Thanks for the detailed article. As always, it's good to see AV1 decoding. What I'd like to see next is VVC decoding taking a foothold. Recently, FFmpeg implemented a VVC decoder in its avcodec library, and after intra-block coding got added, it works all right, but is slow. Most software players will soon get VVC playback automatically because they use the avcodec library. And once VVenC is properly added to FFmpeg, encoding in this codec should gain traction. I predict, however, that it won't dethrone AV1 any time soon, let alone H.264.
Read a review at a website that still runs phone benchmarks and decide of a phone containing said chip is worth buying. Knowing more or less about the GPU won't change that situation either way so the details are pretty unimportant.
I'm waiting for the Snapdragon 8.75sfe Gen 3.333333. A mere 8s Gen3 can't possibly be enough for me.
Let me get my branding crystal ball out... Next move: More "X" in the name ! "X" means "even better" ! I give it... 3 yrs. Get ready for the SD 8x Gen 6, pronounced "sdayxdjènsx".
What's that 8SG2 thou speaketh about ? Those names are so clear and not unwieldy at all, how, HOW ??? could you, a professional, get confused, when it's so clear for the rest of u... never mind.

It should be illegal not to disclose the detailed specs of a product, "Adreno GPU" but what a vague and generic thing to write...Threska - Monday, March 18, 2024 - link

"the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is by and large and enhanced version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2."I wonder whether the author has even once looked at the spec-table he copied into the article himself...
