The company believes that testing needs to be done differently MediaTek decided to respond to the hype surrounding the incredible throttling of the SoC Dimensity 9300 . It turned out that incorrect tests were to blame. [caption id="attachment_85084" align="alignnone" width="600"] MediaTek[/caption] It is well known that all modern smartphones are equipped with thermal management to ensure that the temperature of the device is maintained within an acceptable/safe range. MediaTek reacts to criticism of the incredible throttling of the SoC Dimensity 9300 The best way to use a CPU throttling test to compare devices is to run the test with the devices at the same temperature. Thanks to its larger CPU cores, the Dimensity 9300 will achieve a much higher maximum and average score than the competition if testing is done correctly. Thus, Dimensity 9300 will be able to provide greater computing performance throughout the test. It is not very clear how testing with the same temperature of smartphone cases should be carried out in practice and what relation this has to real use scenarios, however, so far there are only Vivo flagships on the market with the Dimensity 9300, so we need to wait for other smartphones to fully evaluate the behavior new MediaTek platform.

But 20 dollars more expensive than A16 Bionic Despite the state-of-the-art 3nm process technology, the Apple A17 Pro SoC is reportedly less expensive than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. [caption id="attachment_69898" align="alignnone" width="780"] Apple A17 Pro[/caption] Nikkei estimates that each A17 Pro SoC costs $130. That's more expensive than the A16 Bionic at $110, but the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 costs an impressive $160. The most advanced 3-nanometer SoC Apple A17 Pro turned out to be cheaper than Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Of course, a direct comparison here is somewhat incorrect, since Apple does not sell its platforms to anyone, but in the case of the Snapdragon SoC, there is Qualcomm, which buys platforms from TSMC and then sells them to smartphone manufacturers. Of course, making money from it. Against this background, it will be quite interesting to find out how much the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will cost.
