earlier Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 announcementsAmong them, Qualcomm said that the power consumption efficiency of Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is 30% higher than that of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, and the speed is also increased by 10%. Many people must be very curious regarding this actual measurement. Is it really that big of a difference? A number of foreign media and YouTubers also released Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 test reports following the meeting. As Qualcomm said, it seems that Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 phones are hard to sell!
Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 has been tested abroad, and it beats Snapdragon 8 Gen 1
The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 offers faster CPU and GPU clock frequencies compared to its predecessor. The ARM Cortex-X2 core clock can reach 3.2 GHz (3 GHz on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1), and the Adreno 730 GPU is also 10% faster. Not only has the clock increased, Qualcomm also claims that the power efficiency of the Kryo CPU is increased by 30%, while the power consumption of the Adreno GPU is reduced by 30%, all thanks to TSMC’s 4nm process.
The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 test machines that foreign media and YouTubers got this time are all ASUS ROGs.
Phonearena Comparing it with the Galaxy S22 Ultra equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, we can see that except for the slight loss of GFXBench Car Chase on-screen, the rest of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 are a lot ahead, and Geekbench 5 single-core and dual-core are both Done, so does the 3DMark stress test. Phonearena also said that following playing games and benchmarking for a long time in this test, although the ROG did get hot, the battery life was quite good:
Notebookcheck Compared with more processors, Geekbench multi-core and single-core running minutes, Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 performance is similar to MediaTek’s Dimensity 9000 flagship processor, but still loses A15:
GFXBench is different. Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 wins at 2560×1440 and 1920×1080, leading all processors. What’s special is that GFXBench Car Chase on-screen is different from Phonearena’s test results. It’s not a small loss. Instead, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is much more efficient:
The well-known YouTube channel Dave2D also released a complete test video, and the video titled he also used the “fastest Android phone”, which shows that the performance of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 must be very bright.
He also used Geekbench 5 to run the software. Not surprisingly, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 outperformed the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. It is worth noting that in terms of power consumption, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is indeed lower, but not much lower. It may be because this ROG is still a test machine:
In the video, he also tested a number of games, all of which were very smooth:
in additionLiao Ahui also got the ROG engineering machine for actual measurement, the conclusion is similar. Looking at it, if the price of mobile phones equipped with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is not much different from that of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, no one should buy Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile phones… Maybe there will be a wave of price cuts recently.
