Snapdragon recently announced the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Chipset in China. It is a slightly Overclocked version of the 8 Gen 1 launched last year. Moreover, the 8+ Gen 1 chipset is built using the TSMC 4nm architecture and 3.2GHz Cores. So, let’s find out how’s it this powerful as the Dimensity 9000 launched last year.
Performance
| Specs | Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 | Dimensity 9000 |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture | TSMC 4nm | Samsung 4nm |
| Cores | 1x 3.2 GHz – Cortex-X2 3x 2.8 GHz – Cortex-A710 4x 1.8 GHz – Cortex-A510 | 11x 3.05 GHz – Cortex-X2 3x 2.85 GHz – Cortex-A710 4x 1.8 GHz – Cortex-A510 |
