MediaTek Dimensity 8100: The Redmi K50 smacks the Galaxy S22 Ultra and iPad Air 5 in gaming tests

[Redaktion]

The Redmi K50 debuted a few weeks ago as the first Dimensity 8100-powered device on the market. The Dimensity 8100 has put up stellar performances in synthetic benchmarks so far, and it appears to also be one of the best chipsets for mobile gaming as well, as it manages to outperform the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Apple M1 in an Apex Legends Mobile test.

The game is capped at 60fps, so it's ridiculous to say that it smacks the iPad Air, even more so when the iPad Air is running the game at a higher resolution, as stated in the table.

I disagree with you. Precisely because it is limited to 60fps it helps to be more comparable. About the resolution (of the screen in the case): Ipad Air 2022: 1640 x 2360p = 3.8M pixels; Redmi K50: 1440 x 3200p = 4.6M pixels. Just the K50 run at 82% of the screen resolution that are equivalent. Even at the base resolution of the category (1080x2400p) the iPad Air should only spend 30% more (30% higher resolution), but, it is consuming 127% more power. Apart from the case of the Galaxy, which should run more comparable to the K50 and still spend 50% more energy. Whichever optics you use, the Dimensity 8100 is insanely efficient!!

Sorry, but no! If it is capped at 60fps and both devices reach 60fps, then you cannot make any conclusions about performance based on fps. As for resolution, it is the table itself from the tester that states that the game was run on the iPad at a higher resolution [you shouldn't confuse screen resolution with 3D rendering resolution, since many mobile games do upscaling].
As for efficiency, if it doesn't do the same work (again, table says it didn't run at same resolutions) you cannot really calculate it based only on power consumption. And I actually doubt that the power consumption that he presents is only from the SoC since he is calculating power consumption based on battery usage.
