Power-hungry Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 gets trounced by the Apple A15 Bionic in real-world gaming test

[Redaktion]

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 has yet again been put through a Genshin Impact gaming test, this time versus the Apple 15 Bionic on the iPhone 13 Pro Max. The results? Well, not particularly impressive, especially in terms of power consumption.

Makes me wonder how many Android phones are going to include some kind of cooling, particularly active cooling. The 8 Gen 1 seems to have a lot of thermal issues.

should be awesome see 8gen1 in a sbc or a minipc @15W  :p

Android used active cooling system, soc 8 gen 1, soc first faster/ different soc other different brand.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (8G1) is known to have heat issues, but to be fair, I don't trust the Motorola x30's suspiciously low price. You know they had to cut some major corners to get a 8G1 into a $500 phone, and I bet adequate cooling was one of the sacrifices they made.

This, combined with the recent benchmark results, give me hope for the Exynos 2200 finally being equal or better. I really hope they do well this time because it Samsung ditches Exynos, it means I will lose many of the better settings and modes in FiLMiC Pro as the Snapdragon Galaxy's are hampered with the camera API.

Seeing how you have based your article on an unfair comparison between THE latest iPhone and a Motorola phone I have never heard of shows how biased you are.Unlike the Apple chipset,which can be fully optimized for the iphone,the Snapdragon Is used by multiple manufacturers.

What a rubbish article
In short

Avg frames iphone     48 fps
Avg frames Motorola 46.8 fps

For real? You use Motorola for this test, mother.. this article is just a humiliation

[Yuli]

Wow what a rubbish article, probably the guy is some apple 🐑

Well... One issue tho..

The main cons, to me, for the A15 : it's apple only

The SD8Gen1 can and will be found in a lot of different devices like the SD888/888+/870 before (and not only in the 800-1200 price range "flagships")

As for me, why would I get something else than my 299$ SD870 powered device that can also run Genshin Impact at decent frame rates while all details maxed...
