t612 have better gpu than g85.higher shading unit deliver better performance depends on the clock speed too.the difference between the cpu clock speed isn't to significant.the memory frequency for t612 is a bit higher than g85. g85>t612(emmc version) ,g85

idk, "T612 has a better GPU," LMFAO! Shading isn't everything. The chip has a weak GPU for 2022, only 600 compared to 950 on G85. If we are going to compare this chip based on CPU, let's compare it with G99 if we go for shading units. Based on performance updates and RAM, even my chip could do better, and it is a G88. This phone never kicked me out of a game with 8/256, not a single time. Let's see how good 612 620 will do. If 606 with 4/64 is bad with heating on some phones like Motorola, I don't think it could do any better on other devices. Performance-wise, T612 should be better with 6 8 RAM, but it could do poorly in some games requiring GPU over CPU to run, even on low, and could crash. In the end, it's up to the phone model and optimization, not just shading units.

V is Cool, Both GPUs aka G57-MP1 and G52-MP2 offer similar performance, but G57 is built on newer architecture and is more efficient.

Bababoi, I own both. on paper, there is a difference, but in daily use, there is no distinction. In fact, the T612 runs cooler than the G85. The T612 is also more battery-efficient.
