BGMI Runs at smooth + 120fps without any frame drops for a really long time and HDR + 60fps with a little bit of heating . I didn't test any other games.

These are some really heavy mobile games : , I have tried Solo levelling. It runs at maximum graphics (all settings are set to highest) at 60fps . I haven't experienced any frame drops. Temperature goes to a maximum of 41 degrees . I am a student so I don't have much time to test games . I will try to test wuthering waves

These are some really heavy mobile games : , I have tested Genshin impact. It runs at smooth 60fps at highest settings. Frame rate started to drop after around 45 mins and it was capped at 50fps. After two hours, the temperature was 44 - 45 degrees and the frame rate even dropped to 36fps.

Are you sure about the number of shading units?
I didn't find any sources pointing that this is correct...
We will check the information and make sure to change the processor specifications if necessary. Thank you for the information.

Serhii, why you choose score of FP16 to show on 8sgen3 information FLOPS? it is easy to misunderstand that 8sgen3 performance is worse than many other chipsets. Moreover, 8sgen3 Antutu score seems to be wrong and the source is not reliable.

If you compare this GPU with the one on the 8 plus gen 1, you'll see alot of similarities and only one difference - THE GPU CLOCK SPEED.
Qualcomm simply reused the GPU architecture of the 8 Plus Gen 1 and overclocked it- so, what you are getting is simply going to be similar to that of an overclocked, 8 Gen 1 (Or the Plus).
This is highly unacceptable, considering the fact that the 8 Gen 1 supported 8K!

I think it's acceptable, you get 15% improvement in 3dmark and whopping 30% in Geekbench benchmarks, and you'll also get ray tracing support. And 8k video support, I think is more on the isp. I dunno man, you seem to keep getting crazier.

The 8S Gen 3's GPU is an overclock of the GPU from the 8 Gen 1, hence the 735 (Overclock).

How does this chipset get 100 in gaming while every phone with this chips has less than 80 points?
The software also plays a huge part in different phones. Potent chips are limited by software and also other hardware.

8s gen 3's Ray tracing performance is inferior to 8 gen 2. Nanoreview where did you get this information from? The ray tracing mpixel/ps is not 5.98 if it is that would make it superior to 8 gen 2. It's ray tracing is actually lower mostly 5.45

The modem is allegedly the same as the 8 gen 2 (snapdragon x70) and yet the peak downlink speed between the two is different. If these modems have different capabilities then they should have different names. The snapdragon x70 modem integrated in 8s gen 3 is not the same as the one integrated in 8 gen 2.

The 8s Gen 3 has superior CPU performance compared to the Dim 8300. Although their GPU performances are on par, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 outshines the 8300 in terms of processor longevity.

This performance is a bit disappointing. I was hoping it would score at least 6000 points in multicore. I'm not quite sure why its score is identical to that of the 8th Generation 2.

I don't understand. A score of 1700 in single core and 4700 in multicore? In every aspect, this is a superior version of the 7 + gen 3. It even has a higher clock speed. I was hoping it would at least achieve a score of 1900 in single core, and possibly 5500 in multicore. This is disappointing.
