 Hey guys, Thunder E here and welcome to my very last gaming video of the year But the first gaming video for snapdragon 8 gen 2. Yes Qualcomm just announced it It's finally here. The first device is the vivo x90 pro plus This has the snapdragon 8 gen 2 We're gonna see how well it performs in this video gaming wise especially when we look at a Snapdragon 8 gen 1 device as a comparison to see what that leap is all about in terms of performance Now vivo has crafted devices really nice. I love the faux vegan leather on here I also like the fact that the case feels exactly like the back of the device So put it on this case here. It doesn't take it away from the aesthetics of the device You've got a quad camera setup here, which is pretty cool, but we're not talking about cameras in this video I'll attach some some images for you guys at the end to see what the cameras like but if you guys want a camera comparison with say the galaxy s 22 ultra all the pixel 7 pro let me know and I'll definitely do that for you now in terms of gaming hardware here as I mentioned Snapdragon 8 gen 2 we have up to 12 gigabytes of RAM can go up to 512 gigabytes of storage here Our display is a 6.78 inch AMOLED display 120 Hertz. There'll be vision HDL 10 plus Again, high refresh rate is pretty good and allows you to do more on this device. So What does that mean in terms of performance? Qualcomm talked about increased performance in terms of GPU and CPU, but what does that mean? First off, let us run a geek benchmark to see where the benchmarks land So for geek benchmark our single core is a thousand four hundred and seventy eight and our multicore is 5,110 that is quite impressive It seems like a high number, but what does that mean from last year with the snapdragon 8? Gen 1 so aka this year Well looking at the galaxy s 22 ultra its single core was 894 so basically that's way less than the single core for this agent to device and its multicore is 2,911 for the galaxy while the vivo x90 pro plus is 5,110 so again a huge jump in terms of just raw performance that we're seeing here on geek bench Which is pretty nice to see in terms of just Performance so the next thing of course is gaming. How does it fare when we play the games? We want to play now. Let me just put this caveat here guys None of these games are optimized for this chipset again It was just announced a month ago this device is just here Most of these games have not gone into any kind of at least adaptation for the new chipset But what kind of performance do we get so we're running? My favorite benchmark tool game bench and then I ran just three games for this and I also looked at the temperatures on This device now it's not indicative of the temperatures of the chipset It's just how this device is built games are called you the mobile PUBG mobile and of course Genshin impact So when we go ahead and we check of course called you mobile just to start we can run it at a very high Framerate and I ran two sessions on this game, and I got 90 frames per second CPU usage was 12% not much of CPU GPU is up to 40% and Around resource in terms of RAM so by and run 53 megabytes of RAM That is pretty nice in their frame rates also Stayed pretty steady. There were some times they dropped down, of course They average was more may around in the 80s, but still said pretty strong overall So that's actually pretty cool. Now PUBG mobile. What kind of performance do we actually see here with PUBG mobile playing that of course? Smooth extreme able to get a solid 60 frames a second, which is to be expected That's something that we tend to see 12% CPU usage 13% GPU usage, so which means it's not a lot of usage there So I'm sure they can be optimized to do more and RAM usage is 537 again, not a lot of usage here in terms of your CPU and GPU now playing at Ultra HD ultra we got 40 frames per second I didn't get any more information in terms of CPU GPU usage here But it ran steady at 40 frames, which was also solid. So again similar numbers that we had last year and that's not a big problem So what about Genshin impact now? Remember Genshin impact is a game that? Very few devices could run at 60 frames per second for 30 minutes. We've looked at the Galaxy S20 22 Ultra. We've looked at even the iPhone 14 Pro Max we've looked at the 1 plus 10 T which actually did pretty well This is usually reserved for your gaming phones that have of course a better cooling and consider a higher clock rate Constantly, but what about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with the vivo X90 Pro Plus? so Genshin we played for 30 minutes and 10 seconds and We got 59 frames per second. Yes We got 59 frames per second on this device playing Genshin impact now in terms of research usage You could see here that CPU is up at 24% GPU was at 71% so a lot of high GPU usage, but not maxed out So which means we could definitely run at close to 60 frames per second which basically 59 Constantly for 30 minutes of gameplay, which is quite impressive RAM usage was quite high though at at 15 69 so about 1500 for RAM usage But this allowed us to stay at that effective frame rate quite well So I definitely liked seeing that here and this is not a gaming phone This is a phone that Vivo has built around the camera But it's running the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and that kind of gaming performance has me quite impressed now when it comes to temperatures The temperatures on this device. I got up to about a hundred and four degrees in terms of temps Which is actually pretty solid. I think they've done a good job to temperatures on also the chipset also adds to that 490 meter nanometer chipset That also does a good job in terms of cooling. We saw that improvement from the Snapdragon 8 plus Gen 1 So we're seeing that continue here with the 8 Gen 2 and again a huge leap from the 8 H Gen 1 that is pretty nice to see this temperatures and also give us what we've done the pretty good job with their cooling Internally to see what that means for other devices that are more gaming focus or even devices that are true gaming phones So something like the Galaxy S23 Ultra, which should be running the higher clock frequency device plus Once developers start optimizing their games for this new chipset We might see more fine-tuning performance maybe better research management and usage all around So I really like that now the other thing I just want to add here in terms of gaming is some of the gaming features That have been included in this device From Vivo Vivo has its game center its game hub where you have a couple of options here You have performance panel that allows you to go to boost mode to basically put a higher clock speed You can also Customize your refresh rate and of course your touch sampling at high Then you've got your game tools and the bunch of tools here for voice changer Blocking notification motion controls to put that in there your peripheral settings But nothing for an FPS counter and then we've got small window to bring it up your home screen as a window So again, that is pretty nice, and I'm glad that is there on this device now in terms of images As I mentioned, I'm not going to be talking about images in full detail in this video if you want to see more definitely go ahead and Leave your thoughts down below on if I should do a comparison with the S22 Ultra or the Pixel 7 Pro Now take a look at some of these images. Let me know what your thoughts are But in terms of gaming guys, what do you think of these numbers? These are quite impressive to me, especially for something that's not optimized. I am quite happy with that So guys, if you have any questions or any comments, let me know Otherwise, don't forget to like share subscribe and always enjoy your end
