Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 vs Apple A15 Bionic vs Apple A16 Bionic

How does the peak performance of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 compare to the peak performances of the Apple A15 Bionic and the Apple A16 Bionic? In this video I take a look at the single-core CPU scores, the multi-core CPU scores, and the 3DMark GPU scores.

I really wish we could get to see more speed test g videos I wish it resumes again

[Saif]

GPU performance is massively impressive on the Adreno 740 in the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 👌

Gary, we need more detail on the modems, please. I think that the one thing that might make a difference and push me to upgrade my 8 Gen 1 is the X70 modem in Gen 2. I use two SIM cards and the the X70 is said to be "Dual Active". I use a near real time audio streaming application. When the X65 modem in my S22 checks the non priority carrier, the main carrier audio goes blank for a short interval, interrupting the stream. Since a data buffer is included in most streaming apps and fills this gap, most people won't experience this problem, but the latency of a short buffer isn't acceptable for the service I'm using. I suspect many game players have this concern as well.

It's sad that there is no speed test G anymore

I feel, techies aside, that we have reached peak performance in CPU and GPU and that race for more and more is now a bit superfluous. Hopefully, the ML and Ai will get equally significant upgrades as I feel these will become the drivers going forward, and they, of course, are also software-based.

The 3nm, as promised, will hopefully be geared for efficiency rather than brute force; using 30% less power to complete the same task as these "4nm" chips is a giant leap in battery life and thermals. To me, the A16 and SD8G2 are just filling the vacuum until the next-gen 3nm arrives, assuming they live up to the promises (TSMC have delays due to yield).

Thank you Gary.
I would like to see a comparison video, where you compare these processors with Dimensity 9200.

[RecklessTurtle]

Fantastic comparison Gary 👍It is nice to see that QC has finally caught up with the last year's iPhone SoC. Best of luck next year...

Performance per watt :
Gpu : ( gfx manhattan es 3.1 1080p offscreen)
A16 : 195 fps @ 7.5 watt
8 gen 2 : 220 fps @ 7.5 watt
D9200 : 220 fps @ 10 watt

Cpu : geekbench
A16: 5450 @ 9.5 watt or 4500 @ 7 watt
8 gen 2 : 5250 @ 9.5 watt or 4500 @ 7.5 watt
Dimensity 9200: 4450 @ 7.8 watt

Can you please do a speed test of Snapdragon 8 gen 2 vs a15/16 Bionic, would really love to see how close the gap is now

[david-spliso]

This is like comparing Crosse & Blackwell baked beans to Heinz baked beans for your beans on toast today. Both will taste great, so take your personal pick.

[mindlessfun]

I would like to see the Photography and video quality on the SD8G2.

[mullergyula]

I would like to see this Snapdragon CPU in laptops and tablets. It is great to see, that Apple gets some competition.

[justapassione]

Is it better to fix window on arm or make an os based on Android for laptop?

[ybe]

the advancement in these chips is cool n all it's to the point where the average person can't really tell a difference in performance. I'm more interested in the modem and advancements in the connectivity speeds atp like with QCOM's x70 capabilities..

[harryvlogs]

Well, in terms of CPU, it comes extremely close to the a16 and in GPU. Absolutely surpasses it while also being more efficient

[andikappradana]

I hope you do speedtest G to these chipsets

[neilmcguinness]

Can anyone here tell me if Samsung are going to be using their own foundry on their variant of the 8Gen2 chip in the S23 Ultra as I originally thought, or whether they will be sticking with TSMC's foundry on the phone as I have heard over the last week from good sources?.

[jakublizon]

I'm just curious, do these specs actually translate to anything noticeable? Or more importantly, useful? Yes, you got me, i have a p7pro. But I'm not blind, i know it can't compete in benchmarks. But it's so useful. It really is like you s personal assistant. I'd prefer if non Google fans give me their take.

[PrabhatXLR]

Looking forward for Speed Test G videos

[robert-janvanloon]

i hope to see a video witch an SD 8G2 device
