Snapdragon 865 and before Snapdragon 8+, Android flagships performed not very well. The reason is that the processors given by Qualcomm are not very good. is relatively good, but its performance is slightly better, but its performance is not better than the previous Snapdragon 865. The other three processors are a bit disappointing. Two of them have severe heat and the other has poor performance. Do you know which three processors are? Let’s analyze it in detail below.

1, Snapdragon 888

There were many Snapdragon 888 mobile phones in the first half of 2021, and everyone's performance was not very good because it heated too high. As for why, let's take a look at its specifications:

Snapdragon 888 consists of 1*X1 super-large core (2.84GHz) + 3*A78 large core (2.42GHz) + 4*A55 (1.8GHz) , the GPU is Adreno660, and the X60 baseband is integrated.

In fact, just looking at its CPU part is fine. Even if uses X1 super core, its power consumption is only more than 3W . There are two main reasons for the overturn:

, Its GPU power consumption is high . Especially when playing games, GPU has a large load, causing the body temperature to rise continuously, triggering the manufacturer's temperature control strategy, leading to the frequency reduction phenomenon, which makes you feel stuck.

and Samsung 5nm process . Although it is a 5nm technology, it is actually not as good as TSMC's 7nm process, resulting in the energy efficiency of Snapdragon 888.

So most mobile phones using Snapdragon 888 are hotter. Although I have put a lot of effort into the cooling configuration, the experience is still not very good.

2. Snapdragon 8Gen1

This processor is very familiar to everyone. To this day, there are still many flagships that use this processor to sell. To be honest, its performance is not much better than Snapdragon 888. The specifications are as follows:

Snapdragon 8Gen1 consists of 1*X2 super-large core (3.0GHz) + 3*A710 large core (2.5GHz) + 4*A510 small core (1.8GHz) , the GPU is Adreno 730, integrated X65 baseband, and the process is Samsung 4nm.

is different from Snapdragon 888. The GPU power consumption and GPU power consumption of Snapdragon 8Gen1 have both reversed. Its CPU single-core power consumption reaches 4.2W, and CPU multi-core power consumption even reaches 11.1W. You should know that the performance release of some thin and light notebooks is only about 10W.

In addition, in terms of GPU power consumption, Snapdragon 8Gen1 even reaches 11.2W, which is the highest among all mobile phone processors at present.

CPU and GPU power consumption are both reversed, which is closely related to the Samsung 4nm process it uses. After replacing it with TSMC 4nm process, the performance of Snapdragon 8+ has been greatly improved, which is enough to show the collapse of Samsung's process.

3. Snapdragon 7Gen1

Strictly speaking, this processor is not hot. What I complain about is its performance , because it was positioned at that time as a replacement for Snapdragon 778G, but after it came out, everyone found that its actual performance has not improved any improvement compared to Snapdragon 778G. The specifications are as follows:

Snapdragon 778GG consists of 1*A710 large core (2.4GHz) + 3*A710 large core (2.36GHz) + 4*A510 small core (1.8GHz) , and the process is Samsung 4nm.

You can see the comparison diagram of it and Snapdragon 778G. The single-core performance of CPU has no improvement, and the multi-core performance has even reversed . There is a big gap between and Dimensity 8100 . Naturally, everyone is not interested in this processor.

Station Brother also revealed that Snapdragon 7Gen1 is a processor that is disliked by manufacturers. The next generation OPPO Reno9 even replaced Snapdragon 7Gen1 with Snapdragon 778G.

So To sum up, mobile phones equipped with these three processors are not worth buying now. People in the mid-range are Snapdragon 870 and Dimensity 8100, and Snapdragon 8+ in the high-end are Snapdragon 8+.
