TheSnapdragon 7 + Gen 2is Qualcomm ’s most powerful mid - range chipset , but is it rightfully as knock-down as the Snapdragon 8 + Gen 1 ? The Snapdragon 8 serial publication is Qualcomm ’s flagship argumentation of central processing unit for smartphones and is currentlyled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 . The Snapdragon 7 series is contrive for premium mid - range smartphones , while the Snapdragon 6 and Snapdragon 4 series are targeted at downhearted mid - range and budget - favorable smartphones , respectively .

Both theSnapdragon 7 + Gen 2(SM7475 - AB ) and the Snapdragon 8 + Gen 1 ( SM8475 ) are 4 nm chipsets invent by TSMC . They also have the same 1 + 3 + 4 mainframe kernel arrangement . For its CPU heart , the Snapdragon 7 + Gen 2 has a Cortex - X2 prime core clocked at 2.91GHz , three Cortex - A710 operation cores clock at 2.49GHz , and four Cortex - A510 efficiency cores clocked at 1.8GHz . TheSnapdragon 8 + Gen 1has identical CPU substance but is clock higher . Its Cortex - X2 core are clocked at 3.2GHz , its three Cortex - A710 core are time at 2.75GHz , and the four Cortex - A510 cores are clock at 2.0GHz .

Thehigher clock speed of the CPU coresin the Snapdragon 8 + Gen 1 ’s signal salutary operation than the Snapdragon 7 + Gen 2 . Geekbench results when using a Qualcomm reference design machine with a Snapdragon 8 + Gen 1 poker chip show scores of 1316 point in the single - core test and 4199 point in the multi - core run . In dividing line , the Snapdragon 7 + Gen 2 scored 1031 points in the single - sum trial and 3707 point in the multi - core test , accord toNanoreview .

On the GPU side , the Snapdragon 8 + Gen 1 has an Adreno 730 GPU clock at 900MHz . The Snapdragon 7 + Gen 2 also has a still nameless Adreno GPU , but it most likely is n’t as knock-down as that of its flagship rival . However , Qualcomm suppose that it offer up 2x the performance overthe Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 ’s GPU .

The 7 + Gen 2 has a Snapdragon X62 5 G Modem that offer up to 4.4 Gbps pinnacle download speeds . It also indorse four common carrier ( mmWave ) , 2x2 MIMO ( mmWave ) , and 4x4 MIMO ( Sub-6 ) . In contrast , the Snapdragon X65 modem inside the Snapdragon 8 + Gen 1 ’s has a peak speed of 10 Gbps , and supports eight carrier ( mmWave ) , 2x2 MIMO ( mmWave ) , and 4x4 MIMO ( Sub-6 ) . Both chipsets have the same Qualcomm FastConnect 6900 Wi - Fi / Bluetooth chip with a vizor velocity of up to 3.6 Gbps , Wi - Fi 6E , tri - band support , Bluetooth 5.3 , and support for Bluetooth Low Energy Audio .

LikeMediaTek ’s Dimensity 1080 mid - range chip , the Qualcomm Spectra Image Signal Processor ( ISP ) in both headphone boasts an 18 - bit ISP and support 200MP image detector . However , while the Snapdragon 7 + Gen 2 is capable of recording in 4 K at 60fps , the Snapdragon 8 + Gen 1 can tape in 8 kibibyte at 30 Federal Protective Service , and in 4 K at 120fps . The Snapdragon 8 + Gen 1 also supports showing with up to 4 K UHD closure at 60Hz and QHD+ at 144Hz . In contrast , the Snapdragon 7 + Gen 2 keep going a maximum display resolving of QHD+ at 120Hz . Both chipsets support Quick Charge 5 .

While the Snapdragon 7 + Gen 2 no doubt backpack some flagship - grade feature , it ’s still not on the same grade as the Snapdragon 8 + Gen 1 , which has a more powerful CPU and GPU , higher-ranking modem , have 8 K recording , and supports displays with a high resolution and refresh charge per unit . Unsurprisingly , smartphones with a Snapdragon 8 + Gen 1 chipshould outperform those with aSnapdragon 7 + Gen 2chipset .
