The Exynos 1680 is literally proven to run cool under heavy loads, like seriously I saw a Galaxy A57 stress test and the phone only got to 38Β°, compared to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 which usually gets around 39-41Β°, but still both are nearly identical in efficiency, but also the Exynos 1680 leads in raw power so you get more benefits from the Exynos 1680 I voted Exynos

They are Soo close but because the Snapdragon is made by TSMC not Scamsung it wins Note: Samsung foundries are not bad for midrange chips for some reason πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Possibly midrange chips are more effectively cooled. Also, I believe Adreno 722 is better suited for gaming than Xclipse 550 (just a guess).

Little K, Because mid-range chips only use RAM with 32bit bandwidth, so soc and ram will be next to each other, instead of ram on soc like flaship socs because the RAM bandwidth is 64bit

Little K, Depends on the game, they are both almost identical in raw graphic power
