With the arrival of the new Snapdragon 8 Gen3 machine, the old Snapdragon 8 Gen2 mobile phone will naturally usher in a price reduction, at present, about 3,000 can win the old Snapdragon 8 Gen2 high-end machine, and at the same time, at this price, there are also new machines equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen3 for everyone to choose, so in this case, is it to buy a new Snapdragon 8 Gen3 machine, or the old Snapdragon 8 Gen2 high-end machine?
For this question, the first question is the differences between Snapdragon 8 Gen3 and Snapdragon 8 Gen2, and what these differences will ultimately reflect on the actual experience, and whether it will bring a significant improvement in perception.
In terms of performance scores, the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 is naturally stronger, with the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 scoring 1693 points for single-core and 6782 points for multi-core in the Geekbench 5 test, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 scoring 1504 points for single-core and 5273 points for multi-core. In 3DMark Wildlife Extreme, the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 scored 5170 and the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 scored 3782.
Judging from the relevant running scores, Snapdragon 8 Gen3's CPU single-core score is about 12% ahead, multi-core score is about 28% ahead, GPU score is about 37% ahead, and Snapdragon 8 Gen3's lead is still relatively obvious, which brings the perception of experience is to have a more extreme game experience, the most intuitive is "Honkai: Star Dome Railway" This kind of game, Snapdragon 8 Gen3 can only control.
However, many users do not have a high demand for games, so in this case, the performance of Snapdragon 8 Gen3 is stronger, is it lonely? However, this is not the case, because the factor that measures the power of the processor is not only the score, but also the difference in energy efficiency, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 has significantly improved the energy efficiency of both CPU and GPU.
Therefore, in daily ordinary use scenarios, Snapdragon 8 Gen3 can also bring better energy consumption, and in the case of similar battery capacity, the new Snapdragon 8 Gen3 does have better battery life. Moreover, in medium and high-load gaming scenarios, the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 performance output is more stable and the heating performance is also better, so the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 can indeed bring a better experience.
Therefore, for those users who pursue the ultimate gaming experience, Snapdragon 8 Gen3 is a better choice, but for users who do not have many gaming needs, Snapdragon 8 Gen2 does not have any shortcomings, and in this case, it is more necessary to consider the image and texture outside the processor, and the old Snapdragon 8 Gen2 high-end machines often have advantages in this regard.
Take Xiaomi 13 as an example,At present12+256GBThe version is about 3000,Although its performance is not as good as the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 new machine at the same price,But Xiaomi Mi 13The image collocation is more balanced,And it should be more in place in terms of texture,The surrounding functions are also more complete,What wireless charging、IP68These have not fallen,For ordinary users, Xiaomi 13 is undoubtedly more practical。
In general, the improvement of Snapdragon 8 Gen3 compared with Snapdragon 8 Gen2 is not only the running score, but also the energy efficiency has been significantly improved, and the relevant improvement can be reflected in the perception of use, in many scenarios, it can be perceived that the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 has better heat control, more stable and powerful performance output, and even in daily use, its energy consumption will be lower, and the battery life is better than that of the previous generation machine.
However, in the choice of products, the processor is not all, plus the actual performance of Snapdragon 8 Gen2 is also very good, so for those users who do not have high performance needs, a budget of about three thousand, the previous generation of Snapdragon 8 Gen2 high-end machine is indeed more fragrant, of course, the better way is to add money to the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 high-end flagship, but this is nonsense.
