Xiaomi 12S series with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1: This time, it's cool and quick!

 

The throttling issues with Qualcomm's top CPUs have gotten progressively worse in recent years. For certain OEMs, notably Xiaomi, downclocking the CPUs that were throttled is the solution. It can be challenging to discern if a CPU is underclocked when carrying out ordinary daily operations, but it becomes obvious when handling severe loads like gaming.

Although the performance is sacrificed, it does help to lower the temperature. Here is a comparison of smartphones featuring Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 from previous years.

Samsung leads with the smallest temperature gain, but at the expense of finishing last in the Geekbench rankings. via TechNick, test outcomes

Regarding the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1:

TSMC uses a 4 nm technology to produce the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor. Samsung produced the original iPhone. Xiaomi provided a graph showing the CPU utilisation of the 8+ Gen 1 prior to the launch of the 12S series on July 4.

"8+ Gen 1" utilises 30% less power than "8 Gen 1" when performing the same difficult activity. GPU power use differs much more with a 33 percent difference. Reduced power use results in less heat and longer battery life. Additionally, according to Xiaomi, battery life has improved.

With 8+ Gen 1, battery life is increased by 15%.

CPU effectiveness is important when it comes to the battery life of smartphones. Xiaomi contrasts the 12S and 12 series' battery life.

Compared to the Xiaomi 12, the Xiaomi 12S's battery performance is 15% better. Xiaomi 11 is miles off from it. The Snapdragon 888 CPU that powers the 2020-released Xiaomi 11 has the same thermal concerns as the 8 Gen 1 processor.

Xiaomi claims to be fairly confident with Xiaomi 12S temps while under intense task. The Xiaomi 12S series will be unveiled in two days. Please comment with your thoughts.
