Well result are in.
8 Gen 2's GPU is a monster easily beating the A16 in both performance and efficiency. The GPU is only 18% slower than M1's GPU while using less than half as much power.
Actually apart for the CPU the 8 Gen 2 is a better overall SOC than Apple's A16.
So? Contradiction in results? Choose the one that makes you feel better.

As I said, more like 90%.

Not as you said at all. You clearly said: "90% of the revenue in the smartphone sector" . Profit is not the same thing as revenue. And there's still no 90% in that link anyway.
Actually that site says Apple captured 40% of the revenue, a figure even smaller than the 44% I mentioned, so basically you proved by yourself that you are wrong. LoL
 
as more benchmarks come out the better the scores are. nobody should be annoyed by this. This is great to see for tech to see android chips making such a big jump in overall battery life and performance. Makes apple realise to keep working to improve.

Coming from exynos this will be a massive step up

Almost 90% of the profits. Regardless this is still true whether or not you want to debate a typo.

LoL, again revenue is not the same thing as profit. There's no typo, I quoted exactly what you claimed and gave a more accurate number but you still disagreed. And how is 75% "almost" 90%? 😂

There isn't any contradicting results anywhere, this site didn't run any tests at all so there's no results from here to talk about.
While the latest chip won't officially ship in smartphones for a few months, Geekbench scores for the chip have already been spotted in an unreleased Android handset. According to the results (via DealNTech), the latest Snapdragon 8 chip scored 1483 in single-core and 4709 in multi-core. The A16 Bionic scored 1874 in single-core and 5372 in multi-core. For comparison, the A15 Bionic chip, found in the iPhone 13 Pro and the lower-end iPhone 14 models, also scored higher than Qualcomm's latest chip with 1709 in single-core compared to 1483.

Whether or not you view this as valid, it’s not a good look for the snapdragon chip. 😂:apple:

While I agree that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is a very good SoC, I do have one big concern: just how power does the entire SoC use? The first phone, the Vivo X90 Pro Plus, uses a 4,700 mAh battery, and to get decent operating time per charge may require something close to a 5,000 mAh battery pack.
 
The entire SOC should overall be quite decent in efficiency as it's built on TSMC's 4nm node(the modem is also integrated and its the best in a smartphone right now).

"and to get decent operating time per charge may require something close to a 5,000 mAh battery pack."

Based on what? The difference between 4700 and 5000 mah is small.

Yea this is why I wish we could rent high speed for like an hour. Only need for a large app/game download or big updates. I can live with waiting since I was alive for 56K or less, but it's still cool to see gigs go by in a flash
Some companies use bit torrent to share bits and traffic to best utilize bandwidth. Most companies still store files to a primary server with a back-up but that back-up is not used for active file transfer to a client request.
 
And yet here you are, making up all sorts of excuses around them, even suggesting iphones have Dual-SIM capabilities that they don't actually have.


What part of the SD 8 Gen 2 CPU is not "getting the job done"? to make so many users here to be so critical against it? Well most of them talk about the overall SOC without realizing what an SOC is while in practice they think at Geekbench single core scores. The attacks here against the SD 8 Gen 2 don't even have any substance.


LoL, so having Wifi 7 is a bad thing. That was a good one.
There is a thing called point of diminishing return and good enough. Presently anything prior to WiFi 6 is good enough, it’s like purchasing a M1 Max MBP to surf the internet, type email, basic computing tasks that even a budget iPad can accomplish actually man budget computers can accomplish.

For most people on a daily basis they will not notice the difference or adapt between network speed. It’s like having WiFi 7 speed in your home network but your internet connect is the bottleneck or when going out the public WiFi is limited due to internet speed. You either prefer denying reality or you don’t get out much let alone interact with humans physically.

Nope, it's just your opinion because you feel the need to make excuses as you are bothered by the fact that other smarphones support newer and superior Wireless standards than the recently launched iphones. Don't forget that the user you replayed to just said he has to give Qualcomm credit for implementing the latest best Wi-Fi and 5G modem tech which you dissagred with on the base of making excuses.
But anyway this makes me curios of something. Would you say that SD 8 Gen 2's CPU is good enough? I'm asking because it got a lot of hate on this thread. Do you think it's fair to hate on SD 8 Gen 2's CPU? Can it be considered bad having single core performance almost as good as the A14 and multicore performance between the A15 and A16?

That depends on the OS and software that may or may not take advantage of what the SD 8 Gen 2 has to offer. For example it’s like providing a geriatric with a race car/F1, etc in the Indy 500. You might have an excellent engine, vehicle frame design, pit crew, manager, etc but if the geriatric driver is not skilled or their reflex’s are delayed it will not matter.

Again excuses. I didn't ask anything about the software but about 8 Gen 2's CPU specifically.

This doesn't answer my question at all, but I understand the hesitation, on this forum quite a lot users only like to express their feelings and it's very difficult to admit to facts when they have to.
Anyway Android is a pretty optimized and mature OS . Phones with 8 Gen 2 and Android 13 out of the box will also take advantage of a very new and innovative optimization Google implemented into Linux's kernel and I bet almost nobody here heard about it, all users here know is "Android is not optimized".

The other is having the best Wi-Fi version and the highest speed you can get from you ISP, but the sites you use don't upload as close to your speed

This kinda reminds me of how mobile carriers throttle data speeds after you download a certain amount of data.

They'll give you 500Mbps speed which is super-fast... but they'll throttle you to an almost-unusable 128Kbps speed after you cross some arbitrary limit.

How about giving everyone a nice 50Mbps speed all the time? Why are the only two choices ultra-fast and barely-useable?

🤣

I'd even be good with a reasonable throttled amount. You should at least be able to do text only things in a reasonable time
