two, then I will choose sd gen 2. but in real life what matters most after all is price to performance ratio, an in that respect, d8400 is way to go no doubt. get sd 8 gen 5 if you have infinite budget.

Few months ago I was arguing online about how much more performance you could get with the Dimensity at a lower price until I realized something, The snapdragon 865 that came out in 2019 is still being supported by so many app developers hence it will help the chipset in the long run whereas the Dimensity that came out on that same year is no longer being remembered anywhere. Lol the thing I've understood about Qualcomm is that their chipsets are expensive for a reason.

I get that some people try so hard to defend the near 3 years old 8 Gen 2, and personally I do agree with some of their pointers but now it's just a battle of egos this far down the line. I just want to point out a few things: 1. What MediaTek did with their new 8000 series SoC on CPU deserves some applause. Sure they may still be a bit underpowered compared to the setup of the 8 Gen 2, but still quite impressive as this situation is quite similar to what we saw more or less than 3 years ago (tip: rewind your memory to the chaos that was the battle of the 8 Gen 1 vs the Dimensity 9000) 2. Some customers have different expectations out of their phone. If they buy a Snapdragon phone, try to respect their decision even if it does sting for you. Same applies if they decide to buy a Dimensity powered phone. I do Tunderstand part of the hate MTK goes through, however 3. Give the D8400 some time. Unlike the 8 Gen 2 which is a battle tested veteran, it still needs time for optimization / further tweaks from phone manufacturers as well as software developers and game devs for it to fully utilize it's true potential (something we've seen in many phones in the market, regardless of their SoC choice) That's all I have to say. If you have any concerns / clarifications, feel free to drop a comment or two. I may not know much about Android SoCs, software, app compatibility and whatnot, but they seem interesting to look at as they work quite identical but not identical to computers (something I've worked with before and have some basic knowledge about)

Regarding your 3rd point, imo even if the D8400 gets time for software/game optimizations, I don’t think it’s gonna change that much. Just look at the D8300 - it was hyped to be a rival for the 8s Gen 3 (or 7+ Gen 3 maybe), but now its real-world performance is clearly behind, even though it scores the same or higher than 8s Gen 3 in Antutu. Of course, the 8000 series isn’t meant to be flagship chip and probably won’t get the same level of optimization - it's a mid-range chip after all. Still, I do hope the D8400 turns out better than how the D8300 did before

666, Bro the new Poco X7 pro retails for about $300-350 dollars brand new.. with a performance that clearly punches above its price bracket. Meanwhile to get the performance of the Poco X7 pro in brands like Samsung, you would have to spend $1,200 dollars.. which to me is completely unnecessary.

Mediatek gladiator , Let me clear one thing, Do you want to buy a phone or a chipset??🤔 How can you compare poco x7 pro with a Samsung's 1200 dollars phone.Are you insane or nonsense?? If you want to buy a chipset then contact the manufacturers of mediatek or qualcomm. Compare X7 pro with Iqoo neo 9. In my region both have same price.

MTK is very good recently reaching SD's old flagships on paper. But I still find them to be something that is not perfect, I mean optimization and stability when handling heavy tasks. Previously, i seeing 8300 was reported by some users to have poor performance compared to 8s gen 3 which is its direct competitor. I hope 8400 is not like that.

And yet people here are so defensive with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.. Like bruhh the Dimensity 8400 is a mid-range chipset from Mediatek, calm down!.

After using some products with these 2 types of SoC, I have the following feelings: 8 ​​Gen 2 is a little better than 8400 in terms of basic tasks to heavy tasks. 8 Gen 2 is more suitable for different usage needs than 8400. In game testing, 8 Gen 2 is still a little better than 8400. Partly because 8 Gen 2 has better software support than 8400, importantly, the processing efficiency of 8 Gen 2 is better than 8400. (Also, how many people buy a phone just to play games and not for other purposes) When both battery saving modes are turned on, 8 Gen 2 lasts a little longer than 8400. (12~15 minutes longer) 8 Gen 2 in some cases lags less than 8400 and vice versa. If you use it normally like calling, texting, watching YouTube, surfing the web, the 8400 has a slightly longer usage time. If you play games or use heavy tasks, the 8 Gen 2 is slightly superior in many aspects but consumes more battery than the 8400.

There’s too little difference here. Dimensity has made significant efforts to improve their chipset, what a valiant effort but in this case, I would choose the 8 Gen 2.But let’s not delude ourselves here - when faced with the choice, the 8 Gen 2 is the obvious pick. Why? Because even if Antutu benchmarks pretend they’re equals, anyone with more than two brain cells knows Snapdragon still stomps Dimensity in real-world performance. And let’s not ignore the hilarious irony of the Dimensity D8400 is a mid-range chip masquerading as a flagship contender. Stability? FPS consistency? Game optimization? Please. The 8 Gen 2 doesn’t just outperform, it embarrasses Dimensity in every metric that actually matters (though I’m sure Dimensity fans will still find a way to cope). So it’s no surprise that the 8 Gen 2 won this comparison.

The most shocking part was that I run geekbench 6 more than 20 times at both normal and high performance mode.But the Dimensity 8400 couldn’t even touch 6000 in multicore score at a single time. After analysing dimensity 8400- Scores are---- Antutu---- Cpu---337---355k Gpu---550k----565k Total score~1.49m to 1.55m Snapdragon 8 gen 2 Cpu---380k to 402k Gpu---590k to 615k Total score~1.59 to 1.66m Dimensity is 8400 ultra is nothing but the 5%~7% improved Dimensity 8300 ultra.

Chill bro 8400 is better choice. It is efficient than 8 gen 3 CPU wise but GPU wise it is less but still 8400 consume same watt energy as 8s gen 3 in genshin impact and also other games like zenless zone. Wuthering waves

NAH1, Now I see why many OEMs choose to prioritize SD over MTK: because there are people who haven't even used a single Dimensity powered phone that will find ways to disparage their works. That doesn't mean the MTK fanbase is any better either, in fact they can be just as sick as you. Emulators? Better contact ARM for the proper drivers to the Mali / Immortalis GPUs. Poor game optimization? That's in part thanks to the game devs. Low graphics? Perhaps you're using a low level Dimensity chipset which you're comparing to a flagship SD chip or vice versa, which would already make the discussion a bit one-sided. Overheating? Every SoC overheats when pushed to the limit, should that be reminded every single time?

NAH1 , I have a genuine question though, When I open Call of Duty Mobile with a phone equipped with Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, The 'Max Graphics' Setting is literally is not there (no option), I thought this chip might not be enough powerful, So when I did with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, Still the settings was locked/not there. I thought how could this be possible, So when I did a last attempt with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, To my suprise, The 'Max Graphics' Setting was there, This means Call of Duty Mobile starts giving you the 'Max Graphics' option if you have atleast Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Now in case of Dimensity, When I did with Dimensity 8300 Ultra, The Setting was locked but when I did with Dimensity 8400 Ultra, The setting was unlocked like how it was with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. In a nutshell, - Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 = Not unlocked - Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 = Not unlocked - Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 = Unlocked - MediaTek Dimensity 8300 Ultra = Not unlocked - MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultra = Unlocked So I think people saying "Snapdragon has better optimizations for games" or "Games developers optimise their games for Snapdragon more" is outdated, It was sure like that but many years before. Nowadays games just see if the Chip is capable or not, Because MediaTek has been improving their chips a lot. So I wanna say is that MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultra is better than Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in paper BUT in Real Life too, It just outperforms them. And before someone says something like "MediaTek might have a partnership with Call of Duty" or something like that. I checked it's nothing like that. Someone please answer me finally what is better now, I know Snapdragon is better for emulators but why will I play PC Games in Mobile? I have a PC so no problem there.

Someone out there, Obviously, you kinda missed their point. It ain't a comparison between the D8400 and the 8 Gen 3 they were looking for, what they may have been trying to challenge is the common "idea" of how MediaTek chips don't receive as much developer support as their Snapdragon counterparts.

MASTER12345, Nah, all you said is that D8400 can turn on high graphics settings like 8 gen 3 and based on that you said D8400 can beat 8 gen 2 cuz 8gen2 didn't do that ? You didn't even consider the performance stability when playing COD or many other games ? You mean D8400's optimization can enable high graphics settings just in ONLY ONE game (COD) that means it is on same par with 8 gen 3's optimization ??? LMFAO that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. There are many examples of Dimensity's rapid chip degradation that I bet you haven't heard of, one of them is D1200 vs SD 865, who still remembers D1200 now? while SD 865 can still be used daily and gaming well without overheating like D1200 - which was considered the best chipset a few years ago... You said D8400 can enable "Max Graphics" setting which 8 gen 2 can't do, have you ever think D8400 can play stable FPS without overheating or render graphics poorly? All your comparing are just shortsighted, dude. => So, all you're presenting is nothing more than the D8400 being able to run "Max Graphics" COD settings which means it will outperform the 8 gen 2... i cant stop laughing HAHAHHA. There's no discussion value and nonsense, you better shut up and look at the vote par to see what chipset people will choose 8 gen 2 or D8400.

MASTER, Nah my comment was rejected OH meat-riding Snapdragon?? HAHA Snapdragon didn't even pay or hire me to do it. All I see and do is the experience of the chips - if it's Dimensity then I only trust the 9000 series but for the 8000 series it's just a trick by faking the scores to fool everyone (including no brain people like you). I genuinely pity your mo.ther for raising someone as intellectually stunted as you. If you still don't understand look at the voting board dude.

NAH1, Sorry if this comes off as offensive, but you may be the one who's short-sighted. The D8400 was never meant to do battle with the 8 gen 2 in the first place given its position as a mid-range. You're better off comparing it with the 7+ gen 3 which is also in the mid-range category, while comparing the D8400 and the 8s Gen 3 yields results that are a bit neck and neck imho. In case anyone's asking, here's a source to read https://m.gsmarena.com/mediatek_dimensity_8400_now_official_with_all_big_core_cpu_a_first_for_its_segment-news-65843.php

Khaos, So who’s really the shortsighted one here? From the very beginning, you were the one comparing the 8400 to the 8 Gen 2, even had the audacity to claim that the 8400 outperforms both the 8 Gen 2 and the 8s Gen 3. And now, suddenly, you’re backtracking, saying the 8400 is only on par with the 8s Gen 3? Do u have a memory disorder, or are u just clinically delusional? I know comparing a flagship chip to a mid-range chip isn’t fair, but in this context, 8 Gen 2 absolutely wipes the floor with 8400. You call me short-sighted? Oh, Funny. I think everyone here can see the real flip-flopping hypocrite… and it’s not me.

MASTER12345, Sorry if you had to see such a situation unfold, but I'll try my best to hopefully answer your question. Outside of gaming, both SoCs should be able to power your day-to-day activities with ease, though the final verdict is ultimately left up to you. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is better in GPU and optimization while the D8400 has a leg up in CPU. It's a close call.

NAH1, All I'm saying is that, yes, I agree that the D8400 is heavily behind the 8 Gen 2 in various aspects. What I've stated in the link above is just my interpretation of what could happen if MediaTek tried so hard to make the 8400 catch up to 8 Gen 2, a move that could cost them big in the long run. I also perfectly understand what you're trying to tell me and MASTER, though with the way your statements are worded, they can come off as quite offensive. MASTER was expecting a neutral answer to their question from you; what they received in return was a few far-fetched explanations with a bit of ego and some insults on the side. Here's the thing, even if the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is truly above the D8400, with games becoming more and more performance heavy, it's only a matter of time before even its high-tier optimization for apps could no longer catch up. If that satisfies our tastes, then I can suggest we drop this topic. I have somewhere else I need to be, especially with MediaTek and their ongoing Helio/D6xxx saga I find quite baffling in this day and age.

nahhhhhhh, MASTER and you aren’t the same person, are you?? I thought you both were one and the same. I’m sorry for misjudging you or if my words have had any bad impact on you, i mean the points I was arguing were directed at MASTER, not at you - my sincere apologies. I completely understand MASTER's point that in some cases 8400 performs better than 8 gen 2: Yes, I agree, but I strongly disagree with his claim that the 8400 outperforms the 8 gen 2. I think he should do more research before making his statements. Regarding you, the scores have been updated in the past few days, and now both have the same scores: Gaming Performance at 82 and Overall at 80. Therefore, I believe most people will lean towards the 8 gen 2 because of its optimization. In my opinion, for the 8400 to truly beat the 8 gen 2, it MUST have significantly higher scores across the board to outpace it. But no, both are nearly equal in most aspects... so the way for either to win is through optimization. Yes, it’s clear that the 8 gen 2 excels significantly in terms of optimization.

the difference between the Dimensity 8300 and 8400 is the new GPU.. The new Dimensity 8400 now supports Ray tracing and it's all thanks to the new ARM Immortalis GPU.. If you knew anything about tech and chipsets you would know exactly what I'm talking about.

Just use whatever chipset pleases you and leave us "cheap poor kids" to use our Dimensity powered phones since your favorite words are "go back to school kid" how original.. you really cooked with that punchline didn't you?

Mediatek Gladiator, I feel bad for you man, but in this case, Snapdragon is the clear winner. The Dimensity 8000 series is just an exaggerated series of SoC. You can compare the Snapdragon 8 series with the Dimensity 9000 series because they have the same architecture. On the other hand, the Dimensity 8000 series is only made for pulling out benchmark scores. Seriously, have you ever heard of any Dimensity 8000 series phone being popular for gaming? They are always hyped before launching. Even mobile phone companies can't trust them so much. You will find Dimensity 8300 & 8400 in a few models. Notice a few things, and you will understand. Cortex X-3 is way more powerful than the A725 (almost 500~600 difference in single core). Better video capturing quality. Better gaming overall (check videos on YT). Better and sustained GPU. Better architecture (Dimensity 8400 has all big cores, no efficiency cores; small tasks are being run by big cores, that's why battery backup is less in my Poco X7 Pro). Anyway, I am using both, that's why I am sharing from my personal experience. That's why work hard, buy your own phones, test them in your personal way, then you will find the result.

Mediatek Gladiator, Then why you are riding on mediatek dimensity 8400's meat. Here are lot of Soc.Why defending this one shit every time. Does it has any recognition,is it familiar as a gaming device?? No one is using it as a hardcore gaming device. Go and change the industry,not the people in the comment section. Every promising gaming device providing snapdragon chipsets,they are advertised and promoted more and more by companies.Go change them. Tell Samsung or ROG to change provide dimensity chipsets in their prime devices. Don't throw balderdash here.
