Notes
    - There's also the "Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy," which only differs by having a 160 MHz higher CPU clock and a 39 MHz higher GPU clock, resulting in 3681 GFLOPS for the GPU. Generally, you won't notice this difference in real-life usage, including games.

If they are not waiting for the S23 Ultra benchmarks to upload the correct numbers, I don't even know what to think about the reason why the numbers they've given are that low in comparison to the raw strength of the chipset.

The only thing I can think of is that Samsung decided to not use the full 100% of 8gen 2 power due to a better battery but other than that I really don't know.

Joshua, It really seems like that's the case. Either way, chippers nowadays have very little difference in terms of raw performance, so sacrificing a bit of that performance for more battery life is the wisest option. However, this ranking should be about the maximum the chips have to offer.

8 Gen 2 is definitely impressive Because its core structure is impressive 1+4+3( 1 Main core, 2+2= 4 performance core, and 3 efficiency core). 1+4+3 that means 🤔 I+ Love+ You 🤭🤫

Can someone give me a comparison between the Apple M2 and the 8 gen 2 I've been thinking about getting an iPad 12.9 6th gen instead of the one plus 11?

alright 28 January 2023 19:10
y r u comparing a phone and an iPad? ofc the m2 is more powerful but then in a real-life experience sd 8 gen 2 won't have much difference, to be honest.

They are made for entirely different functions, if you want to buy a phone, then why consider a tablet? performance is not the only thing that you should consider, it'll be kinda like comparing a laptop with a laptop chip like Ryzen 9 7940HS with an M2 iPad, the laptop absolutely thrashes the M2, but that doesn't mean the iPad is trash now.

Well, Snapdragon may have passed the a14 and a13 in terms of CPU for "3 years," but one thing that Snapdragon is dominating is its GPU, and holy, even the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 beats the A16 in 3D Mark Wild Life at 1440p. Imagine what the 8 Gen 2 and 8+ Gen 2 would do in the GPU department, which is why Snapdragon dominates the GPU section!

Yi Long Ma, where surpassed a16 in 3d mark? a16 can be rock stable at 60 fps in any game, sdg2 struggles.

Yi Long Ma, On which planet? Because their main difference is the power consumption, and the 1-2W less power consumption also gives the opportunity to Apple to run the game on stable performance for longer. A good GPU only counts if your CPU is not weak. Just calculate the percent of the CPU side if you need about 1500 Geekbench score performance. One of them will run on 100% the other is only on 80%, that 300-400Mhz clock speed difference is visible in power consumption/heat generation too and the GPU can also throttle because of the extra heat from the CPU side.

S22ultra user, Because they don't have their own OS for their chipset that's why their performance is not satisfied.
