I believe you are the same as me, and you can't wait to know the achievements of the second generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform in various standard scoring projects. It should be noted first that the data displayed here only represents the laboratory running scores obtained on the development machine provided by Qualcomm, and does not represent the specific commercially available models. They may differ due to factors such as manufacturer optimization and configuration differences.
This time, Snapdragon surpasses Apple ?
Under the Antutu V9.3.0 version, Lei Technology's most ideal score is 1283001 points , with the CPU being 272232 points, the GPU being 572154 points, the storage being 244288 points, and the UX being 194327 points. Compared with the first generation of Snapdragon 8 released a year ago, Qualcomm claims to be able to show the improvements in running scores. The LPDDR5X 8533+UFS 4.0 support greatly improves the storage score.

Come to Antutu’s specific subkey, you can more clearly perceive the progress made by the second generation of Snapdragon 8 in CPU single-core performance, CPU multi-core performance, and GPU graphics performance, which is even greater than Snapdragon 888 to the first generation of Snapdragon 8. And we have reason to believe that with the more advanced architecture and TSMC N4 process, the actual experience can be fast and stable .
Cross-platform comparison of common Geekbench5, the second-generation Snapdragon 8's single-core running score is 1484 points and the multi-core running score is 5271 points. Compared with the A16 chip that "squeezes toothpaste", there is a gap in single cores, but multiple cores can already lead to a significant gap. This may mean that mobile phones using this mobile platform will have a relatively more leading multi-threaded application performance on the market.

In several GFXBench graphics performance tests, the second generation of Snapdragon 8 gave the expected performance : it has an improvement of 20% to 30% or even more than the first generation of Snapdragon 8, and it also has the confidence to overtake the Apple chip, which has led the previous lead. Combined with energy consumption performance, in the future, you may be able to buy mobile phones with longer battery life and more stable operation when performing similar large-scale tasks (such as high-intensity games).

Come to the relatively unpopular browser performance and AI performance tests, the second generation of Snapdragon 8 also lived up to expectations and improved. However, it is difficult for us to describe the correspondence between these achievements and actual daily applications - the scenarios of using webview and AI reasoning in mobile phones are quite complex, and the speed of development of cutting-edge technologies is no longer as good as evaluation tools, so the results presented by manufacturers' optimization are more critical.

Qualcomm is quite confident in the advantages of the AI field, and also brings micro-slicing inference that improves the efficiency of AI inference, as well as INT4 precision computing support that can reduce processing power consumption. It also wants developers to use these technologies to lower the threshold, and will provide automatic hybrid precision support (AMP) in the future. software and hardware integration optimization performance will be the focus of Qualcomm and MediaTek in competition in AI capabilities .
In general, there is no doubt that the powerful performance of the second generation Snapdragon 8 is, and many of them have been facing Apple for the first time in recent years.With the energy efficiency performance that can be fully trusted, the several second-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile phones that will soon meet us, and will become the "real fragrance machine" in late 2022 and early 2023.
Where did the strongest Snapdragon platform in history come from?
production process have an obvious impact on semiconductor products. Therefore, some people are concerned about why the second-generation Snapdragon 8 adopts the same TSMC N4 process as Snapdragon 8+, rather than the more advanced N4P on paper. Technicians said that N4 is most suitable for mass production, and it can be clearly found in the above test data that the extreme performance of the second-generation Snapdragon 8 has many highlights.
The large core of the second generation Snapdragon 8 uses a combination of two A715 cores and two A710 cores. There is a significant difference in technical selection from only three A715s in the Dimensity 9200. Qualcomm technicians explained their approach this way: still has a certain number of 32-bit applications that require use of . If you just use small cores to run, it may be tight, so you chose the route they think is the correct one.

Technicians also believe that the 1+4+3 architecture of the second generation Snapdragon 8 will greatly improve performance when running more complex multi-threaded applications such as games. This is indeed possible to see on multi-threaded running scores. Geekbench5's 5271-point multi-core score has obvious advantages at the moment. Next, we can expect that applications can make full use of multi-core performance in the actual experience of the mobile phone.
Currently, there is continuous running score data flowing out, most of which are the second-generation Snapdragon 8 codenamed SM8550-AB, with a super-large core frequency of 3.2GHz, and is expected to appear in upcoming products such as vivo, Xiaomi , moto and other brands. What is special is that the super-large core frequency of the second generation of Snapdragon 8 of Samsung mobile phone has reached a higher 3.36GHz, which may imply that the " overclocking version" has not yet been officially released.
The biggest highlight of the second generation of Snapdragon 8's new generation Adreno GPU is that it realizes ray tracing on the phone, and can take into account the stable operation of 60 frames over 30 minutes and power consumption of no more than 5W. This gives us a good reason to expect ray tracing to gradually spread out in mobile games. Ordinary users do not need to pay an extra cost to see more realistic picture lighting performance in the game.

In addition to introducing ray tracing design in GPU hardware, Qualcomm has also invested resources in software and cooperated with game engines and game R&D teams to enable ray tracing correctly with high performance and low energy consumption. Lei Technology and the mobile game "Against the Cold" also learned the corresponding information. The two sides worked closely together to optimize the game performance to achieve the effect of running 720p to 1080p and at high frame rate on the second generation Snapdragon 8.
NetEase Leihuo invested 3 months of working hours of a 20-person expert group (including overtime during the National Day holiday), and finally, the world's first large-scale MMORPG mobile game has been implemented, and it will provide switches in a universal package like an PC game. has a mobile game with more real light, and it is expected to be adapted to other platforms in the future. The second generation of Snapdragon 8 is obviously an important character .
The ISP throughput of the second generation Snapdragon 8 is still 3.2 billion pixels per second. Qualcomm believes that it can meet the current zero-shut delay shooting needs. How to change in the future will be adjusted accordingly according to the image sensor. No need to increase processing speed will increase unnecessary power consumption. It is more important to handle the image data entering the ISP well, and enhanced semantic segmentation processing technology is one of the results.
2023 "True Fragrance Machine" is ready to go
Unless there is a suitable price, there is no reason, etc. New phones that use the second generation Snapdragon 8: the new features powered by AI are enough to make people look forward to it, and the further improvement of performance and comprehensive energy efficiency is expected to become more handy in various scenarios.What's more, new material screen, new image system, etc., which are related to daily experience, will also appear in in these upcoming products.
The first thing to meet everyone should be the vivo X90 Pro+ that will be officially released on November 23. This is a flagship phone that focuses on images. It has the IMX989 main camera with 1G+7P lens, 8MP ultra-wide angle, 2X 50MP portrait, and 3.5X 64MP periscope telephoto secondary camera. How to optimize images with the second-generation Snapdragon 8 will be a big highlight .
