Which one is better, the third generation Snapdragon 8s or the second generation Snapdragon 8?

On March 18, Qualcomm held a new product flagship conference, bringing the new third-generation Snapdragon 8s, known as the new generation flagship chip, and the third-generation Snapdragon 8 together as a dual flagship.But in fact, the third generation Snapdragon 8s can be regarded as the smaller 8Gen3, which is slightly inferior in all aspects.So which one is better, the third generation Snapdragon 8s or the previous generation flagship chip, the second generation Snapdragon 8?

Which one is better, the third generation Snapdragon 8s or the second generation Snapdragon 8?

The overall performance of the third-generation Snapdragon 8s should be similar to the second-generation Snapdragon 8, and is expected to be slightly stronger.

The new Snapdragon 8sGen3 uses TSMC’s 4nm process technology. The CPU architecture is the same as that of Snapdragon 8Gen3. The core parameters are 1x3.0GHz@X4 large core, 4x2.8GHz@A720 large core, 3x2.0GHz@A520 small core, and is equipped with Adreno 735 GPU., equipped with FastConnect 7800 mobile connection system, supports Wi-Fi7 network, built-in Snapdragon X70 5G modem, and the overall performance index is between Snapdragon 8Gen3 and Snapdragon 8Gen2.

Snapdragon 8Gen2 adopts an eight-core CPU architecture, with main frequency parameters of 1x3.19GHz@X3 large core, 2x2.8GHz@A715 large core, 2x2.8GHz@A710 large core, 3x2.0GHz@A510 small core, and adopts Adreno 740 GPU.AnTuTu performance score is around 1.6 million.

Snapdragon 8sGen3 uses Adreno 735 GPU, while Snapdragon 8Gen2 uses Adreno 740 GPU. The former GPU is slightly weaker; but the CPU is a bit subtle. Although the CPU used in Snapdragon 8sGen3 has a more advanced core, its frequency is lower thanSnapdragon 8Gen2 means that the performance of the two is relatively close.

Judging from the current announcement, the third-generation Snapdragon 8s is stronger than the second-generation Snapdragon 8 in terms of CPU, but the GPU is slightly worse.Overall, there shouldn't be much difference between the two, but the third-generation Snapdragon 8s may be more popular because of its new architecture.
