I want to make a point about the SD 870 processor. It is evidently more powerful than the 1200,1300,865,865+, and the 7200 Ultra. In fact, its performance is nearly comparable to the Dimensity 8100 Max. This has been proven, not just in benchmark scores, but also in practical usage. Let's discuss some of the processors I've mentioned in detail (Dimensity 1200,1300,865,865+). Most of these processors in phones with 6-8GB RAM do not support the Antutu standard 3D GPU. However, they do support the Antutu 3D Lite. The SOC does score higher in the 3D Lite version given that it's a lighter variant. For instance, my OnePlus 9R (which has the SD 870 processor and 12GB RAM) supports the 3D standard. This device scores between 220k and 230k on Antutu's 3D Standard test. In contrast, my Realme GT Neo 3T (which also has the SD 870 but with 6GB RAM) only supports 3D Lite and scores 270k. Additionally, I bought the Poco X4 GT, an 8GB/256GB variant, which supports Antutu 3D Standard and scores 199k on the GPU test. The 6GB RAM variant of the same phone only supports 3D Lite and scores approximately 240k. That's why it is not valid to compare 3D Lite scores with 3D Standard scores. From wide-ranging testing and personal experience with my devices, I can confidently rank the processors as follows (from most to least powerful): Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1> Snapdragon 8 Gen 1> Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2> Snapdragon 888+> Snapdragon 888> Snapdragon 8200> Dimensity 8100> Dimensity 1200> Snapdragon 865+> Dimensity 1300> Snapdragon 865> Dimensity 7200 Ultra.
