The performance difference is so close that it is negligible. However, the SD 8 Gen 2 is much more efficient in terms of performance per watt. Besides, it's not even the 8+ Gen 2 found on the Red Magic 8S.

I believe those performance differences come from software differences on the two Chipsets. Nevertheless, MediaTek is still a better option.

MediaTek ranks #1 among all chipsets today. Therefore, I've chosen the Xiaomi 13T Pro instead of the flagship 13 Plus.

MediaTek is really catching up with Snapdragon, but it still lags behind in terms of optimization. Snapdragon tends to be superior in the long run because it is open source, giving game developers better access and consequently, more optimization opportunities. In contrast, MediaTek is closed source.

A higher TDP means more heat and increased throttling. This results in reduced stability and compromised battery life due to overheating. Phones with this SoC require a better cooling solution. The SD8 Gen2 performs outstandingly. I have it in my Moto Edge 40 Pro, and the device is a powerhouse. It's an incredibly powerful chip, and the battery life is impressive.

Yeah, that's for sure. But Dimensity 9200+ is not meant to be competitive with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 because, for SD 8 Gen 3, there will be Dimensity 9300.

PeeCee, Thanks, bro. That's what they don't understand. There isn't going to be a 'plus' version for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The 8 Gen 2 for the Galaxy is essentially the 'plus' version. MediaTek's release of the Dimensity 9200+ balances things out and makes it competitive with the 8 Gen 2 for the Galaxy.

PeeCee, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will definitely score 1.3 or 1.5 Million in the Antutu 9 Benchmark, I bet Apple A17 Bionic can't even :( Do you prefer Qualcomm or MediaTek? (I personally prefer Qualcomm, their chipsets are the best for Android in my opinion).

Daine Quitco, you haven't even tried Mediatek Dimensity series and yet you "prefer" Qualcomm.. this is not good for competition at all.. you are so locked in to Qualcomm and that's why they could monopolize the market and stop innovating which is bad for us consumers

I'm going to discuss the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3/7 Plus Gen 3, which, I'm confident, will be released, possibly after the launch of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. I believe that the SD 7/7+ Gen 3 will utilize the Cortex X3 as the Prime Core, accompanied by the Cortex A720 & Cortex A520 as the big core and efficiency core, respectively. I hope the SD 7/7+ Gen 3 configuration is 1 x Cortex X3 @ 3.15 GHz + 4 x Cortex A720 @ 2.95 GHz + 3 x Cortex A520 @ 2.15 GHz, featuring the Adreno 735. This GPU is nearly as powerful as the Adreno 740 GPU found in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.
