After months of waiting, the Californian manufacturer has finally decided to grab the bulls by the horns. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 recently announced by the manufacturer is made by TSMC rather than Samsung, as has earlier predicted from the rumors.
Honestly, it is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus that we were expecting, but surprisingly it is the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 that came.No regrets anyway. This SoC is still made for high-end smartphones such as the likes of Xiaomi, OnePlus, Samsung, Vivo, and Motorola from the third quarter of 2022, to be exact
So what does this new chip have in store for us? Let us get started
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1’s major flaw is that it tends to heat up a bit if you play the large arms too much, which might cause performance or autonomy issues. Qualcomm has acknowledged the problem and is attempting to address it with its 8+ Gen 1 processor. The 8 Gen 1 was made by Samsung, whereas the 8 Plus was created by TSMC, which uses a 4 nm etching method that is more efficient and less focused on heating.
Furthermore, assuming a 10% increase in pure performance for the CPU and GPU is confirmed, we are most interested in the chip’s claims in terms of energy efficiency. In particular, the upgraded Kryo CPUs and Adreno GPUs should both provide a considerable 30 percent boost in this area. Overall, the phone is projected to improve its energy efficiency by 15%.
The manufacturer says one hour will be the most likely gaming time as far as the Autonomy aspect is put into the table. Switching to the GPU aspect, Let’s keep the GPU’s maximum clock at 3.2 GHz for those who want pure power. We maintain the same team on the other components of this SoC, which is sensible for a Plus version.
