Welcoem to posts!!
in the future - u will be able to do some more stuff here,,,!! like pat catgirl- i mean um yeah... for now u can only see others's posts :c
For my Galaxy S23 Ultra Genshin Impact test, I think I need a bit more time to study the issue to avoid giving you any false information.
I really don't believe any Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 device could be this bad. Something could be wrong here.
I'll keep you updated.
The confusing thing is that I'm seeing very inconsistent performance, sometimes it's averaging ~ 40fps and then next time I start the game it runs at 55-60fps.
But I can't figure out what is triggering it yet, let me do more tests.

The Adreno740 GPU in Snapdragon8Gen2 is so fast ,and incredibly efficient at the same time .
This has to be some black magic doesn't it?
Will Apple even catch up with A17?

Here's my GPU performance/power test of the AppleM1 and M2, devices used are 2021/2022 iPadPro 12.9
We can learn that the M2 is a performance boosted version of M1, at the expense of power, the efficiency is almost identical. Not much architectural gain at all between generations.
And I expect that if we can overclock the GPU in 8Gen2 , it should be able to reach Apple M1 level of performance at similar power figures. It's really a stagnant year for Apple and a leap year for Android.
If you ask me I'm actually quite disappointed, the M2 is the only upgrade on iPad Pro 2022 yet it's such an underwhelming upgrade.

Tensor G2 performance/power test results:
CPU:
Big cores deliver very marginal improvements over the 1st Gen Tensor, and performs almost exactly same as the Exynos 2100 big core.
Mid cores are slightly worse than those mid cores in SD865 (which was released back in 2019)
To compare against the current best Android SoC SD8+Gen1, the SD8+Gen1 big core would use approx. 2W of power to achieve similar performance as Tensor G2, meaning the efficiency gap is ~60% here.
For mid core, the SD8+G1 is ~30% faster than Tensor G2 mid core, while using slightly less power.
GPU:
The performance is same as or slightly worse than Tensor 1. Google being super conservative.
Efficiency is better than Tensor 1.
However it's no match for SD8+Gen1. At the same performance SD8+Gen1 should have ~2x efficiency. For example a data point that we have is in GFX 3.1 test, SD8+Gen1 will use ~3W power to achieve 120FPS, which is basically half of Tensor G2 and hence double the efficiency.

#Snapdragon8PlusGen1 is really impressive.
Top Android CPU performance with very good efficiency improvements.
GPU is arguably better than Apple A15 in some tests for both performance AND efficiency.
Compared to predecessor SD8Gen1:
CPU Big: Perf+8%, Power-15%, Efficiency+28%
CPU Mid: Perf+12%, Power-30%, Efficiency+60%
GPU:Perf+5%, Power-12%, Efficiency+19%
Aren't those amazing numbers?
If we had this from the beginning of the year, 2022 could've been a much better year for Android users...

Recently there has been some discussion about the actual rendering resolution of Genshin Impact for different phone models.
I'm glad that some of you have noticed this and are paying attention to such details.
However I really don't think we should spend too much time/effort on this topic.
If a device is rendering at a noticeable lower or higher resolution so the FPS/power results are not comparable, I will certainly tell you. I did say the resolution is much higher when I tested the iPad, and I also said resolution was lower when I tested the K50 and I updated the results after a system update which fixed the resolution.
But you need to understand that most properly supported flagship phones run the game at 700-800p resolution give or take. And it's really not much difference even if you take a in game screenshot and zoom in to 200% level to pixel peek.
In such cases I WILL NOT try to find the exact resolution and tell you exactly which device is slightly higher or lower, because:
1, it's simply impossible to find the exact resolution with 100% accuracy. Yeah I know you can count pixels on jagged edges to estimate the res, however it's not proven to be accurate and it's in fact not accurate. Just look at these results from various Chinese reviewers if you understand Chinese, the numbers are all over the place ( Chinese reviewers are the first to invent the pixel counting method BTW)
2, slightly difference in resolution is not noticeable. So it'll eventually become a dick measuring contest. It'll only be used by brand fans to prove their chip superior when FPS results is not good, and serves no positive purpose for what I actually want to deliver.
3, it complicates things unnecessarily for most audience. Imagine saying: well device A is doing 55 FPS which is better than device B which only does 30fps but device B is rendering the game at 785p while device A is rendering at 750P so maybe the device B is not that bad. Duh.
4, if you really want to count pixels then it's not only a matter of vertical pixels, you need to consider horizontal pixels as well, but then the aspect ratios are all over the place, it'll make thing even more complicated.
5, you cannot freely change the resolution anyway so it is what it is. If it's like PC games that allow you to set a fixed resolution then of course I will clearly state the numbers.
So in short: I'll make sure to check the resolution before testing the performance and make judgements. If there's noticeable difference I'll let you know. If there isn't a very noticeable difference, I won't entertain dick measuring contest requests because I don't see any value in it.

The #Dimensity9000 and #Dimensity8100 are super efficient, really amazing!
Dimensity 9000 vs Snapdragon 8Gen1:
CPU:
X2 core +33% efficiency;
A710 core not testable at the moment, will update later
GPU:
+12% efficiency in GFXBench 3.1;
+45% efficiency in 3DMark.
Dimensity 8100 vs Snapdragon 870 is more amazing:
CPU:
+42% efficiency
GPU:
+20% efficiency in GFXBench 3.1
+64% efficiency in 3DMark
D8100 is the real successor for Snapdragon 865, 865+, and 870
At $400 price point this SoC seems invincible to me.
Only thing: MTK don't mess up drivers and support.

This Exynos1280 is utterly terrible.

Scumbugs like this will pretend to be me and reply your comments saying you win a prize, asking you to transfer "shipping" to receive the prize.
Don't fall for it, it's not me. And I will NEVER ask for personal information or ask for money from any of you, not a single cent.
Remember: if he's asking for money, he's a scammer.
